AHh.. it's the third day of my "vacation." Jason and I spent the last two days at work.. Him having regular days, and me getting to come in with Jason. No waking at 6am! Yay!
But, today Jason's at work, and I'm at home.
We had someone come in to look at our heater. The pilot light keeps going out. The heater never stays on very long. The guy left to go get a new thermostat for us around 11:10 or something, and 10 minutes after he left the heater turned off. It doesn't feel very warm in here.. I just went and checked it. The pilot is out! I repeat the pilot is out!
I wish I looked at the time when he left.. I'll just say it was 10 minutes. Maybe he looked at the time. I looked at my watch when the heater stopped. 11:21am Wait! I called Jason right after dude left. My cell log says I called at 11:10am. So, yeah, the heater went off 10 minutes after the guy left. How nice.. At least I have some what documented time. And I told him that I wanted to be in here when someone came in. So he's going to call when he has the thermostat.
And! He said he'd tell the regular maintenance guy that we need a new kitchen faucet. I'm excited! It's been leaking since about a month or two after we moved in. Jason said it's probably really simple, but we never got around to looking at it. Didn't even get around to telling them something was wrong. =o\ Which is our fault. But.. they know now! And I told them about the water damage already being there.
I hate that they can just walk in at any moment. I wonder if we can get someone over to change the bolt lock.. Is that even legal? I dunno.
So.. the first time the pilot went out, we didn't call for a while, and eventually got tired of not having heat in this cold weather. So, I called asking if I could get a call about how to turn on the pilot light. A day goes by or so, and we wake up to hear someone knocking on our door. Jason went to look, and no one was around. *Shrug* Then, about 5-10 minutes later, we hear another knock and as we're going over to the door, we hear a key in the lock!
Jason ran over to tell the guy to give us a minute to get clothes on (this was Christmas Eve at around 10am).
He comes in.. said that our apartment manager called us already, left a message. After he lit the pilot, I checked my phone. We did get a call from our apartment manager. At 9:49am she left a message asking us to contact her, she'd be in the office until noon, for the guy to come over and re-light it for us. I believe the guy was saying something about he decided to just come in because it was a heating matter, and wouldn't it be nice to have it working when we got home or something?
Ahh.. no. It would be nicer if you got our permission before entering our home.
So, after that, I went down to the office and asked our apartment manager to please get contact with us before sending someone into our apartment un-announced. The end of the conversation was naturally happening when said maintenance guy came walking into the office. *blush* That sucked. He was a really nice guy. Just don't come in without our permission!!
So, the guy is back. He came in around noon. (5 minutes ago) He's replacing the thermostat right now, and then is going to take out the heating unit, clean it in the workshop, replace the thermo coupler and then put it back. And I think he's going to get the regular maintenance guy to replace the filter. Sweet! It looks nasty, all dusty.

Ahh.. anyways. I'm gonna go. I should be doing stuff.. that's not ..this.
