Ah. Then you're right and I didn't catch the reference. I thought pretty much every random "-omancy" was an Erfworld reference.
The A/C in my Bart Villa apartment never seemed to do anything for the temperature in the apartment, and every time I complained, there was some excuse. "Oh, we haven't turned it on yet. We've already turned it off. It's working, but it's not supposed to feel cold." Uh, what? I never successfully referred anyone to one of their apartments despite the promise of $200. Not to mention the staggering number of times that they applied my rent payment to the wrong apartment, then sent me letters threatening legal action. The one time when my rent payment was late (but still within the stated grace period), they silently deducted the late fee from my deposit. Ditto when I underpaid after they changed the rate and I was paying the wrong amount each month... no word at all until they misdirected a payment and I called in response to the nasty letter. That's when they told me about the underpayments, and I started paying the full amounts. No penalties, though. So, in short, Deer Park is worth plenty of hassles.
And my apartment had one grounded outlet, total. And it was next to the kitchen. My electronics lived in fear.
