I thought about it. I re-read the sales agreement and there was a Penalty in there if I cancelled without one of the various conditions being met. I decided I would wait and see what the payoff to me was.
If there were more deductions and I was significantly under the projections, I was going to stand up and announce her termination and my withdrawl and leave my attorny's card and a pile of torn up documents. BUT, as it worked out, I made a few thousand more than I was expecting, so I signed, lined through the signature space on the Contract Addendums of HIS which were there. Funny, his made it and there was never a meeting for his little juggling scheme approval and my one set of needs was completely ignored and even lied abouit when it came down to it.
Fvck him anyway.
When I was ready to leave, I came back into the conference room where Virginia was still arranging her briefcase.
I walked in a slowly closed the door behind me and said ....."Well! Wasn't that special? I want to thank you ,Virginia. I really do. It has been years since I've been hustled like you and your associate gig me. Thanks for rekindling the rage I spent those 2 years in therapy to calm and quiet. It'll give me something to chew on as I drive acroos the desert. Thank you for teaching me to never trust anyone ever again to do what they say they are doing,especially if they are LEGALLY tasked with representing me. That little number you and Woody pulled on me rivals ANY scam I've ever seen. That bit about you and he denying the meeting where I spoke to Woody directly about staying until the first, well that was just plain beautiful. Gaslighted by a couple of Grifters, Man, do I feel ...... "Special"
And you, when I'm questioning your association with Woodie, you roped me in with that "no love lost" comment. That really saved your bacon. I was just two seconds from calling my attorney to come check these contracts out and terminate our relationship when you let that slide. Lady, you are a piece of work! You really are. You've got some set of balls to pull something like this. With any luck, you'll be held up at gunpoint sometime soon, and perhaps you''ll have a taste of the feeling of helplessness and abandonment, I've had since the truth that you were screwing me on this deal sank in. May your life be interesting, and I hope you drop dead soon."
Turned on my heel and walked out the door, Got in the car and took off. Screw her and that little office of lying BASTARDS. In another timeline, there would have been a would've been a "workplace incident in Albany and Emeryville today. Several; people have been shot and Police have set up a SWAT team and there are negotiators there trying to defuse the sitation. Film at 11:00........"
She sat there with this wierd look on her face, almost like she was shocked that I would say anything , at all and then just nail her between eyes with Alien's own "Shock and Awe"
But, we all know those that steal from you, especially if they are close to you, can look you in the eyes and LIE through their teeth without getting any on their shirt or your shoes.
I don't know if she was expecting me to REALLY thank her. I mean, I didn't get anything I requested to help me get packed and get out in a timely manner, despite at least a half a dozen meetings with her where I WAS very clear on what I needed for truck rentals, bills payoffs and a little Float and my questions to her about "where are the addendums of mine?" She was always so positive and upbeat, I never thought for a minute that she was conning me.
OH, I almost forgot!!!
Ballsy ol' broad says, "Well, Woody and I are willing to give you three each to help you out. I replied "Really!?Three plus Three THOUSAND?! That'll work. " She goes, " No, HUNDRED..." I looked at her laughed and said "I'm driving a Truck hauling a Car a, wood and elctricaL SHOP WORTH OF TOOLS practically THREE THOUSAND M<iles and YOU REALLY THINK 6 hundred dollars is what I need to get out of town? You ARE insane, you must BE That or DRUNK." Get out of my face.
Now I have to put the truck rental on the CCard, which encumbers the card more than I wanted to and NOWW I'll have to write some checks for these bills. I guess I'll pay the phone with the big money.
I pick up my truck and car carrier on Monday AM. I'm going with BUDGET. They're $3k less than PENSKE! and they give me 10 daysand 3,600 miles to get where I need to go. Mapquest says it's
I'll be done loading up before 1:00pm as I only have a coupl,e of pieces of furniture that I'm keeping. Mostly, we're hauing tools and sound equipment and some clothes and furniture. Ginger is going to ride up front with me. This should be interesting..... Figured I'l put her litter and some food and water in there, put her in her carrier until we get underway, then let her out. She'lll sniff around a bit, find the Litter Box and Food and then come curl up next to me while I drive. ARRRRRRRDRDRGRGFDRGDGRHKRRKGGHGHGHHhhghyh.
I am TRYING to let go , though.
I didn't hurt anyone, nor did I become threatening, although I have some scenes in mind now that are MUCH more violent than I have ever been. Just conside me the honest, but brave shopkeeper who meets slick city criminal and hoists him on his pertard"... kind of plotline.
My next house purchase will be very different, let me assure you. I am now thinking that I'ld rather have an attorney than a Real Estate Agent allegedly working in my behalf
