Housing Vent

I remember when Mike and Kari were looking to purchase a home and all of the stress and headache they had. Why should we be so lucky to circumvent these problems? Well, we're not. However, my major qualm right now is not with the home purchasing loops, but the Weber Housing Down payment Grant. It has taken a great deal to pull all of the paperwork needed for this silly grant together. Then yesterday I got a call from the Weber Housing Office telling me that I forgot to sign something. First thought was - Impossible. I went through this application several times. Well they were insistent, that I come sign something. I didn't have a car yesterday so I couldn't anyway. Today, I called back and begged the representative to please just double check the application to make sure it really needs to be signed. I wouldn't make such fuss over it, but this place is twenty minutes away, and I'd have to take the kids, so I wanted to make sure the trip wasn't going to be a waste. Well, he looked at the application again and . . . it doesn't have to be signed. Sigh of relief, right? WRONG. My name isn't printed next to the signature. First thought - you have got to be kidding me? Then I realize that they want me to come down and print in my own name. They can't print it in for me, even if I tell them that it is o.k. AGGGHHHH!!! Does anyone out there know if it is illegal or not to print a name. Signing I can understand - but printing, seems a little silly. Anyhow, this is my current housing frustration. But I guess it will be worth it if we get the grant.
