This whole deal has been - strange. 

Even closing yesterday was a bit different.

Upon arrival at the title company, my realtor was standing out front of the building.  She approached my SUV and informed me they didn't want anyone coming in the building, that we would do the signing outside. 

Okay.  The lady comes out with a huge stack of papers, looks around, doesn't have a clue where to do this at. Remember, these people set the day and time for this signing, we had nothing to do with it. In fact, I had asked for Wednesday or Thursday.  I could get some stuff done over there.

So, in 97 degree heat at 83% humidity and quite hot outside, in the direct sunlight, she plops this pile of papers down on the tailgate of a pickup truck and says I need to sign every paper that has a tab sticking out of it. Unbelievable.  No table and chair set up somewhere, just let's stand up and sign away! 

I said nothing about my sentiments about this setup, one has to wonder why they didn't think of all of this in advance and have something arranged - in advance.  I signed all of the paperwork and then found out they were lacking some legal document that needed signed as well. I don't remember the name of it, my realtor was shocked when the lady told her she had forgotten to have it ready.

I asked what it was for. Basically guarantees everything you are signing here and the down payment you just gave them...... Yikes...

Then this lady asks me if I want a copy of everything? Again, bite my tongue. When on earth wouldn't I want a copy of all of the documents I just signed including receipt for the over $15,000 I just handed them? What kind of question is that.  It was obvious we were inconveniencing this person.  I just wanted to get it over with and get out of there, I replied she could email it to me if that was the easiest route.  Yes! she replies.

Well, guess what never happened? Yup.  no copy of the papers was sent to me.  As I said, this whole transaction from beginning until end has been a battle.  

I dunno, but it's - over with, I think.  

I went over there today to the property and did a guesstimate of how far it is from the edge of the street to 10 feet on the other side of the power pole/lines.  I would have measured but I forgot that I had taken the wheel measurer out last week.  50 feet beyond that I figure for any buildings I may want to have constructed in the future. The small portable building is like 8 feet wide.  I just want to leave room for a clubhouse.  It should be up front and there will be ample room for a parking lot.  

I'm supposed to go to work tomorrow - not that I want to but they are insisting on the 12 days and done.  However, being placed on leave of absence put this thing under some sort of legal garbage with the Family Leave Act.  Some lady from Ohio tried to call me yesterday, I was informed this morning - many times I was told.  I looked at my phone. She tried to call once.  I don't know why I have to talk to anyone to get back on, i didn't for them to take me off.  Anyway, tomorrow is up in the air atm as I've tried to call this person back 3 times now and have given up, letting my manager know I tried and that's that.  

If I feel like this tomorrow, I can tell ya I will have no desire to go to work.  Another Sunday work day, plus miss Labor Day holiday. I might be home Labor Day - late evening. 

I feel like I'm just whining and complaining right now.  It's probably just the way I am feeling. The closing yesterday didn't sit well with me regardless of getting it done and over with. Just unprofessional people attempting to act like professionals.  

I think I'll go take a nap.
