So not only did I finally have a job, I was excited to have it and if I had lived my life the last few years like a properly functioning adult, it would be a simple matter to get ready for living on Earth E for the next five years.
Sadly, that wasn't how I had lived. I'd gotten totally lazy about keeping up with the chaos that I had let into my life that the actual state of my apartment was so bad that I didn't want anyone to be inside it.
And my comfort inside this chaos was only the case because I was that lazy that I couldn't work up the care to change it
All this to say that I knew that I needed to combat it myself because I couldn't bear the embarrassment of letting someone know that I had lived like this for any length of time.
Of course, the building's custodian and some firefighters checking for detectors had too and that hadn't bothered me.
So it was only the cost that kept me from getting the help that I needed
And with the job waiting me on Earth E and they're paying me what they were paying me, I could afford the help to make this place stop looking like the hellscape that I had made it into.
“Wow, I've never seen anyone let their place actually get this bad without suffering from some kind of condition Perry.” She said, as if she couldn't keep the words from falling out of her mouth. “Though maybe your condition is simply undiagnosed.” She continued, saying more words that she couldn't seem to help from saying to me.
I couldn't exactly blame her for saying what she'd said, because I myself referred to it a hellscape, because that was what it was. But it still hurt to hear her say such things because she was beyond cute, she was the first woman in months that I had more than a passing interest in and how could she ever find me sexy now after seeing how I lived? Simply put, I couldn't. “Well Diane, I warned you that I had let it go.” I said with a sigh.
