So, our bathtub faucet has been leaking for weeks.
When I paid rent at the start of November I put it a maintenance request. Never got called back. So, about a week ago, I called again for another maintenance request. He called on Thursday, and we set up an appointment on Friday. The issue was that I had to leave for work exactly at 1:00 PM. He agreed he'd be in and out before I had to leave.
So, great. Friday morning I wake up early to get my shower out of the way, and camp out on the couch watching Pokemon. I had errands to run, but you know, he'll be there soon for sure.
He never shows. I go to work, and call him on the way. He says, I shit you not, "Oh shit, I had that appointment today, didn't I?" UUhhhhhh yeah, you did. So I'm like, "look, I have tomorrow off, how about then?" "I don't work on weekends." So I'm going to try to get him over on Monday.
So my dad came by today to see if he could fix it. First he has to find the shut off valve for the water. He finds it, but it's--like, rusted shut. So that takes like forty-five minutes to shut off. Also, apparently it was leaking, which may or may not have to do with our shitty hot water. I never would have known this, because our water heater is in a cupboard in our kitchen that's generally kept screwed shut. THEN, after the water is shut off, he goes to take things around the faucet apart, but they might be all corroded together.
So, yay apartment. Good going. Back to waiting for the plumber.
But it was made better that I got several new icons today, and this entry is a good enough excuse to use one of them.
Also, my dad brought porkchops. I've been wanting to make pork chops lately, so that's good. I just need to go get some olive oil. Yayyyyyy pork.
I'm going to go back to napping now. I work at six in the morning tomorrow. ;A; |
