I really prefer living in a first world country

Setting: the FEMA trailer ~15 minutes ago, Self closes door and IMs the following to housemate (still working at school)

so the maintenance guys stopped by before they left
just now
saying to do whatever that needs water in the next hour
it'll spill out, but he expects it to freeze again tonight
tomorrow they're going to go digging
and then may end up replacing the line
and who knows what
which is all to say, i'm going to take a quick shower now.
and if you want one in our house you should come home soon to get it.
yay


end scene


In my shower, I realized how spoiled I am to take running water (and draining water) for granted. Necessity. Freak out when I don't have it.


That's great. Can we please have the water working for real tomorrow?
