The plumber came today. My kitchen faucet had been leaking badly, but I haven't wanted anyone in the apartment, so I delayed as long as possible. This morning I received a text from the building manager, saying that the plumber would be here in about 40 minutes. I had to cut short my exercise program, which I hate to miss, and readjust to accommodate him. I had a doctor's appointment which I did NOT want to reschedule. Some people assume that if you don't have a regular job you're free all day. Not me! But tenants here are treated like second-class citizens--that's not news. It's done, though, thankfully.
