10/25/02: No water

[juju]

My apartment complex has had no water since yesterday afternoon. Supposedly, a major water line has busted, forcing the landlord to turn the water off.

This wouldn't be so bad, except for the fact that I work at a pizza place. I come home reeking of pizza every other day. Last night I had to wash myself using a sponge and bucket of water that I borrowed from work. Because of this, I only kind of smell like pizza, as opposed to knocking people unconcious with my unbearable stench. So, I didn't feel too bad going to class, though I tried to sit apart from people.

This apartment comes with gas and water paid. So, my conspiracy theory is that the landlords just missed their payment and the water company turned the water off. Either way I can't do anything about it but wait.

The other thing that bothers me is that the landlords never actually tell us anything. The only way I ever find anything out is via little notes at the bottom of the stairs. This is pretty lame, I think. I know there are a lot of apartments, but I'd at least like a call or something.
