so... here's the scoop, poop, why we have no stove for our soup:

it arrived damaged. big ol' scratch and the door would not close. they offered to sell it to our landlord at a reduced rate, but the *door* would not *close*. uh, no thanks.

then they said they might not be able to deliver a new one before Friday. they still took the old one away. HELLO, we have no STOVE. my landlord is *certainly* paying enough for one to arrive when he was told it would arrive. Home Despot dot Com is never going to get any of my business if I don't have a stove BEFORE Friday. I can't even make that pasta sauce because I have nowhere to boil my pasta.

I told Tom that the delivery company better be willing to pay for a week's worth of pizza, because I refuse to starve.

*grumble*

I might be less grumpy if I didn't have worsening earaches, a sore throat, and a nasty cough with green goo draining out of my head, but I doubt it.

What a load of crap. If the stove was damaged, the least they could have done was leave the old one. Grrrrrr.

Or even leaving the new one for the rest of the week. Then you'd be able to use the stovetop even if the oven was unusable. Leaving you with nothing is just plain shitty.

I'll all revved up pissy for you now. Grrrrrrrr.

my landlord actually turned off the gas and removed the old stove *yesterday* afternoon. so it sat outside in the rain all night. and it's very large and heavy. would've been a pain to get back inside--not something i'm capable of doing.

at the very least, we had a contractor in yesterday evening who installed valves so that we at least have hot water for now. and, if necessary, heat.
