A New Low!

This morning I woke up at the normal time and did the normal things until I realized that my shower was not producing warm water. This is the third time in the last 2 months.

Our apartment building is large and has one large hot water heater to cover all 8 of the apartments, and the downstairs retail space. Recently new owners bought the building and have been working to set up some sort of medical establishment (clinic, doctors office, etc.). My property manager seems to think the last two times has been turned off for construction purposes, and apologizes for the warm water not being there.

The last two times this has happened it has lasted two days, all four of which I have slowly and carefully washed myself as well as I could and gotten out miserable. This morning I had had enough and decided not to take a shower.

During the first half of work I formed a far more strange and awesome plan.

At 11:30 I left my job and took my hour lunch break. I drove straight to Glen Burnie to my friends' house. 15 minutes later I unlocked the door to their house, petted Abby until she was super happy, then went straight to the bathroom and took a nice warm shower.

Like a forensic pathologizer I dusted for hair, and finger prints left behind as I finished up...hung my towel on the rack and went back to petting Abby before leaving to go back to work.

The only way they will possibly know is neighbors or the towel. I left the towel purposely on the rack on another towel to hopefully create a little confusion, and I didn't see the neighbor.

They do read my blog occasionally...
