This morning I called management yet again, and they said they'd send the chief of maintainance, whom I shall refer to here as "Kendell", to take a look at it. Much to my surprise, he showed up barely five minutes later, at 11:00 am. That was the high point of this little drama. He gave me some BS about the compressor needing time to warm up. No, Kendell, it takes no time, thank you. The he tries to tell me that it is in fact blowing cold air, at which point I explained to him the difference between actual cold air and a breeze. He then falls back on the bit about compressor warm-up time, and says let it run, he'll check back after lunch, which upon inquiry I learned was 1:00 pm. He did not show up. At 2:00 pm I went to check the mail and I ran into the lazy slug, and he said he'd be right over. That was the last time I saw the SOB. I called management shortly before 4:00 pm, only to get their answering service. The upshot of all this is that no action will be taken regarding my air conditioner until at least Monday, and the weekend is forecast to be hot.
I trust you will all understand that I have nothing but murder on my mind right now. :terrence:

I would kill as well... I absolutely HATE whenever people give me the runaround like that, and in your case, time is of the essence so it's even worse. Ugh...
Somehow, this reminds me of the fiasco I had a little over a year ago with my senior prom. I wanted to go all-out old-timey and I even got online to order an amazing Victorian court dress to wear. I ordered it from the UK, so I expected a little more shipping time since it was coming a long way to Oklahoma. I gave it about 3 weeks, still with no contact from the Web site and no dress... a few more days passed, and finally I e-mailed the webmaster. She said, "Oh, I'm sorry, we lost your order a few weeks ago." I was already miffed that NOBODY contacted me, not to mention the prom was coming up and I had no dress. That's why I put my freaking phone number on the order... SO THEY CAN CONTACT ME! Anyhow, I re-ordered the dress, but it turns out since they lost my order for a medium, someone ELSE was able to place an order for a medium, and they got the medium dress even though I was first and the site just lost my order!!!! I measured myself, and decided that a small would work out ok, it would just not fit as freely as I wanted the medium to. I got the dress a WEEK before the prom, and I was so happy. I took it out of the box, and I was horrified to see the freaking SEAMS in the corset part of the dress were torn and full of holes!! It looked like a girl who was WAY bigger than the dress had tried it on before me! I was livid, needless to say... Anyhow, my mom helped me stitch it up as best as we could, but the seams were still a little weak. The dress fit OK, but since it was not the size I ordered, it was a little tight. I didn't want to put any stress on the already weak seams, so I duct taped my midsection to be uncomfortably tiny, and had the most uncomfortable prom ever.
Now for the shoes...
For a dress like that, I needed special shoes. I ordered the shoes online, I GOT the shoes... kind of. The company at least sent them. My mom got a call from one of her friends that said he had found my shoes opened and on the table at the post office! The post office put the key to them in the wrong mailbox!! I was angry also with whoever got them first... they weren't addressed to them, so WHY the heck did they open them? They apparently tried them on, too, because there were scuffs all over them! Luckily my mom's friend found them when he did, because they were just open on the table for the stealing!
Grrrr.... incompetent people. :terrence:
