uhhhhhggggggg

First I have to move to BAKERSFIELD of all places... and now this place... its... THE worst place. in. the. world. okay not world. not even bakersfield. probably not even this street.... BUT. It does suck. And it is too freaking expensive to suck to such a sucky extent. And we've called almost everyday with a new or the same problems... we feel annoying but we're just trying to get what we freaking paid for and not what they chose to give us. During the walk through everything seemed fine. I wasn't there just Tim. The first couple days after we moved in and the paint and cleaning chemicals started to fade, it started to smell like cat urine. everywhere! but mostly in the living room. at the same time we saw some dead roaches in the garage and didn't think anything of it. we didn't move out stuff in for 2 weeks because of moving truck complications. never use budget... bunch of unprofessional degenerates. anyways.. so we move in all our stuff and they agree to change out the carpet and pad .. but just in the living room.. i smelled the other rooms and decided it was just in the air so it was ok but said I'd prefer the whole carpet changed. this whole time we saw more and more roaches. when we confronted them about it they said they had a known roach problem in the entire complex and had an exterminator come twice a month to spray outside the units and a list of people who want the inside of their unit sprayed... ok so you knew you had a roach problem and didn't tell us....??? really? their exterminator didn't do crap. the was barely here 10 minutes and I swear he didn't do anything... i asked how long it would take to see results. he said i would see dead ones that night. i saw 4 live ones. not dead. i hadbeen trying things for 2 weeks to rid the roaches myself and finally decided to get crazy. we bought a bunch of caulk and sealed EVERYTHING we could think of. under the sinks, the doors, the cabinets, the showers, anything. i had put bay leaves around the kitchen. i rubbed mint on all the food containers.. not that we had a problem so bad they were getting in them but preventative maintenance is probably best. we had boric acid everywhere. i vacuum twice a day. sweep after meals and dont leave dirty dishes in the sink.. and only left rinsed dishes in there a couple times because the dishwasher was full. but all that still wasn't helping. so finally we brought up the cats. since caulking and cats... no roaches dead of alive, in the day or night. even with boric acid... we still saw at least 2 a night. and then the day the exterminator came.. that night we saw the biggest one i'd ever seen.. :( uhg. I cried all night. I HATE bugs but if i saw a spider i would kill it. if a moth or misquito slew on me it owuld be gross but i'd be ok. BUT ROACHES are different. they are so DISGUSTING and scary. tim doesn't understand my fear of roaches. he says its not as bad as i'm making it.. um. they can crawl on pretty much anything and they are gross and full of diseases and ugly and creepy and if you see 1 you probably have a bajillion.he told me his friend from Hawaii said that the roaches over there are massive and they fly! at you! i would die or kill myself. why do people like hawaii? after hearing that it sounds like a terrible place. Anyways so i guess it could be worse. a lot worse. but its still bad. was. i havent seen one in almost 48 hours. and i've been looking. but with all the steps we've taken to rid ourselves of this problem there is one big issue. the weather strips to ALL the doors were warped or not even there... they replaced the one on the garage door and put one on the front entrance door. but the just decided not to replace the warped one on the garage to kitchen door.... the worse one... where i know they were coming in. so after amost a week.. he finally did it... and its terrible.. does he even know what the purpose of a weather strip is? it doesn't even touch the floor! its almost worse than the warped one that was on there. is he insane? i want to just tell them we will do it ourselves. but when i said that the first time before they came they said to let the maintenance guy do it.. well he doesnt know what he is freaking doing so... yeah. my head hurts.
