Can you scan it and email to yr mom as a pdf instead?

jaq, Friday, 10 July 2009 21:13 (fourteen years ago) link

good point! when my landlady was faxing the application to me and she didn't know what she was doing and thought it didn't work, she had her friend's husband pdf and email it to me. joke was on all of them though, because the fax came through 3 times!

te,he (tehresa), Friday, 10 July 2009 21:17 (fourteen years ago) link

if you scan/pdf it and send it to me, i can fax it to your mom, harbl

lxy, Friday, 10 July 2009 21:23 (fourteen years ago) link

alternatively, you could take a photo of it, post it here, and give your mom the link

lxy, Friday, 10 July 2009 21:24 (fourteen years ago) link

i don't have scanner :(

spite n ease (harbl), Friday, 10 July 2009 21:48 (fourteen years ago) link

call and read it to her, have her type it up, sign it and email it to you

lxy, Friday, 10 July 2009 22:11 (fourteen years ago) link

lol

i hope i can figure out something because it is a cuet apartment, it has a reasonable-sized kitchen and also a loft that looks really fun! like you could put a futon and a tv up there and it would be like a secret tiny room. imagine all the things you could do up there! you can also hide from the cops or the national guard in the event of a disaster. i don't want to get too excited though, maybe the other guy who was looking at it after me will get it but he looked flaky

spite n ease (harbl), Friday, 10 July 2009 22:32 (fourteen years ago) link

that sounds fun! i wish i had a secret loft. maybe i could make a closet hideout.

te,he (tehresa), Friday, 10 July 2009 22:45 (fourteen years ago) link

it sounds nice, i hope you get it.

i bought a cheap fax machine last year because of days like this and now every time i have to use it i think, i love you dear little helpful old fashioned fax machine right here at my house.

please note: the name of that business is Postman Plus Carney, which is causing all kinds of fucked up images to swirl around in my head.

lxy, Friday, 10 July 2009 23:05 (fourteen years ago) link

harford road is not nearby! i would check google maps if this internet was not so slowwwww

spite n ease (harbl), Friday, 10 July 2009 23:23 (fourteen years ago) link

oh well, they're closed by now anyway.

Postman Plus Carney is still haunting me.

lxy, Friday, 10 July 2009 23:39 (fourteen years ago) link

is there a fedex or kinkos store nearby? i have faxed from there before. or staples/office depot maybe?

te,he (tehresa), Friday, 10 July 2009 23:39 (fourteen years ago) link

yes, that is quite an image!!!!

t. silaviver, Friday, 10 July 2009 23:41 (fourteen years ago) link

i guess there is fedex/kinkos downtown? i just want something closer! i'd have to do this tomorrow i just always end up spending half the day on dumb tasks and never starting studying until like 1. i kind of want to just ask the guy to fax it for me but i feel like it reflects poorly on my abilities

spite n ease (harbl), Friday, 10 July 2009 23:42 (fourteen years ago) link

looking at lots of craiglist ads for apartments makes me crazy, the way they use words. are realtors humans?

spite n ease (harbl), Friday, 10 July 2009 23:45 (fourteen years ago) link

xp

if you glowered at everyone, he will be too frightened to have bad thoughts about you.

if you charmed everyone, he will welcome the opportunity to do the faxing favor.

you can't lose.

lxy, Friday, 10 July 2009 23:52 (fourteen years ago) link

do you think this place will do it? http://www.ubalt.edu/template.cfm?page=207 college print shops usually do faxing, right? i bet i need a student id to get in there though. colleges hate when homeless people go in the student center!

spite n ease (harbl), Saturday, 11 July 2009 01:24 (fourteen years ago) link

can you flash your old law school id and hope they don't notice?

te,he (tehresa), Saturday, 11 July 2009 01:45 (fourteen years ago) link

is there a mail boxes, etc. type place like the one lxy found but closer?

