when i got home from work tonight at about 8:30, i found out i had no running water. so i called my landlord upstairs.
"we're working on it", she said. "it'll be working shortly"
that was almost 2 hours ago...
one minute ago, i got a phone call saying:
"we won't have water til maybe tomorrow afternoon. the pipes burst or something underground, so the water company and plumbers will be here in the morning and will have to tear up the street and sidewalk in front of the apartment."
lovely.
so i will be working from home tomorrow. i just realized that i am screwed car-wise... my parking permit expired on november 30th. so that means i have to actually go outside and move my car every 2 hours. and my yankees cap is in the car... okay, i will wrap my head up in a scarf so as not to frighten people from my unwashed face and hair as i go do that.... OR i could drive to the parking authority and get a new sticker. no. that's way on the west side... and folks will see me, even though 98% of them haven't bathed in 4 years.
i can mail my permit request in.
i will also be calling myself Showerless Joe McCool until i get H2O and soap slathered all over me.
