Setsuna's crazy adventures - a cataloguing

I dunno. I think I've been wishing on and off for my entire life.
Am I doing the wishing wrong?
Setsuna:
Only in a world like this...
So I finally arrange for the lease to be signed, and for us to get the keys to the place. The place is part of an affordable housing programme, and how it works is that a market rent is medianed for the area for the size/location and a % is charged (as the NSW government will pay off the rest). The actual percentage is 74.9% of market (and I have no idea why they chose that percentage)
The rates stay that for the duration of the lease.
So what happens?
Literally 30 minutes before we turn up (I'm serious, the document was dated WHILE I was in transit) the calculations were run again, and it moved the rent up 20 dollars a week.
I'm not sure if I should laugh or cry.
MetalPredat0r:
Life can be the ultimate cruel comedy sometimes.
Anyway, glad to know you have a place to live, even if the price cheated.
Amazing_Grace:
You just can't catch a break, huh?
Well, at the least, I'm also glad you have a place to live. Hopefully, things will look up for you. I mean, there's nowhere to go but up, right?
... ...Right?
Setsuna:
Well, the lease HAS been signed, and I have taken possession of the keys. It's a one year, with options to renew (and the rent recalculated every year) so it means I can finally start an actual rebuilding process.
So as of 4pm Tuesday, I have a place to stay.
Of course, there's nothing in it yet. That's going to be the job for the next few weeks, and months.
First things first of course (And where all the money I've been accumulating and the like kick into play) and that is to get a fridge and washing arrangements.
... Unfortunately, the space to get said washing machine to its space is really tight compared to even the smallest washing machine.
The doorway gap is 61cm. The washing machine I picked out is a minimum of 60cm.
I might gain a few more cm of breathing room if we temporarily remove the bathroom door though.
I think this is the sort of little things a lot of you will expect to happen as you all get older and I seem to be good at handling these things, although, I'm not sure if I have anything going for me EXCEPT that...
