A break...
You know...I think I'm going to take a little break from my roommate search. I met with another potential roommate this morning, a 44 year old computer geek that will be moving to C-ville on June26th. He too had no interest in signing a lease, but felt the need to give me a list of things that I should address with the property management company and my current roommate alike. He insisted on seeing my Shane's room, even though I showed him mine, which is identical in size/arrangement. I hadn't warned Shane, and felt that it would be rude to allow a stranger to look in. Eventually I caved, thinking that it had only been 3weeks. How bad could it look? Of course, Shane's room was disgusting.

"You should be sure he cleans that up. He should steam-clean the carpets, etc." says the prospective roommie.

Indeed he should, but I don't think he will. At this point, I just want my keys back without incident.

If you're not on the lease then you can't complain officially. This will sap my energy like nothing else. I think I'll be turning him down.

I'll be able to afford to live solo with my raise in salary. I could use a break from this headache.
