yeah as a student you really don’t realize how many bills you’re not paying. at least, i was astounded by that when i graduated.
thankfully, where i’m at now, the heat is included. unfortunately, what this means is
- i don’t actually have a thermostat i can get ahold of
- the person who does have the thermostat is the one paying the heating bill, and
- the person paying the bill does not actually live anywhere in the building.
this results in a somewhat… irregular heating profile. two weeks ago when it was still sorta warm the radiators kicked on, but yesterday when it was in the 40s, they did not.
also, for the record, i hate radiators. like, a lot. when they’re on, we have to open windows no matter how cold it is out because it’s just sweltering inside otherwise. and it gets SO DRY. gr.
