Whose idea was this?

I'm sick of the move already.

I'm not sick of packing boxes; I'm not sick of wanting to move. I'm super excited to live in Cheyenne and start my new job. No, I'm sick of everybody wanting to take advantage of you when you're spending a shitload of money.

First, there's the rent. Yes, we signed a lease. Yes, we're responsible for paying the rent on the place we live in if it doesn't rent. So, our ever trustworthy and awesome landlord has found a new way to fuck us over. It's called, "Barely trying to rent this place out." By advertising only in the Sauk Prairie Star, she has allowed her ad to be seen by a whopping three people.

Had she advertised in the Eagle, which would've gotten the apartment listed on Madison.com, the apartment would be rented by now.

She's probably going to make us pay electric, too.

Then again, what do you expect? This is the same greedy whore who was about to sell one of her buildings -- which just so happens to be one of the most historic in Sauk City...and was named to the State Historical Register's most endangered list -- so that it could be demolished to make way for a Walgreens.

The pinnacle came when she didn't bother to tell her tenants that the building was going to be demolished and they found out about it from the newspaper. Megan and I had previously lived in the building and she didn't tell us this either but was threatening to make us pay rent if we weren't going to rent with them -- despite the fact that Megan's asthma was terrible from others smoking in their apartments and the smoke coming in through upstairs windows.

Needless to say, we didn't get off on the right foot and the bitch hates us.

Next, there's U.S. Cellular. These jokers want $150 each for two cell phones that will be rendered useless because we're moving. While most cell phone companies are understanding and just ask for some proof that you're moving so they can cancel your contract -- no questions asked -- these money-hungry whores.

Then there is the new power company, whose reps are asking that we put down a deposit of $150 because I have never had a utility in my name...because I had to pay a municipality and not a real company.

Oh, but it gets better.

If my new company doesn't have Merrill Lynch, I have to withdraw my 401k or retirement or something from my present company. (It's mandatory.) And then, I get stuck paying 20 percent income tax when I withdraw and then I get to pay another tax at the end of the year.

So this is all happening before U-Haul is going to decide to take a chunk at me and the gas pumps take a bite out of my ass. In addition, I have already purchased health insurance and I need to go get new car insurance. And guess who has student loan bills to pay?

Moving on with your life because of a nice, new job is great.

Getting there sucks -- as all these assholes try to stick it to you.
