I work in a nightclub, so I'm subjected to all the terror of the chart-topping music of today. =/

*pats shoulder* Oh you poor thing I know what it is like. Worked in kitchens for 13 years most of the time enslaved to other people's music taste. Then someone brought in a CD player. Since I worked in the room the player was in, I got to pick the music...

Gawd I would hate to work in a nightclub. I don't even like going to nightclubs.

The closest I have to a nightclub in my town is a country/western biker bar. A very rundown biker bar, at that (the place is basically a two doublewide trailers hacked and put together. You can see the last time they had a fire there; there are scorch marks all over the northern wall). The cops visit it a lot more than I do.

Sounds like it combines every roadside establishment stereotype from the 80s. I almost want to visit just for the nostalgia. But I would prefer the food I eat to not be, well poisonous ;D

I don't think they even serve food besides peanuts. If I want local food that won't kill me, there's a good steakhouse in what we call "downtown" (takes about 15 seconds to drive through), and a Mexican restaurant further down the road. If I'm feeling rich, there's a (surprisingly) good German restaurant one town over. I did finally manage to learn to cook after years of trial and error (mostly error), though. The A/C repair man is here, yay! Well, "yay" until I found out how much he's charging me....

*crosses fingers*hopefully it is an easy fix worthy of only the "opening up the toolbox charge". I don't have A/C and the last 2 summers sucked without it.

Final damage: Two hundred bucks (the capacitor went bad). Hell, I was expecting something on the order of the bill for my furnace, so I can live with that. Woohoo! It's going to take some time to cool this place down, though. I'm SO not cooking tonight!

Probably does not get much better than that actually. Lots of fussy little parts can go wrong with those things. I know this from work. Glad it was not too bad in your case.

Eek! Two hundred?! D: You could have got a new A/C with that money!

It's actually a central air unit, so that price really was the best I could hope for, all things considered. If it were a regular A/C unit, I'd have likely just replaced it if the repair bill were that high.

And I'm a year older than linders. I think I'm the oldest one here. Ha, I beat you by a few years I think... but that's no claim to fame in the internets, sadly. *shifty eyes*

Better than being called "Baby Panda" like one of the kitchen managers was. ;D
