Progress, or so I thought

This whole credit thing is becoming one big pain in my a@@.  I have to go sign a lease tomorrow but apparently they'll only take a bank check for the deposit and first months rent.  Unfortunately, I don't have that kind of money in a local account and the plan was to handle all payments through wire transfers (after all who wants to deal with actual checks anymore, especially half way across the world)?  So, I spent the afternoon going from bank to bank to bank trying to find anyone who will give me access to enough credit for one week to get a bank check.  After all, I need to be out of my current apartment by Sunday and have furniture being delivered on Saturday.  It's a good thing I can laugh about these things or else this would be pretty stressful.
