excerpts from an IM with Kristi

k – we have no power
j- good thing your laptop battery lasts like 3 hrs.
k – i was in the middle of drying my hair and it just went out. but the fridge still works. i think it’s just a breaker or something
j – oh… well that is easy to fix
k – yeah maybe so, but i can’t do it
j – just open the box and flip the switch
k – we have no fuse box in here
j – ok, now i know your place is small when they cant put the breaker box in it. and whats this about not having heat
k – well we don’t need it today. it’s 55 outside. but we have no heat because it’s too expensive to turn it on at this point. it’s not unbearable yet
j – remember how you used to come over to my house and it was “chilly”
k – haha yes, but you did it on purpose
j – reality sets in to the bodley budget
k – haha, trust me, reality is no stranger
j – understandable. i was trying to explain that to the student loan lady today. “i decided to leave my good job to work in ministry for nothing.” that makes total sense to a loan officer
j – so where is the breaker box?
k – no clue. i’m assuming either in the hall, or downstairs.
j – in the deep dank dark basement
k – i had to call jason at work, and he was like “uhm…all you can do is keep calling the number on the answering machine”
j – down in the belly of the old turn of the century brownstone
k- ha.no in the mail lobby
k – ok the maintenance man is on his way…he was like “uhm..i’m gonna try to tell you where the breaker box is so i don’t have to come out there”..then tried to tell me i was going to have to come outside, go around the back of the building, go thru a door and climb to the top floor just to flip a switch
j- hahahaha
k – so i told him i’ve never been around the back, and i don’t feel safe, so he had to come out anyway. turdface
j – at which point he cussed
k – haha i’m sure he did. thanks for offering the 24 hour maintenance crew that doesn’t really want the job
j – ramminframmin females prissy grattehhshlkjhf
k – hahaha. yup, no doubt. jason told me i’m a wuss
j – cuz you wouldnt go find it
k – and that a breaker does not require emergency services
j – tell him he is just jealous cuz you get to do all the fun stuff and he is stuck at the video store. see, guys like the challenge of fixing stuff
