ALRIGHT...I'll first start you off on the "Master Plan", because that is where this all goes wrong.
The "Master Plan" begins with us getting the apartment at Shaker House. Then it flows onto Tony leaving for North Dakota on or before the 27th of April. Then on May 1st, I hoped to sign the lease, then slowly but surely (with help from Charlotte, who volunteered) start on moving all our crap from our storage unit. If it happened to work out this way, if I emptied the storage unit before Tony got home, or at least got all of the necessary things out (not the crap Tony has plans for) my father volunteered to move the bed/tv/movies/clothes out of our current room at Jimmy's house. Weather Tony was home or not, that was the "Master Plan".
What was achieved was we got the apartment at Shaker House and Tony left for North Dakota on the 25th of April to make sure he got there on time. I couldn't sign the lease for the apartment because Tony was the one bringing in the income, he is the main lease-holder, and has to be present to sign the lease, which means I can't move anything until he signs the lease. Bummer. Obviously, the rest of the "Master Plan" can't happen because of that.
Jimmy was aware of our "Master Plan" before we were aware of the problems and flaws with the "Master Plan". Jimmy apparently believes that nothing ever goes wrong in the world and that the "Master Plan" would go through without any problems. But he told us as of last Friday, we wouldn't have to pay anymore rent because we were planning on starting the moving out process as of yesterday, but since the "Master Plan" blew up in our faces...Jimmy also asked me to put the cats in this new apartment I was supposed to have by today because they are causing him more stress and hassle that I can't mess with on account of I'm pregnant. Duh.
I enlightened Jimmy on the issues we now faced, and how the cats couldn't be moved because I had no apartment until Tony gets home. Tony is supposed to be released from his base on the 12th of May. It will take comfortably 2 days for him to drive home. He wanted to stop in Wisconsin to see a friend of his from basic training, NOT FOR A WEEK, just for like an hour or so. So let's pretend he gets out at 3pm on the 12th of May. Since he got up so early, like he will have done every day since he got there, like 4:30 every morning, he won't want to drive that day, he'll stay, sleep in the next morning, then leave, making it to Wisconsin that day, seeing his friend for probably the hour or so he wants to, and if not that night, the next day, then leave that day, being the 14th, and be home that day. Maybe even at the latest, if Tony really really dragged it out, he'd be home by the 15th. But I doubt that.
Jimmy told me today that this new dude, "Troy", whom I do not like; I don't like looking at his face, he has a really really bad mullet, and he doesn't know how to shut a fucking door, because for the last 3 nights in a row when he comes over to smoke Jimmy's pot, he has let my fucking cat out and then doesn't tell me about it until I'm "hey, have you seen Bill?"........"Oh, yeah, he got out like 2 hours ago when I got here......" anyways, Jimmy told me today that, and I quote for a reason, "he will be moving into your room when you move out on the 14th."
To which I reply, "Oh, well I don't know if we're moving out on the 14th, Tony wants to stop at his friends house in Wisconsin on his way back." And that was all I got out. Jimmy then went on to get an attitude, saying that Tony was starting to piss him off, and that he's trying to be nice and not make us pay the rent, and that Tony CAN NOT stop at his friends house, he needs to come straight home and get out of his spare room. I tried to tell him that I talked to him today, and if he hadn't interrupted me, he would've heard me say "he'll probably be home by the 15th, maybe 16th at the latest" but he continued to complain about how he's just trying to be nice and how Tony is putting him out in the wind, walking all over him as he walks away not even talking to me anymore. Then, since "Troy" was sitting in Jimmy's room, probably contemplating the concept of string, goes in there and continues to bitch about Tony and how he is going to "gallivant across the country for a week after he gets out of his class"...
So I guess what my issue seems to be, is what the hell am I supposed to say or do to Jimmy that won't screw up our friendship? My parents are kind of paying me at the bike shop, but my mom doesn't want to pay me under the table because it screws up her paper work, and if I can't get unemployment, she'd give me paychecks "above the table", and I'd be an employee. If I can get unemployment, I'll still work for her, but she'll take the money I'm making from her and just pay off my debt I owe them. But we don't know yet if I'm getting unemployment, so she payed me cash last Saturday, but I don't want her to screw up her paper work for too much longer, do I ask for a pay check this weekend and just give Jimmy $75 so he can't bitch at me and Tony? Do I tell Tony all this crap, just so Tony can get pissed off because somebody who has no business telling Tony what to do is telling Tony what to do which will then make Tony not want anything to do with Jimmy, which means our friendship will be all sorts of screwed up, most likely non-existent.
I'm kind of lost, and still pissed off that Jimmy said last week "yeah, sign your lease, and it would help me out a lot if you got those cats out of here...you can stay as long as you want, but your cats are just too stressful......." but now he's "oh, you need to be out by the 14th.... blah blah blah blah..."
I'm lost.
