One of those days

ellestraI was supposed to write about something else. It was half way done when I left to meet with friends. I was to finish it when I got back. But just as I sat at the computer I realised that there was water leaking somewhere. I could hear water dripping and trickling somewhere. I followed the sound to the water heater/Ac compartment and it was all wet. At first I thought I had a leak but then I realised the water was coming down the water pipes from the flat above. And it was getting worse.
I went upstairs to try to warn the guy who lives there. It was already almost midnight so I was thinking he was sleeping while his place flooded over. After banging on the door several times I realised he probably wasn't there. His neighbour confirmed that suspicion. She also tried to call him but it was late and he never answered. I called the maintenance and waited for an hour for the guy to come. Before he turned the water off and I could finally go to sleep it was after 2 a.m. All because the seals on the water metre got loose.
The room where the water heater is smells like wet plaster and the wall are full of cracks. This is plaster drywall after all - treated with water it just loses shape and dissolves. The stains are all over that wall and on the ceiling. I don't know how the apartment upstairs look likes but the one below has all the water.
I woke up before 8 a.m. because the bank called to get me to confirm a transaction. I twisted something in my left wrist and now it hurts when I move it up and down. Then I got up and forgot I moved a couch away from the wet wall so I hit it with my right foot and tore the nail of my little toe. And when I got to work it turned out a fridge malfunctioned and lots of very expensive reagents melted.
So this was not a very good day and that was even before I learned that Harold Ramis died. So I'm going to leave this under yesterday's post. Lost among the old updates.
