I am not an Eskimo...and this is not Alaska!

So last night...Dri and I went to bed as we normally do but I soon woke up a couple times between midnight and 3AM. When I woke up, I realized the heat was on but there was cold air blowing out the vents. I figured it was just at the end of the cycle since there's always a little cold air right before it shuts off. I also got to thinking that it must have just gotten a lot colder than they thought.

Well...I woke up around 3:30 or 4 and realized that there was a constant stream of cold air blowing out the vents. I quickly got up and got another blanket to put on the bed and turned up the heat. I
figured it might get warm that way. Well...I went to lay back down and Dri asked what was wrong and I told her and she made the point that since I turned the heat up it probably wouldn't shut off at all. Well, I went out to turn the heat back down...it was 48 degrees inside our apartment! What the (insert your preferred exclamation here)!!!! I do not live in Alaska! It's just not cricket!

So I turned the heat completely off. I figured no cold air blowing was better than cold air blowing. Then I went back to bed but soon realized that if they came to fix it they might need the heat on. So I turned it back up even if I knew it would do no good. I then called our landlord to leave a message and let him know about the furnace. Well, as soon as I got off the phone with him, the furnace kicks on and is blowing hot air now. What the (insert your other preferred exclamation here)!!!! I don't know about this place sometimes. Things just kind of suck here sometimes. Again, I say...I am not an Eskimo and this is not Alaska!
