When it is ~100F / 37 C out, it is nice to have a functioning A/C unit
The maintenance guy fixed the A/C by about 12:30, and the temperature is back where I want. When he came in to let me know he'd finished, I was very grateful and asked (for a second time-- when he showed up yesterday I had asked him, too) if he wanted water. Please! he agreed, and gulped down a glass.
I love you, Maintenance Guy. Thank you for believing us that there's a problem, this time and fixing it! (Yesterday there was a second maintenance guy, and they both were doing the usual I'm a Technician On-Site and I Really Hope This Isn't Broken thing where they basically tried to imply that Danny had overreacted about the heat, and that it wasn't really broken. I understand where they're coming from-- they're working a pretty shitty job-- but it's still frustrating to be talked down to like that, and nobody enjoys having their capacity for observation cast into doubt without substantial justification.)
