I guess the point I was making in throwing on that last bit was, even if there were a smidgeon of truth to that stereotype it would be appalling how gleefully people jump to agree, but it's not even remotely true.

Holy Bejesus! Our landlord actually came through this time! At 9:00 this morning, we got a brand new refrigerator! It's a hell of a lot smaller than our old one(which was smaller than the previous one, and also came dirty), but man it actually keeps food cold. Our ice cream is solid. Food put in the refrigerator this morning is cold when you take it out! My mind is blown. I forgot what is was like to have an actual working refrigerator.

That reminds me, I really really hope the Chicago Water Authority has its act together and isn't going to cut off my water in the middle of next week. They posted a notice on our door that the landlord needs to pay the water bill, but our landlord is pretty on the ball and I suspect this may be a case of the payment-collecting people not communicating effectively with the water-cutting-off people.

So right now I've got headphones on listening to loud music while I eat chips and watch Star Wars V: The Empire Strikes Back on mute on TV. I say the lines in my head as they come up. I don't think I've missed one yet.
yeah.

I worked at a utility company last summer, and the payment collecting people/water-cutting-off-people actually communicate very well. In my case, I sent out the final collection notices, checked the next day for payment, and if payment or arrangements to pay hadn't been posted I would then send out the order for disconnection. If that was the case, the customer still had the opportunity to make payment with the field guys (the dudes who cut off the power). It is probably a clerical error. Easily sorted out with a simple phone call.
