Appliance Melt Down 101

Things seem to be going from bad to worse here in Baltimore. I got home last night, after a two hour commute on the beltway in the rain (fun, fun, fun in grid lock) and found that my brand new fridge had stopped working. What happened to taking pride in craftsmanship? Aren't these things supposed to work for years and years? I feel like I'm Shleprock, lost in the land of the Flintstones. Normally I would just laugh this off and move on but I'm livid. For the love of God, it's only been in my house for 6 days! The freezer is freeze drying everything and the fridge is melting stuff-this is a damned nightmare! To top all the fun off I'm going to have to take tuesday morning off to wait for the repair guy and miss a morning at work. I'm sure to score points at the temp agency and with my temporary employer. I mean it's rough enough trying to find a place to live and now this happens. I just want to go soak my head in the nearest bucket.
