Today was a waste of my time. I took off work to meet with a guy to fix the air conditioner. I waited around for two hours in the hot ass house and there was nothing he could do. Why? because the power was off. The breaker had been turned off and none of them were labelled. And I couldn't just ask him to start flipping switches, not with exposed wire land upstairs. We already had one fire. There was nothing he could do so he left. And I couldn't get in touch with Tony to try to figure out how to turn it back on. FRUSTRATION! I hate wasting my time.
I at least got the yard mowed and cleaned up part of the leftover mess from the pile that was in the backyard. But I really didn't have to take off work for that. *grumble*
