One benefit of being out sick...

Out sick from work today and basically bored out of my skull, sitting here watching old movies when I hear what sounds like someone peeing on my floor. My first though is, "******! The damn cat has decided, after a year, that he doesn't like the litterbox."

Nope.

The sprinkler system has sprung a leak and is dumping water onto my floor. So I throw on some half-decent clothes and run down to the apartment's office. Only to find that they're closed. It's 2:45 in the afternoon and the dipshits are on a break with no return time. I call the "emergency" repair number. So far, no response. "Fast service" my ass.

On the positive side, if I hadn't been home sick, I would not have noticed this and there would have been 4 hours worth of water on my floor, probably damage to the floor and to the ceiling. Well, I have a pot under it now, so at least the floor is safe, but if the slackers don't get here soon, the ceiling will probably still be damaged.

Awhile back at my school apartment the fridge broke and it took them like 3 days to replace it... stunk so bad.... ahhh terrible maitenance crews suck sometimes.
 
I was visiting my parents' a while back and just happened to be walking through the laundry room when the washer hose decided to give way. We got the water turned off within about 30 seconds so it wasn't too bad, but if I hadn't been walking through nobody would've probably noticed for quite a while. Just luck I guess.

I believe that it's a sophomoric attempt for him to tell me that it could be worse. Probably some HS or early college age punk who thinks he'd be dancing with joy if his only unconvenience was as small as he perceives mine to be. No worries though. At his age we all think that our own problems are larger than anyone else's.
