Hello thread, it's been a month. So I just found out, once again from Facebook, that the other half of our roommate pair got a transfer and starts in NC on June 1. He's at a conference this week so we haven't heard anything from him in a few days. The wife, who is already in NC and started her new job, posted yesterday on FB that she was going apartment hunting, and then later that day said "I have a surprise!" and was cryptic in all the responses. It finally came out in the apartment-hunting thread that he got the transfer for June 1.
I'm pretty much seething right now. They knew it pissed us off the first time, and now they're being covert about it again.
My question is, what do Ryan and I do now about this situation? Do I confront them and let them know we'll be looking for roommates and that if we find one they need to be sure they have their shit out of our house ASAP? Do we try to give it a month so that we have the whole house to ourselves when the baby comes? Ryan suggested that if we find someone willing to babysit in lieu of paying rent, we could get rid of the $450 a month fee of daycare, but I'm not sure we know anyone who can do that, and Craigslist (and other online agencies) makes me nervous, especially with a baby involved.
Bleh. Halp!
