welcome to the weekly how's your week going thread

this thread is a pretty straightforward and relaxed one for giving updates on how your week is going and chat like that. nothing special

on my front: last week was total chaos, so hoping for things to calm down this week because it is completely fucking up my groove; unfortunately reddit is not making that easy. this is also not ideally timed for my emotional state. anyways, read book 20 for the year (America City by Chris Beckett). on book 21. maybe i'll marathon through a bunch of these in between keeping the site from being on fire

A year?!

Reminds me of back in April 2021 when the building's chiller unit died. So no AC. It was unseasonably hot during that time, peaking into the upper 80s/low 90s F (~30-33C). Overnight, the temps were still pretty elevated, especially since this was in the middle of the city, which meant lots of heat radiating off the streets, buildings, etc.

It took the apartment managers like 4 weeks to get it fixed. People were starting organize protests. Our apartments ended up on the news.

They did buy me a portable AC though. And they gave my brother and I like half off rent for the month. Still sucked. Thank god I don't live there anymore, since that wasn't the only issue we experienced.

Hopefully you were able or will be able to wring some concessions out of them for them waiting a whole ass year!

haha, no. what we we gonna do, move? there's no housing around here that's affordable, and we barely afford this place as is. we did get a new dishwasher, but that was incidental and also a thing they broke and didn't fix for like six months.
