So it turns out the job I really wanted has been offered to the other guy. I'm not really surprised, though - it was a business job and he had his master's in business. It's sad, but I shouldn't worry about things I have no control over. However, I was their second choice out of all that applied, which is great and all but still doesn't get me a job.
The heat has been almost unbearable this week so I met David downtown to buy a new AC unit. When we got home, we attempted to install it and to do so we had to take out the broken one first. After checking, it was clear whoever installed it didn't put in supports so we got the super to help. He held it as David opened the window, but if you're familiar with window units at all then you'll know the majority of the weight is outside. Since there were no supports, you can guess what happened. The whole thing quickly fell out the window (7th floor) and smashed onto the pavement. It's just a miracle that no one was down there since it easily could have killed someone or totaled a car. Not only did the idiot that installed it not put in supports but didn't bolt the shell into the window frame like you're supposed to, either. Needless to say, we're going to hire someone to install the new one.
Tomorrow I go to work half a day at the research job. I'm kinda nervous, but we'll see how it goes. That's about it. Still have yet to hear about the third apartment we've applied to get.
