So The Zombie* and I have had a variety of inane conversations and she's convinced me that she's really not the smartest woman. Here's the most recent:
So I left notice on Friday with the Zombie that we're moving out at the end of the month. When I got out of the lab on Friday afternoon, my cell phone had a message on it. I checked it, and it was the Zombie telling me that they wanted to show my apartment and that I should call them back to confirm. Well, obviously, my apartment is a mess and I don't want it shown, so I called back and got a busy signal. So this morning I called back again, left a message with their answering service and gave her my office number (not for the first time) for them to call me.
The Zombie: "So, we're showing your apartment at 11 am this morning... is that okay?"
The Cynic: "No, I would rather that you not do that."
Z: "Well, you should have called us back on Friday when we called your cell phone... it's scheduled now."
VC: "Wait a second... So you can schedule my apartment for showing unless I call you up to tell you I don't want to?"
Z: "Well... so long as you're there, you have the right to refuse, but I already scheduled the showing."
So at this point I guessed I'd have to go home and turn them away at the door or... *shudder* clean, so I lobbed the long-ball.
VC: "Look, if you show my apartment, you'd best be sure you're covered legally, because I WILL call a lawyer"
Z: "Well FINE then, we just won't show your apartment. You'll be gone at the end of the month ANYWAYS!"
*click*
Yeah... I think she just hung up on me. I'm just puzzled as to what the crap she's thinking... as if living anywhere besides in these crappy apartments is a punishment or something.

*So, when my slum-lord wears her makeup, she looks like a zombie. I know from various conversations with her that she can't be older than 40, but the amount that she's smoked makes her look 65 or so and she has stringy, dirty hair to accentuate the look. Thus, I refer to her as The Zombie.
