Researching the Magic!
The property manager for this place, fucking cheapskate. Can't wait to be out of here at the end of the month, and never thought I'd be saying that about a year ago. This dumbass refuses to call the installing company to fix the AC properly (including a problem part that would be under warranty) and instead insists on calling these 2nd rate outfits and handymen that never quite actually fix it (not to mention the installing company warranties their repair work). So the AC was "fixed" yesterday, and already back to not working. Oh, and for the cherry on top, the owner is trying to sell the place. There's a buyer lined up, but the guy's inspector of course found that the AC wasn't quite working right during his inspection, and yet he still refuses to get it properly fixed. I seriously think he's leaving the owner in the dark on this issue and will end up costing the sale, but that's none of my business. I'll hopefully be out and moving into a place with working AC sometime next week.

Being bullshitted. That's a pet peeve.
Harking back to an earlier post of mine, the construction beside my home has started.
One morning this week, one of the monster machines was running across from my front windows and I realized the metal frame on my living room TV and the kitchen range hood were rattling--both resonating along with the deep vibration from the motor.
Prior to beginning work, a community meeting was held by management of the company bankrolling the construction. I distinctly remember someone asking them what times we could expect them to be working, and I really regret I did not record the meeting, because I'm certain we were told something like "Oh, it will be normal work hours" and I thought she said something like 7:30-3:30. Well, not only are the bastards regularly out here until nearly 7PM, but now my Saturday morning began to the sound of their damn bulldozers. So, now we don't even get weekends to recuperate.
And, yes, I'm looking for somewhere else to live.

Picture tube in the old TV out in our three season room just died. Goddammit.
Watched Ohio State win two national championships on the TV.

This is a 45" CRT monster circa 2001. About as big an HDTV one could buy in that era without going to a rear projection TV or a plasma (back when those things ran $3k and up). Also because the room has 9 63" awning windows, needed a traditional set that wouldn't be washed out by sunlight. And because it's a screened in room, I wanted something so heavy a would-be thief would say, "fuck that," and move along to an easier mark. Been a good set ... had a good run.
The reason this is in the pet peeve thread is that now that it's dead, I've got to move it. This thing weighs nearly 150 lbs, and I'm married with four children so of course I've got no friends anymore to help me.
Might just have to Jeff Foxworthy it and put a working TV set on top of it for awhile.

I've had to look at a couple properties in my area that had road work or construction outside their home and now their homes are experiencing damages from settling. All that heavy equipment and impact can disrupt and cause ground movement below the surface so keep an eye out!

Would not surprise me in the least. If I put my hand on my metal front door, I can feel it vibrating. Plus side is, if the roof falls in on me, and I'm not dead, I can sue them for enough $$ to move.
