Work was a pain today on what was supposed to be a slow day, but it’s done. Internet, phones and the datalink to the fleet vehicles were all down for the first few hours, but were eventually restored. Tomorrow I’m only working a half day so I’ll be home at 0700, a time when most sane people are just leaving for the office, all because of a delivery of a new and pricey item; how pricey I have no clue.
About a week and a half ago my refrigerator stopped working, although the freezer seemed to be OK. Rather than repair it the landlord decided to find a used one for me. That would have been fine, but I guess he was having trouble sourcing one. As a result, his boss (his wife) told him to buy a new one for my unit. I’m sure it’s nothing fancy, but it is brand new. I guess I’ll have to be polite and keep it clean, being sure to remove any spoiled items in a reasonable amount of time instead of waiting 6 or 7 months like I have in the past.
The other happy news is a camera identical to the one above. It’s a pretty high-end advanced amateur camera that still sells for $100-$300 on the used market. Of course, it was a Goodwill Outlet find, and is in pretty good condition except for a sizable scratch on the LCD. Of course, it didn’t work. even after charging it. After reading numerous reviews I was even considering spending $100+ to get it operational again, but I figured that I’d try the very first thing that’s gotten numerous freebie cameras operational, namely replacing the battery. $10 on FleaBay for a new one and it arrived today. Popped it in and the camera fired right up! I’ll need to dig out a memory card to test it fully, but so far everything I’ve checked seems to work.

Probably just a bad compressor, I’m surprised he couldn’t get it repaired instead. Anyway, a new fridge is likely to be much better on energy usage so you both win.

Well, if it was the compressor the freezer wouldn’t be working, but that portion seems to be OK. The cold just isn’t getting below to the refrigerator, which tells me it’s an internal fan. But yeah, I can’t see any downside, unless they decide to raise my rent, something that hasn’t happened in the nearly 5 years I’ve lived here.
