Maintanance Adventures

[aggienaut]

   I swear I nearly froze to death last night, with temperatures dipping near fifty again while I'm up trying to write a paper. Finally help came just in time... in time to turn the water off while I was in the shower.

   Thats right. I finally decide at least to take a warm shower, and I'm basking in the hot water when all of a sudden BAM no more water. I emerge to find the repairman fixing the pipe in the kitchen that had flooded the girls downstairs.


   Shortly thereafter the maintanance man returns with the professional heater guy. They tinker with the heater, clean a bunch of filters and depart. Two hours later the pilot's (which was just put in yesterday btw) out again. Tomorrow morning the heater man will try to replace another part and see if it works then.


   Maintanance man also brought a light-bulb because one of our lights is burnt out. Incidently later I was lookng for this light bulb and I couldn't find it anywhere. Finally we asked Jason and he was like "oh, the lightbulb that was on the table here? it was burnt out so I threw it away" "but the maintanance man just brought it" "well he brought a burnt out bulb" "did you... test the bulb?" "no, but it looked clearly burnt out" so I rummage through the trash until I find it. We plug it in and it works fine.


   Talked to the office about the motorcycle (With Chen) when I went in to pay rent. Office concurs that it shouldn't be a problem "but people are complaining." Office can't tell us WHO is complaining, but she mentioned three girls that sound like they fit the description of the girls below us, who didn't pay their share of the internet we shared with them for half the year last year. Also confirmed it was one of the cars one either side of me. I'm still inclined to think its the car to my car's right because they complained about the door thing, as mentioned, but roommates observe the car to the left is always parked terribly.

for someone with a paper, you sure write a lot of livejournal entries.

Too bad it's not about Siberia. You would be able to provide a lot of pertinent details.

there's a definite positive corrolation

the apparent inability to effectively repair anything is somewhat reminiscent of the soviet union.

yeah, norcal weather sucks. our windows tend to stick when i try to close it, and i've never been able to fully close it... not to mention i have a bed right underneath it. why migrate north for these 30 degree nights?

and I ahve a small corner room where one wall has a large window and another is almost entirely taken up by a glass sliding door -- both of which conduct the cold from the fields across the street from me right into my room. O=
