Put in 13 hours today at work. I get home, A/C busted. Hit a high around 106 today. Currently reads 86 in the apartment. Gonna be a crappy night of sleep. Maybe I should get a hotel room.

i went to college at uc davis up near sacramento and it hit 110ish there a lot in teh summers. we were too broke to use AC so wed go hang out at the grocery store for a while.

i feel your pain

does the ruck have AC? maybe you can hang out in there
 
so long as I don't have to do anything or wear much I love the heat.... the instant I have to suit up.. bah.... but Nothing beats lazing around the house during extreme heat in nothing but your undies watching 5 days of test match cricket.
 
Speaking of Wal Mart...
You could probably find a small window-type A/C for like $ 79.99
Works fine for a bedroom, close the doors and chill out! ;)

+1 Best $80 you could spend.

I had to do that recently...until I came up w/$5k to replace the whole system...no new gear for me for awhile!
 
Get call from maintenance guy: "We subcontract out. The subcontractor will be calling you."

Subcontractor: "I need to set up a time to come out to fix your a/c."

Me: "I can't make it. Please contact maintenance to be let in."

Subcontractor: "No problem."

Come home to 90 degree apartment again. I called the emergency maintenance number and I'm told: "I'll see what I can do in the morning."

And I'm supposed to sign a new lease before the end of the month. Looks like I'll be lookin' elsewhere.

:mad:
 
Man, the real heat hasn't even hit us yet ya wimp...only hit 110 today...quityerbitchin and go crash on NorM's couch.
 
Talked to the property manager. She was shocked. I was told that it would be worked on today. If I don't have working a/c when I get home tonight I'm exercising some ARS's. Arizona has a nice Renter's Bill of Rights.
