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.
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.
Skipped a bunch to shamelessly pimp my daughter. Including pictures of The Monkeypants.

Monkeypants! Thanksgiving baby! Massive cuteness!
Em is too cute!!! I can't believe how big she is getting. I love the monkeypants.
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?
Monkeypants! So cute!
I may just keep abusing exclamation points because the Saints just won!!
meara, it sounds like excellent justification, and I don't think it would incline them to lay you off if they weren't already going to. Out of curiosity, would you quit if you go to grad school?

I think you can totally ask them for a rec letter. You are planning for the future, whatever that is. I don't think it would have an effect on the lay off plans at all.
I typed a big long post earlier today, with relevant comments about things other people said and everything, and then I hit "OK" rather than "Post message" and went to the beginning of the thread. So I bowed to my subconcious compulsion not to post right then, and since then I keep forgetting to say: we found a place to live. Benicia, baby. I think we are going to start moving our stuff in on December 5, and fully take up residence around the 17th (when we get back from New York). Yay.
