So, my temporary housing while I'm getting settled in here is handled by Aboda, which basically rents out a bunch of apartments everywhere and then sublets them on a daily basis, providing short-term corporate housing for people who have relocated or whatever. This time I ended up in what was called a one-bedroom unit in Fountain court, but it's more of a junior one-bedroom instead.

Things I expected to have in this place:

• Space to put my stuff
• A desk on which I could work
• A TV, ideally with a reasonable setup

Things I got instead:

• A living room that is way over-crowded with furniture that is completely excessive and unnecessary for a single person to stay for a month or two
• A tiny bedroom with a billion dressers (okay, actually just one REALLY BIG dresser and two smaller nightstand-dressers) whose drawers hit up against the bed when they're opened, and which gives no space for keeping a suitcase, and a tiny tiny closet with no space
• A bathroom with a ridiculous amount of towelage
• A dining table with four carefully-arranged place settings which demonstrate that I can, in fact, have people sitting at the table (and which after driving for two days straight just read as "oh great, more crap I have to move before I can do anything in here)
• Two LCD HDTVs (one more than necessary), hooked up to an old-fashioned cable box via RF modulator

Things I was hoping to find in the information packet:

• Information about the amenities of the building I'm staying in (rules and regulations on the swimming pool, fitness center, what other things there are to begin with, etc.)
• Information about what the various keys I got are for
• Information about where to put my garbage
• Information about how to pick up any packages or mail that arrive for me

Things that were in the information packet:

• Condescending instructions on how to use basic appliances (the garbage disposal, dish washer, alarm clock, etc.)

Fortunately it's just temporary. Hopefully I can find out where the heck the garbage goes, though. Werner's poop is getting smelly.
