delightful abode
i am so sick of slumlord apartment life. not only do my upstairs neighbours continue to be enormously loud all the time; my landlord has obviously decided that now that spring is here, shutting off the building furnace is a good idea. just because we have a couple of days above 0º celsius, does not mean that it is warm enough to turn the heat off completely. so now it's 16º celsius in my apartment and going down. i know enough from previous experience that calling the super will do little more than get me more agitated. i might as well put on a few extra layers and hope it heats up outside pretty quick. of course, the forecast calls for snow in the next couple of days, so that's not likely to happen.
edit 17:04 - i just called my super and told him there was no heat in the building. either he didn't know or was feigning ignorance. he asked if i was cold, and made some comment about how it was nice out or something like that. no, see i just like phoning him for the pure enjoyment of it! of course i'm fucking cold if i called to complain about it! otherwise i wouldn't be calling! FUCK. he said he'll see what he can do for tomorrow morning (yeah, i'm not holding my breath). sigh.
update 18:50 - had to call the super again; a pipe is dripping water very fast down onto my kitchen counter. ichy rusty looking dirty water. it's related to the heating issue apparently. so now i'm waiting for the heating repair person to call me and come over and fix it (hopefully). ahh, fond memories of february.
update 20:41 - the heat is back on, yay! however, though the dripping pipe has stopped dripping, the repair guy indicated that it is a plumbing issue stemming from the kitchen above mine, and now a plumber is on the way over to check it out.
