Hot enough for me?
It's not enough that my personal life is in a shambles. (So what else is new?) A few weeks ago, a bookcase in the library fell over, falling on and breaking the free-standing fan I keep there. No problem; there's still the AC in the hallway ceiling, and the living room ceiling fan.
Then on Saturday, the AC, which had been dripping condensation slightly, began to issue forth a stream of water. (Fortunately, I had already put a box on the floor with a plastic trash bag stretched over it to catch the drips, so the carpet didn't get drenched.) Then last night, I turned on the ceiling fan, walked away from it to get something in the kitchen, and the fan came loose and crashed to the floor!
(I mentioned this to a co-worker just now, and she asked, "Who put the ceiling fan in?" I had just enough presence of mind to answer, "Must have been the Phantom of the Opera.")
I reported both of these to the resident manager, and she's going to get them taken care of, but still, it's an inconvenience. Sigh.
