    Termites!

    The apartment next to mine has been invaded by termites. They've been trying to exterminate them, but aparently to no avail.

    Starting on Monday the 26th, we have to find someplace else to be for two days, while they fumagate the building. Pack up the kitties and any good which isn't in an airtight container.

    This sucks.

    Sorry to hear that. Do you have a place to stay at?

      Is not pest control part of the owners obligations, assuming you rent?

      They should pay for you to stay somewhere else, or at least prorate your rent so you get those two days back.

        Just out of curiosity - do you have some nuclear plants, earthquake areas or toxic factories in your neighbourhood that you expect getting "active" ? You seem to be haunted by some bad luck.

        Maybe you should have been nicer to that baby squirrel.
        With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

            This so blows. We haven't been able to get ahold of our friends, so we may have to shell out for a hotel, plus cab fair too and from (since we have to bring the kitties and any non-airtight food, as well as work clothes for the wife and interview clothes for me). Plus all the incidental expenses.

            Grrrr. Upside is the cheapest hotel I could find so far is on the beach.

              Check the laws, but you DEFINITELY should be reimbursed in some way for this, at MINIMUM rent back for the period you're away, likely more than that (depends on state etc.)

                I get two days rent back. That will cover part of the two days in the hotel. It's really not the hotel that bothers me so much, as all the **** I have to drag with. Two-weeks notice isn't enough time to eat down our food reserves. I've got a lot of food that I'll have to take with in a cooler. It's a five day cooler, but I still have to lug it around. And I won't have anything to cook with, so it's PB&Js for a couple days. And that's something I don't have.

                  I'm outta here. See ya, Wednesday.

                  Don't feel too bad though, this is where I'll be staying. Cheapest rates I could find in town. It's on the beach.
