Heater

So the specialist guy turned up today - I got annoyed because when he called to say he was there I asked if I should go down and let him in he said no, he'd be right up. Five minutes later he calls again so I say I'll go let him in, go get my shoes, and as I'm opening my door I see him walking in. Turns out he was trying to buzz himself in with the speaker system that's set up at the front gate and doesn't work since there's no connection to any of the apartments.

So he finally gets up here and it took him about five minutes to dust off his hands and say, "This heater is completely broken and out of date, you should have it replaced."
I thanked him and he said he'd contact my manager and he left.

Today at 7:50 pm there was a knock on my door and when I opened it an old man with enough bushy hair for a lion's mane was standing there. I immediately wondered if he were some sort of Latter Day Saint trying to convert me, but it turns out the management asked him to check my heater. After one glance he assured me he could recondition it - he's done it before - and would 6:30 pm tomorrow be convenient for him to come and fix it? Apparently it will take 2 hours...I hate the idea of having someone come work in the hours I usually eat and nap in, but I want to be warm, so I said that would be great.

I know I should be grateful that this man is willing to work so late and on such short notice, but I've been grumpy and miserable lately. Maybe being warm will help with that.
