Pissed off

swehSo after a long enjoyable weekend at Tori's, I returned to my apartment Monday evening... to find it over 90F. The thermostat was off the scale.
Shit.
Of course, the engineers had all gone home for the day so the person I called just recommended turning off the burner at the main power switch. Which I did. 3 hours later I had a shower and used up all the hot water, so I turned it back on, and it seemed to be playing nice.
This morning an engineer arrives, looks at it and says "it's working fine" and tries to teach me how to use a thermostat. He seemed unable to grasp that 90F is _higher_ than the thermostat can go. He also couldn't grasp the difference between the red and blue settings on the thermostat. I'm afraid I got pretty angry and started shouting at him. I swore once as well ("this has fuck all to do with the thermostat").
Dammit, I'm pissed off with the incompetence displayed by people in this fucking city.
