Finally moved into my new pad. I can say I've found a property management worse than 21. The number one on my list is the lack of a gas meter. Yeah, the meter has been pulled, and it won't be until next Tuesday when they will have another one put in. That means no heat or hot water. FML.
My agent has been nagging the guy to get me free rent until the gas is working because the house wasn't ready to move in. The property manager thinks that since it wasn't there the lack of gas utility isn't his problem...
The kicker? The lease states that I am not allowed to disconnect any utility or I'll pay a fee. Also, there's a rule that states homes must be equipped with heat in order to make it habitable. Lots of crap going on
I was able to get blazing fast internet and awesome cable from Comcast. It hasn't turned into a Comcatastrophe, but I'll be on the lookout.
As far as my travels in A-town go, Ikea is killer awesome. It has a cafeteria!
The job is going super sweet. I'm allowed to take time off to go downtown to transfer my water over, go home to wait on maintenance (who don't show up), and chat with the people in other departments. It also has come to my attention that my official title is Utility Engineer. The title was created special for me. Everyone else is a Project or Process Engineer. I personally liked Project Engineer better, but then I saw my Name and Title on my business card, and I liked seeing the specialized title ^_^
Next week I will be traveling to Cincy and have hot water. It's gonna be fabulous!
