And speaking of my roommates...
Our landlord dropped off a letter this morning stating that our recent rent increase will be rescinded. However, that will be due to the fact that they will be installing new gas boilers and water heaters, as well as individual thermostats in each of the apartments. -Which, I'm guessing, means we'll be now be getting bills and paying for our own gas this coming winter (instead of it being included in our rent). -They're supposed to start the work this weekend, and it's supposed to last for three to four weeks. Hmm...
