Wow... customer service?

I am continually dumbfounded at the lack of care or concern business owners have for the public here. How is it that in a place that reaches 100 + degrees daily can have faulty air conditioner servicemen? By faulty I mean the absolute inability to communicate with customers or fix things in a timely manner. In fact, the company I use here.. there aren't many to choose from... decided to forget about me and my air conditioning problems for about 2 weeks until I haunted him with phone calls and an attitude. I didn't WANT to get an attitude with these people but no one could give a straight answer as to why I am sweating and sleeping in a hot box all the while the part to fix my air conditioner is rolling around in the back of their work van.

I am praying that today.. he means what he says and will come by to do his job. Thankfully this $600.00 that is about to be headed his way isn't my actual own money and the owners of the Spa and our apartment are happy to foot the bill.

I also have had problems in this area when it comes to tree trimmers, eye Dr's, Dr's in general. The only people who care about what they do here are the bartenders. Something is wrong with that maybe.

The days seem to be getting hotter and hotter and my mind is wandering towards cooler climates. I never thought I would actually long for a climate where I could sit next to a piping hot fire with winter clothes on and sip soup. I often wondered if I would prefer being cold over being warm or the other way around. I think I have finally decided that I would rather be cold! CRAZY!

Crossing my fingers, crossing my braids, everything... I need this air conditioner fixed!
