Texas, Don't Mess With ME!

I'm back in Fort Worth for the week to catch up with my team mates and two days of training.  Well, I was in Fort Worth for about 30 minutes last night, anyway.

I arrived to a sweltering house at 9 pm.  93 degrees inside.  Yes, you heard that right, 93.  Sweat running down my face, I checked the air conditioner thermostat, which was set to 72.  The fan was blowing up a storm, but no cold air was coming out.  I checked the breaker, and sure enough, the fuse was tripped.  Easy fix, I thought to myself, as I flipped the breaker back on.  But no, the compressor outside still didn't come on.  So I grabbed a flashlight and checked the breaker box outside.  It seemed okay, but I flipped it off and on just to be sure.  Damn it, still no compressor.

So I put my suitcases back in the car and drove to the Comfort Suites for the night.  I called the company who installed my aircon 2 years ago and described what was going on.  When I got to the part of "the breaker was tripped", he stopped and asked me to repeat that.  I did, and he said "damn, that's not good".

Sigh.

I'm meeting him at the house at 1 to see what's what.  Good thing I have the Comfort Suites on speed dial!

Oh, and for those of you who read my previous post on why Candy Crush is like life, here's another one:

Chocolate is always evil!
