Not only did I forget it, but I couldn't find it when I went back upstairs. Figuring it was either borrowed by my roommate and somewhere unknown to me or I left it down there last time, I went to get more. Got more, came back and the machine wouldn't take my damned new Loonie coins.
By now the elevator was working, but still, worst laundry experience in a while.

The new loonie coins kinda freak me out. They have a really weird gold sheen that sometimes almost looks a bit green, making them seem really fake.

Almost Blew My Hand Off Tonight. Burrito and I suffered some hearing loss when a mortar exploded in the cardboard tube while I was holding it. Thirty minutes later our friend accidentally lit a strand of mortars that were twined together by their fuses... Everybody hit the deck and nobody got hurt so it ended up being pretty sweet. Just hoping our hearing gets back to 100%!

Spending the next two work days preparing for a meeting to prove to someone that I really shouldn't need to prove anything to that I did my job just fine. I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place. I feel like I need to defend my integrity, but if I do I will potentially put a client's housing situation at risk... but I'm in this position because the client clearly lied about my interactions with her..... but I get it since throwing me under the bus probably feels like a necessary evil for her to keep her housing. Hmmph.

- agreeing to a lowball offer on our condo in the interest of getting an offer in on a house that, as of July 9th with the new mortgage rules, will be out of our price-range - finding out that the offer we put on that house was rejected AFTER signing the deal on the condo - having to come up with another $10k to make this deal happen, or we're stuck either renting something or buying some other house that we will probably hate.

That sucks dude. Was the offer on the house rejected because someone put in a better offer or because they just want more money?
One thing to keep in mind is that the new mortgage rules bring down pretty much everyone's price range a little. That means prices will likely drop to meet everyone's new affordability. If they turned down your offer because they want a better one from somewhere else there's a pretty good chance they won't be getting a better offer any time soon.

They simply think they can sell it for more. We didn't offer what they were asking (because nobody every does in real estate). The salesperson at the showhome actually flat out told us that this house was selling about 2 months ago for the price we offered. However, because the market is hot right now (because everybody is trying to sneak in a purchase before the deadline) they think they can get asking price for it.
From a business standpoint I get it. From a personal standpoint I fucking hate him.

In the grand scheme of things, Ryan the Realtor was the least of our issues. Good lord. What a fucking gongshow this whole process has been, and continues to be.

A year ago houses would routinely sell for 5-10% over asking price. Why anyone would do that is beyond me. That's like going into a store and seeing jeans for $50 and saying "I'll give you $60 for them!" Thankfully our market is finally heading in the downward direction so that isn't too common anymore. The salesperson at the showhome actually flat out told us that this house was selling about 2 months ago for the price we offered. However, because the market is hot right now (because everybody is trying to sneak in a purchase before the deadline) they think they can get asking price for it. From a business standpoint I get it. From a personal standpoint I fucking hate him. Well if it doesn't sell in the near future then you might be able to get it for even cheaper and qualify under the new rules and pay less interest in the long run too. I don't know how much breathing room you have before you have to move out of your condo, but it might work out. Failing that renting aint so bad. Finding a place is 100x less stressful since you know its not permanent so you don't have to be as picky and you can even try an area you might have been considering to try it out.

Once this whole thing is done and over with I'm sure I'll be a lot less jaded about the industry and will be able to talk about it with a level head.

If I were you, I'd prefer to never think about it again. This thing has been fucking with your shit for the last like seven months.
