I was told there would be no take over.<br>Even so, I\u2019m willing to compromise, so I hope you can lower the price as a way of meeting halfway.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After exchanging several messages, the previous tenant came to my room in person.<br>He apologized sincerely and offered to sell the Wi-Fi booster and cable for $60.<br>I felt good about his apology and offer, so I decided to accept it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Saving $20 might seem like a small thing.<br>But for me, today\u2019s negotiation was a big experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I was able to express my feelings without becoming emotional, and without suppressing myself too much either.<br>And we were able to reach a solution that felt fair to both sides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even though I felt frustrated and it was a tough day,<br>I\u2019m satisfied with how I handled it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\">\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>P.S.<\/strong><br>While carrying my suitcase during the move, I twisted my back a little and hurt it.<br>Everyone, please be careful when moving heavy things!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>COOP-Day 29 Today was a tough day- but also a day where I feel I did my best.I want to write it down so I don\u2019 &#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":855,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[260,8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-884","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-canada","category-life","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mute333.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/884","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mute333.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mute333.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mute333.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mute333.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=884"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mute333.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/884\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":885,"href":"https:\/\/mute333.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/884\/revisions\/885"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mute333.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/855"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mute333.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=884"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mute333.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=884"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mute333.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=884"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
