I am looking forward to an excrutiatingliy boring morning of doing nothing around the house while waiting on the arrival of the A/C repair person. When it comes to repair people, I think we have a very Swiss mentality (you know, an entire country with grocery stores that are open only n the middle of the day). There is a fundamental assumption that I can sit at home all day waiting for a call just to schedule me to sit home all day a second time. I mean, what else would I have to do? Work is SO last year. This holds true for house repairs, deliveries, cable and phone installations.
A/C Update: Its fixed. It took 20 minutes to fix the bad motor. It took another 2 hours to clean out all the oil and goop that was in the system running up my electrical bills since they last fixed the A/C. The good news is that yet again my home warranty paid off. $300 warranty for $500 in repairs. Last year it was $1500 in repairs paid for by the warranty. Life without A/C sucks. I don't know how the southern half of the U.S. could stay populated with these temperatures and no A/C.
