Yes, I admit, I was stalking the unit from the cold, dark street with "Ain't No Sunshine" – Bill Withers playing in the background (my head)

Wow, that really bites. Did they email you? But you are still waitlisted for potentially another at the very least right?

I havent heard anything from BG since being waitlisted, but I thought I'd go and see if someone had been awarded the unit (in retrospect, bad idea)

So as far as I know, I am still on the waitlist, but that may not be for this time around, that may be after people move out-waitlist. I doubt Im bumping anyone this go around - similiar to Hunters Point South.

We can have that rooftop drink in 2020

How exactly did you find out? I totally get that but don’t lose hope, life sucks without it. I put it out in the universe about how much I want this but I’m also trying to be practical.

It might not be 250 Ashland but it will be another rooftop. If I don’t get this, I will definitely be rent poor because I will NOT have another roommate.

Oh Manner I’m sorry maybe you miscounted floors? (Wishful thinking) or you are going to be assigned a better unit with a better view.

LOL, I love it. I was stealthily perusing StreetEasy when my coworker walked over and said, "tomorrow is the day, I can feel it". That made me feel good so I'm going with that. BTW, I was just beginning to fight the anxiety that was beginning to creep in.
