Good luck today G-A-G, I hope it goes smoothly and you can get on with your life again.

Can I recommend that once she and all she owns have finally been removed from the house, you do a really thorough check for all the possible "revenges" she may have left - especially things like sardines (or similarly smelly things) left behind radiators, on top of curtain rails or under floorboards, nasty substances or glue smeared on backs of door handles, etc. (see hell treads passim for further ideas she may have had, if they are still around)

Actually, this is an off-shoot of some bad advice I remember from awhile back. Someone was getting ready to move out from a truly awful living situation and asked what revenge he could take on his ex-roommates. Those were some of the suggestions.

That's exactly the thread I was thinking of, but couldn't remember enough about it to find and link to it.

Well, following some weird passive aggressiveness this morning about her demanding to know how many movers were coming (We have no idea, nor do we actually care) and some arguing about a dish rack which 15 minutes later she "remembered" wasn't hers, the movers and Sherriff Faye have arrived. We're just awaiting one more sherriff, the Cambridge PD, and 10 a.m (eight minutes from now) and we're good to go!

2 pm here at eviction central, and the eviction is still going on (as I said before, she's got a LOT of crap, and not one piece of paper or anything else has been packed.).

The widely predicted freakstravaganza has not materialised, apart from this morning before the sherriff and movers came. Then she just kept going at Dawn, "thanking" her for the "free move" and saying how it was an odd gift for Dawn's friend (since Dawn had to borrow the money for this) to give her. I tried to stay out of it, as I have for 99% of this, but in the end I got really fed up after she'd been at this for half an hour with Dawn doing her diplomatic best to just sit there and say "yes, but he felt it was a worthwhile gift (it is a loan, in fact)." So in the end I spoke up and said:
"Yes, but it is all recoverable in small claims court."
She insisted it wasn't. I, ofcourse, had checked with the dean of my law school who happened to be my property law professor. It completely is. She argued with me for a bit about it, and I assured her it was pretty much a slam dunk, and that garnishment of wages would ensue, and 12% interest from date of judgement.

She told me I was wrong, and then when the sherriffs arrived she asked them if it was possible. They told her it was. She's trying to laugh it off, but now she's seen the bill for $3200 for the movers and storage (plus $300 for execution by the sherriffs, plus court fees, etc). Now, not so much. She drove the movers so crazy that they took her to the storage depot so that they'd stay mostly out of the way for a while. Now she's gone to get lunch. The mover is actually treating us to lunch (a cost now included in the $3200 charge, so in effect the SF is going to pay for our lunch.)

We have two sherriffs, at one point we had three. Since the SF is just being annoying and not belligerent, she has been allowed to stay around and supervise the process (although she drove the sherriffs a little nutty before they even arrived by calling them to ask for the movers number to find out how many movers there were coming. Who cares?) There's a little bit of supervision, but the movers are nice, the sherriffs are nice, and for the most part the sherriffs, Dawn and myself are sitting at the kitchen table drinking tea and generally having a good time,considering what's going on.

I admit, I'm glad she's going without the freakstravaganza, and I'm glad her last bit of passive aggression about the "free move" (and her annoyance that the storage place is out in Everett as it will be so annoying for her to get it out of there, and expensive. Sorry, we didn't get to choose. There are very few moving companies that actually DO evictions.) is now put in place and settled, but even more I'll be really glad when she's gone. The prediction is a couple more hours now.

You know, after the mover returns with our burritos!

Upon further reflection, I must say that my pot-shot at Rook was both lame and added nothing to the thread.

Apologies all around.

Well, it is now 7:15. And it is *over*. [Yipee] [Yipee] Finally. At long last. The movers left around six, and frankly there was increased worry all around that there was in fact going to be the final all out freakfest freakstravaganza, which of course no one wanted. The SF was alternating between being curled up in a fetal position on the couch, bossing the movers around, and answering everything in an extra forced and chirpy "see everything is fine here" tone that seriously had me worried. I honestly believe that contrary to what she said she has no where to stay this evening, and it is a nasty night outside. Her box of food (the movers couldn't take it, as food can attract pests) was stored with the neighbours downstairs, who have put it in our joint basement. She says she's coming back for it in three days, as she's found a place to move into on Saturday. Seeing as she was phoning around to look at places last night at 10pm, I doubt this is true as well. As an act of compassion, Dawn phoned her brother (who paid her rent on a number of occasions) and informed him of what happened. He said he hadn't heard anything about this and asked when the eviction was going to happen, so we told him it just had. He was going to call her mobile phone, so hopefully he can be a resource for her. There really isn't anything else we can do.

Then we grabbed the NZ book of common prayer and went through each room in the house, reading the blessings and the lessons as appropriate to make this a house of peace, restfulness and respite. And THEN, bowing to both the cleansing, fung shui and other rituals, we wiped down all the walls with vinegar to purify, lit pure beeswax candles, vaccuumed like you couldn't believe, and lit sage, rosemary and cedar smudge sticks, praying our best for the house, for peace and indeed even for Rachel.

We're exhausted. It was an amazingly draining experience, and that was with the fact that we were blessed with the best sherriffs and movers possible for the job. Letters of praise will be written all around. The lady sherriff let the SF know she was on a short leash as far as the bossiness, etc was concerned, and as the stall tactics kicked in as the move came to an end, she was known to utter more than once "keep her moving, keep her moving."

I'm so happy it is all over, although we can't quite shake the feeling that she's coming back somehow. That will pass. I've already moved my stuff into the study area, which is actually a really great space, as it turns out. Happiness and cheeriness will follow. Amen.

I know this is un-Hellish, but it might be nice, as this thread is likely to close soon, to offer prayers: - for the now ex-roommate, that she may learn what she needs to know, so that she may get her life in order; and for our Shipmate and her housemates, (who I think, setting aside the banter in this thread, have in fact, thought carefully about the choices they've made in acting on this situation), that they may be freed from rancor, and able to go forward in peace.

Spread out. Fill the space with your stuff, with light and music and yourselves. Don't leave a vacuum.

quote:
(Matthew 12:43-45, NKJV)

"When an unclean spirit goes out of a man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest, and finds none.

Then he says, "I will return to my house from which I came." And when he comes, he finds it empty, swept, and put in order.

Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter and dwell there; and the last state of that man is worse than the first...

So far, in this Hell thread, there's been a purification ritual and prayer and Scripture quoted.

Can we get some hymns sung and have Communion? Hell could get to be the new, edgy CoF.

It is completely weird how she'd taken over our lives and we hadn't realized how much. I was starting to get tense on the T as I was going home, but then I realized she wouldn't be there, and waves of relief keep flooding over me. Anyway, apart from the debt collection litigation (and the sherriffs were even giving us advice on how best to do that, as they're pretty expert), she is gone, we are COMPLETELY moving everything around and she will be relegated to stories over a beer, so I think it is time to ask this thread to be closed, please, hostly people.

As soon as I saw it opened with "hold steel dagger" I knew we wouldn't be able to do it. Where the heck am I supposed to get ahold of one of those? My restraining order says "no weapons." [Biased]

I think that single sentence was asking for this thread to be closed. Request granted.
