sometimes the flower, other times the weed

so.

same ol' same ol': mister STILL didn't get the raise, our CA house STILL hasn't sold, and blah blah. 

as far as his raise/promotion goes, i'm mostly sure it will happen, but jeez. these people move slowly. 

as far as the house goes, we DID get two offers! the LA guy one and one from people in the community there. LA one we sent back a "since you are trying to sell your house yourself w/o an agent, we can't accept your offer until you have an accepted offer on your house" and the 2nd one? they backed out when their newbie agent told them the solar wasn't paid for and they'd have to pay it off/xfer the lease. still, it was an offer. a shitty one, but an offer. lol 

we know that the solar is an issue with most buyers — it's why a number of people have walked. so what's the solution? apparently, raise the price by 20K and say we'll pay off the lease. which, if someone offers fullish price means we'd end up paying off half of the lease out of our pocket....which is what we said we'd do to begin with. makes NO sense to me, but whatever. 

i'm just done.

i've always found it distasteful when people repeatedly insert what their job is into regular conversation. "as an attorney i'm super busy and you should bake bread at 375 degrees in a steamy oven." 

i understand it's a blend of insecurity and trying to one-up, but still. meh. i don't CARE what you do for a living...i care what you read. =D
