Fortunately, I'm Not Drinking It For Health Reasons: Yesterday they shut off the water in our apartment building for most of the day. before going to bed last night, I brushed my teeth and drank a glass of tap water. This morning, I drank another glass of tapwater before heading out to start my day, and was greeted by this sign in the lobby:

We have to boil our water now? Are you kidding me? For how long??

"Until further notice."

I'm sure they'll give us a discount on our rent for the inconvenience.

A-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA... oh, man, sometimes I just slay me. *tearwipe*

Yeah... we could complain to Ray. And he'd say "Hey, it's not my fault, man...I'm tired of dealing with these things."

We've only ever got one call from the super, right after we moved in. He phoned at 7AM in the morning on a Saturday to ask us if we had cats, 'cause someone had been throwing kittylitter off the balcony...
