and the green grass grew all around

if you've noticed (which you haven't, because you don't share an office with me, but you know--suspend disbelief) that i'm much grumpier and not as put together in the mornings than i used to be, here is the reason why. i am no longer taking morning showers. for the past week i have been forced to shower at the gym, and shower in the evenings at that due to my schedule.

why, you might ask? because there is a big hole in my bathroom ceiling above the tub. a big, gaping, plumbing filled hole. and how did it get there? the torrent of water leaking from the pipes above caused the ceiling to collapse, that's how. and while i would shower under a big hole, i will not shower with waste water dripping onto my head. hence, showering exclusively at the gym.

i notified the maintence staff last week as to the sagging ceiling. i yelled at them a few days ago about the whole and the leaking water. we'll see if i'll have to start negotiating rent reductions before they get off their asses....
