A Small Victory

Fun Fact: I’m moving to Los Angeles in less than a month.

Not So Fun Fact: Apartment hunting is both killing my sanity and inbox.

Apartment hunting while in another state is no longer a solitary act, at least not for me. I have my mom and a couple of friends sorting through Craigslist, Rent.com and Westside Rentals every day in search of my new home. Unfortunately this means that my inbox is full of orange labeled LA apartment emails.

Between the apartments and my cousin’s obsession with forwards all of my important emails get pushed to the bottom, or worse… the next page! Ahh!

Wouldn’t it be great if I could go to Craigslist or Westside Rentals and see the properties my friends chose as flagged or starred? Even a less subtle bright red circle with “THIS ONE” written above it would due.

My apartment is turning into one giant fort with all of the boxes. A less cluttered inbox would help soothe my nerves. A small victory.

One can dream right? :)
