Venting a little excess heat

Disclaimer: I'm going to go ahead and say that this post is a tad bit bratty. Please forgive me, I need to vent.

Green Sleeves was steadily gaining speed. I had collected start up inventory, a website, and my mom began working on the logo. However, it seems that my progress has been halted. I am ready to move forward but unfortunately Salt Lake City isn't ready for me.

My problem: I can't secure a location. It's not that I don't have a place in mind, in fact that might be precisely the problem, I have the exact place in mind. There is even an opening in my dream location but so far there is no confirmation on whether or not I can get into the space. It has been upwards of a month now, and Green Sleeves is still homeless.

My major frustration is with the Broker, who promised to update me daily. I haven't heard from him in a week and whenever I call him, it's the same story.

"Blah blah because of this blah this and this
have to wait until next week blah blah blah
nothing new blah blah not this week blah."

All I want is a definitive answer, yes or no. He gives me hope one day and then shuts it down the next. I almost gave up altogether when he told me that the larger space that I was initially led to believe was open was actually not and the smaller one next to it was. Ugh!

I suppose I could look elsewhere but I don't want elsewhere, I want there. There is perfect. It's an up and coming urban mecca with kitschy shops and a record store. I can't imagine anywhere better. As I told the broker during our first conversation, the moment I thought up my business I knew I wanted it to be there. I can't stop daydreaming about painting the walls and decorating making it my own, making it Green Sleeves.
