Pissed off, err, I mean, slightly miffed

OK, I can accept that my dryer died when the electrical fiasco happened.  Even though Dad and Kevin couldn't find a SINGLE.THING.WRONG.  I can accept that.  I'll pay someone to look at it.  I can't afford it until the weekend, since I just paid an electrician $150, but I'll do it.  I can accept it.  It doesn't work.  OK.  FINE, DAMMIT!

Tonight it was hot.  Not horribly, awfully hot, but Kevin was mowing and it was hot.  I told Brett to turn on the AC and close the windows.  He did.  When I got home, it still felt hot in here.  Thermostat showed 85, trying to cool to 78.  OK, it hasn't been more than an hour, I can deal.  2 hours later, I checked...85, trying to cool to 78.  Ummm, problem?  Kevin called me outside (when he was done mowing) and said "Listen."  The AC was humming, but not running. 

The dryer uses 120 to turn, 220 to heat.  The A/C uses 120 to blow air, 220 to get cold.  Seeing the link?  My 220 isn't working.  Those are the ONLY two things that use 220.  Kevin checked all the fuses and lugs and they are all new.  We even replaced the good ones!  Nothing.  The electrician guy was called...and wasn't cool.  He was aloof and cocky and told us to do things we've already done.  Thanks, butthead.

Now we have to tuck tail and call the insurance company, to see what they suggest.  This guy was great, on a weekend, and the price wasn't horrid.  But if it's not right, screw it!  I'm so frustrated.  My mother has been more than gracious...allowing me to dry laundry there, then pick it up an hour later.  I've left some to be done, and she's guided the girls through switching loads and folding it.  She's been more than patient.  I'm sick of it.

I want my dryer to work.  I want my a/c to work.  I want someone to do what they were paid to do.  Oh yeah, speaking of paid...the electrician dude cashed my check at the bank first thing Monday morning.  Didn't deposit it, cashed it.  Short on cash, loser?

I am mad, and frustrated and PISSED OFF!  I want satisfaction.  I want dry clothes, I want cold a/c.  I want what I want when I want it.  I guess I'll tuck tail and call the insurance company tomorrow.  Damn.

Kids start school tomorrow.  That's good.  Everyone is enrolled, with all the right paperwork in place.  That's good.  Nope, it ain't workin'.  I'm pissed.  See ya later, when I'm not screaming bad words.
