This morning I woke up to no heat in my apartment, and it’s only 20 below eff outside! Like the coldest front of the Winter so far, and we have no heat in all of our apartment building… At least our section… Lucky us! Brrrrrrr
Plus, the toilet won’t stop overflowing! (I know it’s gross to me too, but I have to vent.). It has flooded twice now, and last night when it flooded the SECOND TIME this week, I threw the lid off the back, reached in to pull that lever that shuts it off manually, and it was so old and brittle, it snapped right off! I felt like I was in some sort of Kafkaesque version of a Three Stooges episode, except that I was the only stooge around, and Larry and Curly were busy throwing pies in each other’s faces, so they couldn’t help me. So anyway, standing in about a half inch of water, I managed to get the water cut off at the wall (after the half of the floor was wet, of course). Since it was Sunday, there is no one there to fix it, or even anyone to call , really. The maintenance guy lives in BFE, and he won’t come all the way back out here unless it’s an absolute emergency. I’ve found that out he hard way.
Get your act together Pinewoods Apartments! If I don’t make it to school today, I must have frozen into a human-sized Popsicle, or maybe drowned in toilet water. Ahhhhh… life in the ghetto…
