thought myself some more time in personal thoughts

i counted thirteen days left until the balance in my banking account would reach zero and i’d get the boot of the apartment. i learned through jen, a redhead that works down at the apartment’s office, that despite rent deadlines being firm, that they won’t bother knocking on your dead until at least 7 days pass and no rent cheque is made. of course, it would really just be a mailed envelope or a phone call, not a knock. she also said that because of the new renovations happening on the 4th floor, that the office is flooded with paperwork for new tenants, and that those 7 days would likely become two weeks. i figure i’d send an early cheque, assume they’d take a week or more to find out it would bounce, then i’d send another and buy myself another few days or a week. but, by that time i figure i’d have the money. with the extra twenty days, this gives me a total of thirty-three days, instead of the measly thirteen i counted the night before.
