it's in the 40s in my house. I am having so much trouble staying awake. I can't do anything.

Posted by mandy cane (aka amanda) Dec 29 '11, 13:08

I'm supposed to get heat back tonight. we'll see. I was supposed to get it this morning but my landlord was all like, "I need a part." (which part? fire or air, karl??)

yeah I'm not bitter my whole break has been couchsurfing and almost freezing to death.

(it's not the worst, I know. but man, I have things to do.)

Do you have hot water? Buy an electric blanket and take the cost off the rent. -- nm - lileve Dec 29, 13:21
Don't worry, that's just the carbon monoxide from the broken furnace, that's completely normal. -- nm - Ender Dec 29, 13:15 1

I hope you're not expecting to have to pay rent while your house has been unihabitable. -- nm - znufrii Dec 29, 13:10 11
- I was only gone two nights. shit happens. it's not karl's fault. -- nm - mandy cane Dec 29, 13:14 10
  - ah, misunderstood what you meant by the "whole break" time frame you referenced. - znufrii Dec 29, 13:18 9
    - I lost heat 12/25. so I was gone 12/26 and 12/27 nights. last night I froze here. I'm not leaving again. - mandy cane Dec 29, 13:19 8
      - This sucks. Have your pipes frozen? I'd hate to say it could get worse. Seriously, what's taking this guy so long to fix this. It is fair for you - pmb Dec 29, 14:06 3

        I'm pinking up nicely. I can already smelled the charred dust in my baseboards. thanks for letting me bitch, guys. -- nm - mandy cane Dec 29, 15:49
        
        Turn on your water taps to see if you have any flow? if so then leave it dripping as that will prevent ice pressure from breaking a pipe -- nm - Blanc de Noirs methode zeitgeist Dec 29, 15:29
      - this makes me sad. - Diva Dec 29, 13:27
      - yeah, that still sucks. -- nm - znufrii Dec 29, 13:24
      - that's just dickfuck timing. who's going to fix heat on Christmas? - TFox, Vamp Champ Dec 29, 13:20 1
        
        doesn't "dickfuck" go hand in ha...nevermind. -- nm - Mel Profit Dec 29, 13:53
that *blows*. -- nm - TFox, Vamp Champ Dec 29, 13:09 11
- it's not the worst. I mean, I'm alive and healthy and stuff. the only really crap part is how *tired* I am - mandy cane Dec 29, 13:13 10
  - i know. it's just an unpleasant feeling when your home is not homey. - TFox, Vamp Champ Dec 29, 13:17
  - Ask to be comp'd for a hotel room. That's what I would ask for and would probably offer if I was asked. -- nm - lileve Dec 29, 13:14 8
    - I have hotel points I could burn. I want my damn tivo, though, and competent wireless. and I want to wear what I want to wear *today*, - mandy cane Dec 29, 13:16 7
      - You're not being bitchy, it's completely understandable. -- nm - lileve Dec 29, 13:18
      - you know things aren't right when you're saying "well, the tv throws heat..." -- nm - Max Dec 29, 13:18 5
