Ok. Sounds like a good plan.
Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

Uh, usual guy schmusual guy--if it's not warm in your apartment, he needs to get someone. There are laws about heat, and for a reason. If his usual guy can't do it he needs to get someone else, or legally he may be required to put you up in a hotel, or you can withhold rent. Etc, etc. Which, I know people don't like to piss of the landlord by doing that, but saying "oh, my usual guy can't do it even though it's been two days of cold"? Not acceptable.

But, he brought a space heater?

Is the space heater keeping it warm enough in the apartment?
I mean, I don't know the Boston laws, but here in DC (which granted, has darn good tenant laws) the landlord is required to turn on the heat by a certain day, and keep the apartment heated to a certain temperature. By law.

The MA laws is that on from September 15 - June 15 the apartment has to be 68 degrees during the day and 64 degrees at night.
It is getting warmer with the space heater. I think we'll be ok.

Your tag here.
He offered to pay his usual guy an extra $150
Yeah, I was going to say he could buy you a hotel room with that $150. I mean, you've got a respiratory infection and you're in a cold apartment? Not the best combination. Hopefully you're managing with the space heater.

Sniff. I so need to go to LA again soon!! Darn work, sending me everywhere ELSE (next three/four weeks=Denver, Chicago, Tampa, Oregon, and Atlanta).
So. The deadline for applying for grad school is January 15th. I find out Jan 31 if I still have a job. That's totally enough justification to ask my boss to write a recommendation letter "just in case" right? And it won't like...make them lay me off, yeah?
