Here I am, sitting in my basement apartment with the weather outside at -14(-21 windchill) all bundled up. Why? because the furnace has been out since possibly yesterday.
I didn't notice that much this morning, because my apartment is always cold. It's a basement of a townhouse, not much to do there. But apparently the furnace wasn't working, and the other tenants called the landlords. Who called me, 'cause the furnace is in my apartment. I told them I was at work, so give the guy a key and he can go in without me.
4:30pm, I get a call from the furnace guy wanting to know when I'll be in so he can check on the furnace.
7:00pm, he shows up and finds the problem. But it needs a part he doesn't have. He'll be back tomorrow. With a key.
yay.
On the nice side, the landlords called to make sure I had a space heater so I wouldn't freeze to death while I slept.
Space heaters? Yeah. I have four. And they're ALL on. As usual.
Also, my computer has been acting up, and I honestly think it's a combination of the age of some of the parts, and the sheer fucking, toe numbing COLD.
Fortunately, utilities are included in my rent.
