You know what bugs me?

The fact that we have two working showers for 20 girls. Oh, yes, they planned the bathroom well, with five showers. The thing is, only two of them work.

That means that in the morning you have to either wake up really early or race the others to the showers that work. Or check back every five minutes to see if someone left.

I've filed at least five different maintenance requests for the showers, but apparently they seem to think that they work just fine, thank you. Which they don't. The remaining showers are already bad enough, what with the lousy water pressure and the cold water anytime someone so much as opens a hot water faucet anywhere on the floor, but the other three haven't spurted anything more than a few dribbles since, oh, last May maybe?

In the words of my wise Friend Who Likes Science Fiction: asdfghjklkjhgfdsasdfghjkl. And blerg.

Now blerg I understand. Lovely word. One for SS's Word Blog perhaps. But I wonder if asdfghjklkjhgfdsasdfghjkl is splet correctly! Either way I can cope with most things but no shower, no way.

Unfortunately for my oartner (and GB when he visits) our shower only emits cold water as well. Wish I had a maintenance crew to blame it upon. Just a bad choice of plumber when we had it installed. One day....

GB: I'm quite sure asdfghjklkjhgfdsasdfghjkl is spelled correctly, unless of course I forgot a letter somewhere in there... But I have to agree, blerg is a wonderful word: multipurpose, dependable, universally understood.

SS: A shower that perpetually emits cold water? That's horrible! Inhuman! (or as inhuman as an inanimate object can be) Plumbing is a tricky trade.
