Maybe tomorrow, I’ll want to settle down,
Until tomorrow, I’ll just keep moving on.

first world money, third world mentality

On October 1st, we received a notice from our superintendant telling us that our water heaters would be changed in the next couple of days, and we should lock up our valuables and whatnot in our apartments.

Who knew that "a couple days" would turn into a couple of weeks? Mine was changed today. Yesterday, they came into my apartment to get it started, and moved my fridge across the kitchen. Today, they finished the job, and my fridge was back in its happy location. Now with a large, white cylinder above it, that is my water heater.

Not a bad thing, I do like hot water! It makes my showers feel, you know, bearable.

But the mess the workers left behind! My apartment smelt like sweaty men who hadn't showered in a while (you know, that taxi driver smell), and there was dust PARTOUT. (aka everywhere). I swept up the largest pile of dirt. They left the doors to my washrooms open (including my boy's bathroom...which smells like an outhouse, even after i clean it, because of the drains) and they used my ensuite bathroom! Not only did they use it, but they left the toilet seat up. For the love. Honestly. Is it so difficult to put a lid down? Especially in a girls' apartment?

Needless to say, I spent an hour cleaning when I got home from school. Maybe my apartment needed it. Though I was still a little bitter about it! ;)

Although the water running from the tap is now brown. Mmm...hot chocolate, straight up

The nerve of some people, making you clean like that....really. What is this world coming to. I can thoroughly appreciate your miffedness...not a word, but it works here!
take care, still enjoying your pictures...did it really snow in October last year?
