So here’s the story.

I have a friend (not a super close friend), whom we will call “Bruce”, even though she’s a girl.

She is in the States from Australia, and heading back home.

Beginning of July, she emailed me asking if she could stay with me “for about a week or so” until she went back to Australia, because her lease was up and she had nowhere to stay.

I agreed, because people have helped me in the past, so I figure what goes around comes around. It’s always been how I think about these things.

Well, after about a week, I asked her when she was going home. She said it would be “in a few days”.

That was two weeks ago.

Finally, today, I asked her what her plans were. Apparently there’s some screwup with her passport, but it’s “getting taken care of”, and “hopefully” she will be leaving on Wednesday, “maybe”.

I told her that she could stay until Wednesday, but if it wasn’t “taken care of”, she’d have to find someplace else to stay after then.

Am I a bad person?
