Back in the days when I worked full time being able to (truthfully) say, "I work full time and will have to take half a day's vacation to get this resolved unless you come on Saturday. When are you wanting to come?" Seemed to get much more sympathetic time slotting. (Usually still vaugely "between 11 am and 3" but at least it was slightly more difinitive than "sometime on Thursday!")Janellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11092893864737058248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10702380.post-10504274423954220732007-01-11T11:49:00.000-08:002007-01-11T11:49:00.000-08:00That is super annoying.

I haven't used it yet (you have to subscribe), but I've heard <i>great</i> things about it. They charge the subscribers a fee because they don't take any ads (conflict of interest). Anyway, you might check it out and see if you can find a better repair person for your heater! Maybe your building owner would even pay for the subscription...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10702380.post-6859811937394777142007-01-11T09:02:00.000-08:002007-01-11T09:02:00.000-08:00It's okay, it's not just a stay-at-home mom thing,...It's okay, it's not just a stay-at-home mom thing, they jack grad students around the same way. I'm sure they think "Oh! Grad student! So, 3 hours of class a day and then the rest of it off to noodle on the computer. Some don't even HAVE classes!" Never mind the fact that most days I'm on campus before 8 and not home until after six (after NINE today, actually, it's Thursday and I have TA meeting.)<br /><br />Not that I'm, you know... noodling around on the internet NOW or anything.... I think I'll go write my lecture.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
