I really, truly, want to drive up to Destin, and kick someone's ass.
I'm starting to think I'm on candid camera. Or, MTV's Boiling Points. No kidding. Because I do not see how it's even possible for people to fuck things up this badly, unless they are doing it on purpose for the sake of entertainment.
I don't know- maybe I misunderstood the email I got from the bank's title company last night that said this:
We are ready to close on our end. We have clear title, and searches are back. We can close whenever you are ready..
So then, I contact my title company to set up the closing for Monday, and then tell my buyer that we are ready to close Monday. And then I get a call this afternoon from one of the "closing coordinators" for the bank who informs me that they just started the title work YESTERDAY.
WTF?
Seriously, W. T. F?
And then when I tried to call the lady who sent me the email last night telling me they were ready to close- she does not answer, and does not respond to emails.
Good times.
Edit/P.S.
The more I look at this picture, the more I think this (fox?) looks sick, and/or inflicted with rabies, and now I feel bad for posting it at all. Maybe I have just had a few too many glasses of wine, though, and am over analyzing? Either way, I did not mean to poke fun at a sick fox, as that is not my style. In case you were wondering.

The One Where The Bank's Title Company Tells Me It's Ready To Close On Monday, When, In Actuality, They Haven't Even Started The Title Work Yet (YAY!)

Hey Steph,
If it makes you feel any better I have a guy who is "buying" two duplex's from me. It started off that he had a line of cred and could close ASAP. Then he started asking all of these questions which was fine, but now he is asking how firm the price is because his "Money People" his words, are tightening up because of the Holidays and the economy. I told him that I'm not participating in the recession and to either get me a P.O.F or shove off... AHHHHHHHAHHAHA. Thanks I feel better. And this has just been an ongoing problem as of late... OH Well time to kick back and enjoy more WHHHYYYNNN!!! Dustin Indy
Hehehe.
I always cringe when people start talking about their "money people" or "partners." Those terms are almost always the KOD (kiss of death).
Does this guy actually have it under contract, or is he just talking?
I was supposed to have contract tonight, but I guess I was hit with the FKOD (french kiss of death) OH Well they are great deals and will go quick.... My tonsils hurt;0
FKOD. Good one. :)
Steph,
Being from the "Fox Valley", I know a thing or two about Foxes.......and yours, he's not sick, he's howling/singing.
Might even be drunk from berries..........so, the picture is more on the mark than you think.
Good luck getting all deals closed............you'll do fine. Frustration simply means your not bored.
Love your blog, my wife and I enjoy the laughs you provide here, thanks,
Jim
Hey Jim!
How's it going over there in Lakeland?
Thanks for putting my mind at ease about the fox.. He does look kinda drunk, though. Or something. Maybe just frustrated, like it says..
Glad you and the Mrs. are enjoying my misadventures... We'll all have to get together for a beer soon- I owe you one. Also, have some stuff I'd like to talk to you about..
Take care,
Steph
P.S.
I clicked over to your site and laughed my ass off at the "I'm not going to call you "friend" every few minutes" line. Hehehehehe. Classic.
