the air conditioner upstairs is starting to break. i can hear it wheezing. finally.

i'm trying to overload it.

it's literally 35 degrees out today - pre-humidity. i have the windows open. and i have the heat on - set to 28. it's actually on, too. i tried to turn it down, but i don't want to feel the slightest bit of refrigeration on my skin...i want to sit in my own sweat...

i don't think i'm being unreasonable. rather, i think there's absolutely no way to justify installing an air conditioner in your unit that affects the units around you. i don't care what he wants it set at; i don't want to know it exists. if it's 35 degrees outside, and the air conditioner is preventing it from being 35 degrees inside, i feel i have every right to set the heat to 35 degrees - and that the guy running the air conditioner is liable for the costs of returning the air in my room to ambient conditions.

i mean, ideally, i'd just open the window and let the heat come up and down with the temperature outside. yes - i really do want it to be 35 degrees in here. we only get a few weeks a year of nice, hot, humid weather like this. i'm not about to let him suck all the heat out of here.

he's going to wake up to a really nasty hydro bill. but, he earned it. i only wish that i could see his face.
