I really dislike having control of my heater in one of the public areas of the building - particularly when I am the one paying for it.
Shh! I kinda wanna hear me talking right now!

sumi, how can the heat turn on without you knowing about it?
ION, someone (probably my next door neighbor) is cooking waffles and/or pancakes, and they smell deliciously good.

The only way to turn on/off the heat is by turning on/off the fuse at the fusebox. This is kept in the basement of the other half of the building.

Does that control only your heat, Sumi? If so, you could tape it in place and stick on a note.

Yes, it controls the heater in the living room. (I no longer have central heat - just individual heaters.) That's a good idea.
There would be no way that it could have done it on it's own, is there?

No, breakers only flip off on their own. My guess would be that the power surge flipped some other breakers and someone "helpfully" flipped them all back on.

Hi JZ. Something about your "Wolves in the Wall" analogy bothered me a bit, and as I realized what it was, it inspired a bit of flash fiction. It is posted in "Write Way" at Typo Boy "The Great Write Way, Act Three: Where's the gun?" Jun 5, 2011 9:41:51 am PDT .

I've been swimming my laps like I'm supposed to, but my form is actually getting worse. So, I think I'm going to sign up for a month's worth of lessons in July. They offer four half-hour lessons from 7/10 to 7/31, with up to four adults in each group, for only $44, and it'll be worth it. My breathing is all wrong, I know, and my kicking has gotten worse--I used to just start kicking and stroking fine, but now I can't do both of them at the same time, so my kicking has become negligible at best.
