Thursday – 28 February 2008
As I was getting ready for work, I heard what sounded like water drops falling on the floor or in a cabinet.  And, after the toilet debacle of a few weeks ago, I decided to see if I could track it down.

I checked the master bath.  Nada.

Hall bathroom…

  • Under-sink cabinet: Dry.
  • Floor: Dry.
  • Countertop: Mostly dry, except for one area along the wall.

I looked higher up the wall.  Bingo.  There’s a section of paint that’s been cracking/peeling for a little while.  I had been attributing it to the building settling.  I was wrong.  It’s where water has been leaking from one of the apartments above me, apparently:

  • Down the wall.
  • Onto and behind the light fixture.
  • Behind the mirror.
  • Onto the counter and/or floor.

It hasn’t been “a lot” of water, but that whole “onto and behind the light fixture” thing had me concerned.  So, I took a picture of it and made it management’s concern.   The person I talked with seemed… “a little”… concerned by the issue and immediately dispatched someone from maintenance to look into it.  I’m just hoping that it doesn’t require waiting until the re-piping job  (scheduled for next week) to get fixed.

And, fortunately, it hasn’t been enough of a problem to ruin NBN Thursday.

Quote of the Day / Unintentional Porn Overheard at Work
I was talking with a coworker about a problem in the AF office.  He’s not directly in-the-loop, but he’d been helpful in getting us in touch with the person needed to fix the issue.  When I asked him how we should proceed from this point, he said:

“I’m not really part of that.  I just… reach-around.”

I had no response for that other than, “Uh-huh.”

And now to “get on to the friction of the day.”

Namaste.
