So the last blog's theme was power outage. Today it was my water being off. I always feel the need to blog when I lose one of my utilities, apparently.
The "landlord" didn't pay the water bill, the landlord being a property management company. I got a letter saying "We're no longer managing your property effective today" and the next day the water gets cut off. HA! Fuck you very much! Tried to call the owner and his wife hung up on me. The woman at Water Works called her and got better results (on speaker phone, and she sounded a little embarrassed, a little nervous and very willing to help).
So I got my water back. More importantly, I finally figured out that it's not nearly as effective to get pissed off and call the person you are pissed off at and let them know how pissed off you are as it is to calmly tell your story to someone who has the other person firmly by the balls. |
