I have an update on the purported raise. I was told that there is no answer yet to how much it will be or whether I will get it at all. I guess I jumped the gun but I'm still skeptical. Can you tell? And as far as the f***ing carpet goes I have decided to live with it until the end of the lease and then leave Archstone Redmond Hill for good. I'd like to send a letter to the district manager and the boss above that position too. On the one hand they say that the carpet cleaners cannot get the smell out yet thay will move me to another apartment, thus leaving the smell there. I don't want to change my address and move from this apartment I like. That is too much of an inconvenience for me. I also consider all of my time here so far to be mostly lost because I have never been able to adequately settle in. Bastards.
