So once again, the Incompetent Attorney has gone dark, leaving us other denizens of cyberspace with one (or eight) less laughs per day. We'll miss you, IA.
And promoting Paul Katcher to the position of sole token straight man. Unless anyone else wants to apply.
In other news, what the fuck is up with my superintendent? Remember how, all through the early part of winter both this year and last (ok, I wasn't blogging then, but I remember...) the heat was never on at the right time? Well, now that it's in the mid 40's, they have the heat on higher than it's been in months. I came home from work last night, and it was over 80 degrees in here. I've had the window AC unit on full blast all night (just on fan, mind you), but it's still not super comfortable.
Why do they insist on wasting this much energy? Well, I guess that's just part of having an NYC apartment. At least I don't have a car, so I don't have to worry about alternate side of the street parking rules.
Speaking of cars, I just booked a rental car for when I go to Ohio to visit my parents a couple weeks from now. Why is it that my mom is so crazy about making sure I get a discount? She'll go out of her way to see that I save $5 or 10. Me? I just want to have a car I know I'm going to enjoy driving. Maybe for them, who both drive BMW's every day, they don't care what kind of rental car they get, as long as it goes and doesn't qualify as a deathtrap. But I don't drive on a regular basis, but I do remember, back from my car-ownership days, that it can be a fun thing. And damned if I'm going to sit in some crappy ugly Ford Taurus of Kia Sephia for three of the 10 days I'll actually spend with a car of my "own" this year. And I don't mind paying $10 extra to get it.
