As they had agree to pro-rate rent at one point, and I was trying to figure out how to make it to title company on new closing date (maybe see if title company will open 30 mins later or see if my other pharmacist can come in to cover me so I can leave a little earlier...as vaca window for Oct 1th is closed already).
