so, i found a facebook page linking to a company that bought this building in 2009, but that company no longer exists. it appears to have been shut down by the ontario government in 2013 for a securities violation. the building appears to have been managed by the management company with the human rights violations around 2011, when there was a fire in the basement. i have no further relevant information.

i'd be willing to accept the idea that it's just a holding company for a local person, but she said that the company is in british columbia, indicating they own multiple properties. you would expect a website...

the address on the form is occupied by somebody with the same name as the person that signed the check. but, some further sleuthing from local obituaries suggests that this person is quite a bit older than the person i met.

i could always call that number and see if it rings to the same person. but, this cell # is consistent and should be sufficient in identifying the person i signed the lease with, if i have to do that.

there is also a new unit for rent at that address with the same number - which could just as easily mean that the two buildings are owned by the same company and they have a common landlord as it could mean anything else.

i need to have this check cleared by friday. if it's not, i have to file on monday. and, i could very well call the number from a pay phone.

ugh.

well, this is life, for me. it's always been life, for me. it's just one absurd tragedy after another. but, this really seems strangely orchestrated.

i'm fully expecting to have to cause problems at odsp in the morning.

i also have to mail the oesp form...

but, i'm going to get something to eat and at least finish the last aleph, first. i'll give the office a call around 9:00 and go from there.
