Left for work this morning and discovered a For Sale sign on the front lawn. The following thoughts flashed through my mind:<\/p>\n
1) Denial: There is no sign. I’m still drunk from the night before.<\/p>\n
2) Anger: Damn landlord! He mentioned nothing of bailing the last time we spoke.<\/p>\n
3) Bargaining: Maybe the new owner won’t raise the rent or boot me.<\/p>\n
4) Sorrow: After living here for seven years, I’ll miss the apartment.<\/p>\n
5) Acceptance: Oh well, maybe it’s time to move into another place anyway. It was a good run, but now it’s over.<\/p>\n
Shortly after step five, I left a message for the landlord, inquiring about the sign. He called back two hours later.<\/p>\n
The place is not for sale. Some kids removed the sign from another house and planted it in the yard as a joke.<\/p>\n
Oh, the humanity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
