Good afternoon folks! Happy Hump Day to you!!!
I spent my day in court. Why you ask? I had to fight for my right!! That's why!!!
Before my last apartment, I lived with a crazy woman for 17 months. After a year, her ex boyfriend moved in with us at which point it didn't take long for me to realize that I was going to have to leave...fast!! So, I started to get the wheels in motion by submitting the proper documentation to management stating my departure date etc. I also made sure that these two characters did complete a new lease contract and I also made sure that they did in fact submit that for processing. My date for moving arrives and I leave in peace...or that is what I thought!
As it turns out...that was not the case. A few weeks ago, I was told by my boss that she was going to have to garnish my wages because I had been sued for rent in arrears. Ha!!! I was totally taken aback. WTF did that mean? As far as I was concerned, I had ALWAYS paid my rent. I immediately acted on this bullshit and managed to get a suspension on the garnishment as well as an appeal hearing on the judgement that was made against me....without my presence. Today was the day to appeal that judgement!
Now, I want you to know that the way I am presenting this to you...elicits a sense of easiness. Getting that suspension and appeal hearing....was no easy task. Spent an entire day running around Toronto and Mississauga and missed work. It was no easy feat! Further more; today took up my whole friggin day and lest I mention the stress, discomfort and fear of losing consuming my mind and heart. I was a nervous wreck last night right into today. I experienced physiological problems due to my nervousness and anxiousness...that NO ONE could compensate me for. I will spare you the details!!!
My turn finally comes up in the court room.....after many hours of listening to other terrible situations. I sit at the table and am next to my nemesis....my ex landlord's lawyer. I am doing my utmost to stay calm, cool and collected. As soon as the evil man opens his mouth to state his case, I envision myself jumping out of my seat, reaching across to him and hurting him. LMAO!!!! During our 30 minutes of discussion with the judge....I came to realize that although I was sure I had done my best and that I had done EVERYTHING I believed I needed to do.....it still wasn't enough! I could see the words..."management is awarded the judgement" coming from the judges mouth.....but to my shock....the words "the case is dismissed" came out instead!!!
HOLY SHIT BALLS!!!!
Let me say that again.....
HOLY SHIT BALLS!!!!
I won!!! I f***n won!!!! I can't believe it!!!! Yay.....there is justice in the world!!!! I was really doubting the system....but, they did come through with the right decision!!!
So...here I am....looking at a chilled bottle of champagne!!! I am going to excuse myself right now to go and drink this while I smoke on my parent's patio!!!
Have a great afternoon folks! Till tomorrow
