• I Win! (for now)

  After relating my tale of landlord woe to my coworkers, one of the VP's
  suggested I ask for advice from the agency lawyer. Which worked out
  really well! Terry is amiable and funny, and he and i have an inside
  joke which goes back to a hearing i did with him last spring, and ever
  since then he's called me the "Wicked Witch."

  So I emailed him the jist of my problem, he called me up and said "eees thees the WEEKED WEETCH?!"

  The good news is that i'm absolutely in the right, and he quoted
  experience from his law school days, when he and (now Governor) Deval
  Patrick worked on tenancy cases together. ha-hah! After joking around a
  bit he offered to send some legalese in the offending landlord's
  direction, stipulating that he needs to stay away from me and how to go
  about transferring my tenancy to the new owner. Sort of the legal
  equivalent of saying "BACK off, Motherfarka'!".

  Which I love love love. Yes yes. i'm going to bake this man some cookies this weekend, and start packing my things.
