Heat & Air

After 22+ days of living here, I had an hour of drama and composed a rather lengthy email and sent it to the manager of the property. I explained to him that plugging and unplugging the air conditioner* was not my idea of having air, and that I really wanted heat when the weather changed. I then went ahead and complained because on the few days the weather was nice and I didn't need the air, my windows don't have screens and then for good measure I mentioned the missing knob off the stove top - knowing good and well I could live here a lifetime and never need all four eyes on the stove.

I did try to call one last time to make my complaint before sending the email, but Sara, the nice lady I've talked to before, wasn't there. So I went drama-email. And I have a response from the manager who said that today I will have air & heat, screens, a knob and since I had previously mentioned to Sara that the apartment wasn't clean, would I like a complimentary cleaning service.

Thank goodness - finally. I mean, they did give me a small break in rent for next month, but you know, I can pay my rent. I just can't manage the air temperature with my psychic and telekinetic abilities.

Last night, my gal G, super-lesbian-extraordinaire, came over and we hunt some different curtain rods and things. Just little touches. I have this belief that if I hang the curtain rods, then I'll get the window treatments. And in the meantime, I can use some curtains I already had to just sort of add some privacy. Truth is, I lived at the last apartment for a couple of years with one rod I hung above the living room window, and never put anything on it except some wind chimes. Oh well.

Have a good day.
