no heat

February 11th, 2008 at 10:47 am . Posted in Chicago, why I hate winter .

I woke up at 7:30 this morning to get ready for class, I decided against it because I didn’t want to face the cold. Strangely, it was freezing in my room. I thought nothing of it, that the heat just needed to kick back on and went back to sleep. At 10, I wake up, still freezing in my room, so I go downstairs to check the thermostat. 45 degrees. FORTY FIVE DEGREES. I’m sitting there messing with the thermostat…nothing. I wake up my brother and have him go check the basement thingy…nothing.

45 degrees in my house. My MacBook dashboard says it is 2 degrees outside. No good.

My dad is coming to save the day.

Send me warm vibes until it’s fixed!

    Wow, 45 indoors is COLD. My apartment has been cold the past few days too, but definitely not 45! Stay cozy!

    Ugh, good luck. I’m SO not down with this cold weather! The freaking AIR CONDITIONING is on in our building and the cold is seeping in through the windows! ARGH!

    That is scary! 45 degrees is cold for outside, much less in the house. I hope it gets fixed soon!

    45 degrees is much much to cold. Get back in bed and hide until it reaches at least 65.

    Ooh, girl. Put your bed blankets in the dryer for thirty minutes whilst drinking something hot and then crawl back in until the heat comes on!

    Oh dear.
    There is nothing worse than being uncomfortable in your own home, which is supposed to be the epitome of comfort.

    Last January my heater broke and a part needed to be replaced. It took them ONE MONTH to get the part ordered and installed. It was sooooo freezing! I too was a human popsicle!
