More apartment fun.
Jan. 3rd, 2003 10:03 amI don't really ask for that much in an apartment. Warm. Dry. Not full of lethal gasses.
The central heating's been out maybe 10 days of the two months I've lived here so far. They did finally fix the leak in the roof. This morning, I woke up about 6am and smelled gas. Went to the kitchen, where it was even stronger, opened the windows, then tried to re-light the pilot lights (there's five of them, and they're constantly going out) before realizing that they're all out and not getting any gas. Yep, the pipe going into the stove is cracked. Joy. Went downstairs, turned off the gas, called PG&E. Four hours later, they're still not there. So I came across the street to the cybercafe here and am watching out the window for the PG&E van to hopefully show up at some point. They said they'd call me before they got there, but I don't believe them...
