Ol' Faithful

I woke up this morning to torrential down pours. It was heavenly. The rain was making a soothing sound (thunder very loud and not so soothing, but eh...) so I snuggled down into my covers and went back to sleep, only awoken to be awoken by my alarm clock not 15 minutes later *sigh*.

I gathered my clothes and went to go get ready for the day. As soon as I opened the door to walk to the bathroom Erica greeted me (with copious amounts of energy) to drag me to her laptop to watch a video. For your entertainment, here is the video, narrated by none other than Erica Webb.

The video shows our showering drain bubbling up and water literally shooting out of the toilet like Old Faithful. This is not a fancy cinematic trick.

The bathroom, and maintenance issues, have been a point of contention this semester. We (and by we, I actually mean Erica) sent the video to SAI in the form of a maintenance request.

Other news on the janky apartment front. A few weeks back we had someone come inspect the pipes and water in our apartment (heck of a lot of good that did) and told us the pipes in the kitchen were eroding and needed to be replaced, or we would risk them breaking. Super. We told this to SAI and never heard back. So when they came to do an apartment inspection to ensure we were not living in squalor, we asked them. They looked Molly dead in the eye and said it was not an issue until they broke. SERIOUSLY?!?!?!? Super. So we will just call you in a panic when we have several inches of water standing in our apartment and it seeps in to the basement. Because that will be easier and cheaper to fix (*extreme amounts of sarcasm).