te,he (tehresa), Saturday, 11 July 2009 01:45 (fourteen years ago) link

xp they usually have a swipe thing at the door at these places, no?
there is copycat printing, i might try that. no mailboxes, no kinkos except downtown. though maybe copycat and kinkos are equidistant now that i think about it

spite n ease (harbl), Saturday, 11 July 2009 01:53 (fourteen years ago) link

oh jk copycat is closed on saturday and downtown kinkos is closed forever so i have to go to the one that is kind of far. i guess i'll take a long walk tomorrow morning instead of running, i haven't run since may anyway what's another day

spite n ease (harbl), Saturday, 11 July 2009 02:02 (fourteen years ago) link

which copy cat are were you looking at? there's a fedex/kinkos place really close to the one on charles street.

lxy, Saturday, 11 July 2009 02:44 (fourteen years ago) link

today is the one year anniversary of my last moving day - all the way from nz to usa!

smoove operator, Saturday, 11 July 2009 04:10 (fourteen years ago) link

lxy what? i thought kinkos was at 3003 charles street or something. that's 18 blocks away. copycat on charles is only 10 blocks away, but closed.
also my mom doesn't have a fax machine anymore so all i need is a copy! might just go to library but it's not open until 10.

spite n ease (harbl), Saturday, 11 July 2009 11:34 (fourteen years ago) link

k i copied it at the library and mailed it and dropped off my part of the application. hoping hoping hoping.

spite n ease (harbl), Saturday, 11 July 2009 15:12 (fourteen years ago) link

good luck, baltimore

te,he (tehresa), Saturday, 11 July 2009 17:14 (fourteen years ago) link

yay! he already said i can have it! :))))))))))

spite n ease (harbl), Saturday, 11 July 2009 19:22 (fourteen years ago) link

hooray congrats!

te,he (tehresa), Saturday, 11 July 2009 19:24 (fourteen years ago) link

finally gonna have a reasonably-sized kitchen and a grown-up stove too! i have like no furniture though. i'm gonna get a bed but i left my table and one of my bookcases in ohio.

spite n ease (harbl), Saturday, 11 July 2009 19:28 (fourteen years ago) link

when we finally have sandbox fap baltimore all the sandboxers can sleep in the loft together <3

i have the biggest apartment i've ever had all to myself but i still only have a bed and a coffee table (more like plant table. daisy and the herbs live there). i think i need to buy a vacuum today because waiting for a free one is not working.

te,he (tehresa), Saturday, 11 July 2009 19:41 (fourteen years ago) link

yes this will be the biggest apt i've ever had! i can't believe how long i spent in my last apartment with it being so tiny but i sort of enjoyed it sometimes

i had a mini shopvac that i bought with my lexisnexis points and it was TERRIBLE. it picked up some things, and it looked sort of clean, but there was still always my hair all over the place and the wheels would fall off if you picked it up, and it of course doesn't have a bag. i hate how expensive real vacuums are. anyway don't buy a small shopvac even though it seems like an attractive option (cheap)

spite n ease (harbl), Saturday, 11 July 2009 20:27 (fourteen years ago) link

how long does it take to get internet set up? i recall in rochester waiting for 23 days without internet because of big fall rush, and then in columbus it was no problem at all (though i called a month ahead i think), but i don't know what's normal. i guess i'll wait until i sign the lease at least.

spite n ease (harbl), Saturday, 11 July 2009 20:29 (fourteen years ago) link

i had to wait a week from when i ordered til it was supposed to be activated but then it didn't actually get activated til 5 days later so... week and a half to two weeks? rochester was always super slow with the hookups.

te,he (tehresa), Saturday, 11 July 2009 20:32 (fourteen years ago) link

yeah i have been putting off the vacuum purchase bc they are so $$$$$$ but now i feel like i can not wait any longer.

te,he (tehresa), Saturday, 11 July 2009 20:33 (fourteen years ago) link

yay! he already said i can have it! :))))))))))
