Urge to kill: high.
I awoke this morning to our ridiculous and loud front door buzzer. My roommates don't tend to get out of bed to answer the door, even if it might be the fire department coming to evacuate them from a ragin blaze. So, I got up and answered the door.
It was PGW (the gas company). They asked for my apartment. They then asked for my roommate under whose name the gas bill is. She, of course, was the only one at work. The nice gentleman was there to SHUT OFF THE FUCKING GAS. Apparently we owe something like $1400.
Shortly after I moved in (October 1st), this happened before. There was a round of big checks written by all, including one by me that was more than my possible share of current charges could have been. Whatever, I wrote it. I like too cook. And have heat. And shower in hot water.
We've been giving her checks every month for the gas bill (made out to PGW, 'cause I'm not dumb). And now we owe $1400? I have some serious questions for her. I called her, found her checkbook, and wrote them $100 frrom her account, and $100 from my own. Gas stays on, I go back to sleep.
I then realize that I'm hearing the sound of rain hitting the sidewalk outside. My windows are closed, and I wondered where a window might be open. I check the living room, and everything is closed up.
EXCEPT FOR THE FACT THAT IT'S RAINNG THROUGH THE CEILING. NOT DRIPPING, BUT ACTUALLY RAINING. There's a small skylight, and water was running gleefully out of the celing and walls. I got some plastic tubs from the basement and put them under the leak. i woke another roommate and had her call the landlord, as I was already late for work.
I'm now at work and seething.
