what a pointless day i had. i called the heater guy yesterday, and they told me to call after eight today to find out when the guy might come. so i wake up early on my day off, and they tell me he'll show up between 10 and 2. ha. i called back at 1:50 after hearing nothing, and they moved the times from 2-5. delays from the cold. so he shows up around 3:50.
a/c is working fine, the drain is dirty and clogged, and he refilled the freon. heater? apparently it's not his problem, because my heater runs on water. last year when i got a new hot water heater, they failed to connect the pipe to the heater.
i call the plumber around five, and they tell me he'll show up between 6 and 8. he actually comes a little before six, a miracle! he takes a look at my water heater and doesn't know what he's looking at, so we had to find a neighbor and take a look at theirs. he calls the guy who had installed my water heater and dude says he didn't take out any circulation pump and that it's not their fault my heater's been broken ever since they installed my new hot water heater. i call bullshit, but they're not going to side with me. it's going to be another grand to get my heat running.
so now i'm freezing and i have to go to work late tomorrow, all because of someone else's problem a year ago. i didn't get anything else done that i needed to, and my next day off is christmas. and then new year's eve. and those are already accounted for, so realistically i don't have a day off until next year.
and i bit my lip HARD twice, and now i'll have a gnarly canker sore to accompany the other two i already have. woo! but whatever, the next five days will just be hell, as will the week after christmas. and then it's new years, and then it's 2007, and then my life will become a fucking mess that i'll deal with when i get there....
i can't wait. seriously.
