Condensation

This morning the hot water from my bath tap was lukewarm. This had happened Thursday morning. It took several minutes to heat up which was highly unusual. Today it did not heat up after several minutes.

I left a voicemail for the manager. And i paged the "emergency" number. Then, knowing they don't work weekends, i braved the lukewarm shower which was barely over my body temperature. That was not a fun time : ( I worked quickly.

Afterwards, as i stood naked on speakerphone with Kaiser's EZ Fill, there was a knock on the door. I finished the call, then peeped through the hole.

It was Brandon* the maintenance guy.

"Can you gimme a second Brandon?" I yelled from behind the closed door. (Did i mention i was naked?)

"Oh," Brandon yelled back. "I just wanted to let you know your water heater should be working in half an hour..."

Turned out something had blown up and he promptly replaced the part. I was impressed by the response time!

I thanked him loudly.

Had this been porn i woulda invited him in. But, alas, this is real life. So merrily he went on his way.


*Not his real name

HAHAHAHAHA!!!! It was the makings for a great porn flick...;-) I'm glad you can take a hot shower again. It's too cold here for anything lukewarm...
