Rho calls me at work around 11:30 Thursday morning.

"Did you see the kitchen light this morning?"

"No...what are you talking about?"

Sometime between 7:30 and 11:30 Thursday morning, the fluorescent light in the kitchen came loose. So, it was just hanging from the ceiling, with only the electrical wires holding it up. And the only time we ever mess with it is when I clean the light shield, which is maybe every 3-6 months.

So, Rho calls the office and waits. And waits. And waits. Finally, she calls them back at 4:30. They say they'll have to come look at it on Friday because it's not an emergency.

Okay, so maybe it wasn't along the lines of no a/c, but it could have been a possible electrical problem, so their asses should have been over here Thursday afternoon.

Fortunately, the only problem was that the screw that holds the fixture up had apparently come out. We have no clue as to why or how...I suspect it may be due to the regular vibrations we feel coming from downstairs. Our last neighbors below us made a racket all the time and now our new ones do too. Never had that problem with the two previous tenants that lived there...fucking idiots.
