I Don't Even Know WHAT'S Gonna Happen...

11:47pm: Regarding the internet, it's one confusing muddle. I didn't update yesterday, but basically the landlord came by not long after I got home - before I headed for the library - to ask if I'd sorted it all out. I asked him if the agent had called him and was a bit surprised when he said no because setting up a meeting between us all was how this was meant to be decided. Anywho, I decided to tell him about the possibilities I'd come up with, the $300 (plus?) new phone line installation was not a winner, but the suggestion I get an ADSL +2 line set up on his phone line under my name but with the router in his house went over even worse! Now admittedly, I didn't really explain the "in my name" part all that well, but I got the idea that I was getting into bad territory here. Like, my lease might not get renewed in February kind of idea, so I told him not to worry about the phone line I'd just deal.

Of course, this thoroughly sucks, I mean, I think I can get by on my phone like I mentioned last time I updated, but it would mean sacrificing regular visits to Tumblr or watching ice skating etc and it seems kind of...primitive to not have access to internet in this day and age.

So, I did what I usually do in this situation and called Mum, because I also wanted to tell her that we shouldn't go ahead with the awning idea, because the landlord probably wouldn't want people messing with his property. However, Mum pointed out that when she bought that idea up with him a few weeks back he was all for it, also she mentioned the important reason for getting it, for the summer time, because the way the Granny Flat faces means that the sun will shine in during then like nobody's business. Sure, I don't pay the electricity and I've got an air-con in here, but as Mum pointed out the landlord probably won't be thrilled when/if his electricity bill goes through the roof because I need to run the air-con all day!

She asked me if I'd called the agent to remind her that she was supposed to be setting up a meeting to discuss it, but I was hesitant. Although as Mum pointed out, the agent will be talking from a business prospective and would surely be better at convincing the landlord of the importance of having a phone line - especially if we - or rather I - offered to pay for it. Which, you know, I didn't want to do because it's expensive, but what can you do? I might be living in this place for quite a while, so....

Anyway, it'll still be a while before I find out what happens, especially since I got an email tonight saying that a new agent is taking over this property - which I hope doesn't complicate shit too much.

On a final note, I have to get my butt to bed because I need to get up early to meet Mum at Aldi to buy some awnings (they're actually the ones you put on the side of caravans) so I have to get up early (yuk).

So on that note I bid you all goodnight!
