Reason #1 Redux

Okay, so here we are sweating our asses through the hottest week this area has known in a decade--under an extreme heat advisory--and our AC breaks down. Again. Yeah, I know you've heard a lot about this over the past five years, but now it's really serious. The unit is making all kinds of banging-clicking noises and it's standing in about an inch of water.

SOMEBODY PLEASE TELL ME WHY WE'VE BEEN PAYING SO MUCH G.D. RENT TO LIVE HERE, AND HOW THEY HAD THE NUTS TO RAISE THE RENT TO AN AMOUNT THAT CAUSED US TO HAVE TO MOVE!


Seriously, this is a nice house. In California, it would be a $500k-$800k home. It's big, stylish, modern -- the kind of house you see in gated communities. THINGS ARE SUPPOSED TO WORK. I can't believe that the suckers people who are moving in after us are going to be paying $150 more a month than what we're paying. Good luck!

I called the maintenance guy yet again (we're on a first name basis now) and someone will be out to look at the problem LATER THIS AFTERNOON. Meanwhile, it's 93° and climbing, and this beast of an AC is raising our utility bill and giving us nothing in return.

I've had it.

  1. How dreadful!

    Do you have any Starbucks or such near you, where you can camp out until the air conditioner works again?

  2. If you want, when I come home for lunch I can take you over to Hastings. You can sit there in the AC until I can pick you up after work.

    This is a bunch of crap!

  3. Fortunately, There's a big, top-notch ceiling fan right over my head. If I stay in this chair it's not so bad. Besides, I have to be here when the repair man arrives.

  4. If there are that many problems and they are raising rent you are doing a good job by getting out.
