homeowning is overrated.

at the end of what could not have possibly been a more trying and difficult day that seemed to go on forevvvveeerrrr, i finally made it home last night to find:

(a) no heat (and a welcoming 53 degrees throughout the house)
(b) no electricity on the 3rd floor (which is where the bedrooms and bathroom are)
(c) a toilet which refused to do anything but overflow

so what does one do in this predicament?

dump it on someone else. because it just a'int my problem. i mean yes, freezing my butt off and not being able to pee in my own toilet is most definitely my problem, but that's what the emergency beeper is for.

i have never been so glad to have tipped the superintendent a c-note over the holidays. he was here with the trusty toilet snake and an electrician in a matter of minutes.

God bless the ability to RENT.
