OK, do you remember a few days ago when I posted about my new, awesome apartment and how new and awesome it was?

See, that was called "counting my chickens, before they were hatched: Exhibit A."

Yeah, I didn't get the apartment. Why? Because I'm a fucking elementary school teacher and I don't get paid what I deserve, that's why.

I hate Craig's List, and I hate Nancy the real estate broker, and I hate being told I'm not good enough for nice places because I don't have enough money.

New York City real estate sucks.
