"Everyone rises to their level of incompetence."

unfortunately, the blog title and the following blog prove each other.....



well, the the moron repair guy is finally at our house. after nearly 6 days of internal temps at or below 60F, our furnace is allegedly fixed. the guy says that the pump is smaller and better and all i hear is "blah blah blah i'm a lazy dolt". i have no faith in anything he says, but am hopeful that we'll have heat for our first christmas together. we've really been looking forward to christmas this year and it'll be that much more pleasant if my toes don't feel like they're going to fall off.


i'm pretty upset about this whole situation and as such, probably won't be renewing our lease come August. we're kind of stuck until then (granted, we do have good reason to up and move out, but todd isn't really having that right now. he's got enough stress going on without me draggin him from house to house to house, even though i really want to). i hate moving, but this house has been too much for me to deal with and i've only lived there for 2 months.

our landlord was supposed to meet todd at our house this afternoon to make sure that the fix-it guy was there, doing his job. she hasn't showed up yet. at some point, she is going to have to realize that todd and i will not be paying for the four days we were out of heat...for those of you that don't live in colorado, the high over the weekend was hovering around the 20F mark. that's flipping frigid and warrants having a house warmer than 57F. apparently in the city/county of denver, if a furnace isn't fixed within the first 24hours of it being broken the landlords are required to put you up in a hotel. that never happened and last night todd had to turn off the heat, gas, etc. etc. to stop the excessive leaking from the furnace so there was no taking a shower for either of us this morning. gross and a half.

i'm already looking forward to august and moving into an apartment with brand new everything. i can't really handle much more of this crap.
