Don't you have a friend or neighbor to change it? Changing a breaker
is a 10 minute job that only needs a screwdriver. If you're afraid of
it, dont do it, but an electrician will likely cost $150 to change a
$5 breaker, because they will charge for a full hour plus trip charge.

Get a handy friend, make them dinner and/or give them a six pack and
everyone will be happy.

Read a story about a single woman living in a New York apartment who had a
single male friend in the same building. When she had a repair job, she'd
trade him a home-made meal for the fix. Their thought processes ran as
follows:

She: "He can put up a towel rack so it STAYS put-up and all I have to do is
throw a couple of extra potatos in the pot. It's a miracle."

He: "For a couple of the right kind of thirty-cent toggle bolts, I get a
wonderful rack of lamb dinner! It's a miracle."

Then they had sex.
