The heat in my apartment has been erratic, at best, since management saw fit to install new thermostats a couple of months ago. It isn't working at all right now; I have it set for 75 degrees, which is as high as it will go (the old thermostats went higher), but the thermometer says the temperature is only 70. It's dropping, too; an hour or so ago it said 71 degrees. Over the past several weeks I've periodically had to heat my apartment with the stove. It's not just me, either; I've heard similar complaints from some of the other residents. I'm calling the Housing Authority about this on Monday, and I'll be calling everybody else I can think of as well. Monday will also mark the 2-week anniversary of when I called management to let them know that the front door is broken again. Nothing has been done about it. The door lock keeps getting broken because stupid people live here; they forget their keys or lose them, and some want to make sure that their nonresident friends can come and go as they please. Turns out that two other entrances have busted locking mechanisms as well. Hey, can't leave the local thugs out in the cold, right? Yeah, not that it's all that warm in here.
Any wonder the rent here is fairly cheap. This used to be a nice place to live but thanks to a lazy, useless maintainance guy and an uncaring management company, not to mention a number of brainless and inconsiderate residents, this building has become a sad joke. I think it's time for me to start hunting for a new place to live. I may not be much but I deserve better than this. Enough is enough.

Wow, that's rough. I hope you can find a better place to live without too much trouble. Oh, and I'm definitely not a morning person either. Until noon I'm usually a zombie and just grunt at people.
As for something else that I really hate...how about HOLIDAY TRAFFIC!
Now I do my best to get into the "Christmas Spirit" this time of year, and fortunately we don't do a whole lot of shopping, since it's just for me, my parents, and a few of my close friends. It's never overly complicated and we always manage to get all or most of it done well in advance.
But even a few weeks before Christmas, the traffic sure as heck still isn't any fun! I try to do as little driving as possible this time of year, but I still made a visit to my friend's house a few days ago to bring him his Christmas present and to take care of a few things at my College. And I almost got hit on the way there!
Now to be fair, it was technically my fault. I had been waiting to make my turn for several minutes and my College was closing soon, and the traffic wasn't letting up, so I blindly made my move and almost ended up regretting it. But we both made it out unharmed and otherwise the trip went pretty well.
But this kind of thing makes me feel really fortunate that I live in a relatively small city (250-300K pop.) and I would hate to see what it was in the bigger places. But I'm pretty much done with shopping and don't really have anymore reason to go anywhere until the holiday rush dies down, which makes me very happy and relieved. |
