leakage

it seems odd to me that my building manager and building...well i guess he's technically the super, but i use that term loosely, as his main skill seems to be leering at me and trying to talk me into staying in the garage with him and his boombox whenever possible. anyway, i digress. it seems odd that the mgr and "super" would not have responded to a call i made yesterday morning about a water leak.
we all know how quickly water can spread, and how much damage it can potentially cause. especially those of us living in so-cal right now, who have actually seen houses crashed in on themselves on the hillsides.
so, 24 hours later i am forced to make another call, where i finally speak to the mgr--and he tells me he's gotten calls from 2 other tenants now.
that sounds really....NOT reassuring at all.
particularly since

1. i am not on the top floor
2. part of the leak is occurring down/on/in the wall which holds my fuse box
3. the major part of the leak seems to be coming from above my water heater. and by now the whole ceiling area above it appears soaked...while i am only venturing a guess that my upstairs neighbor's water heater is positioned directly above mine, it seems a bit possible that a huge appliance will come crashing through my ceiling at any moment.

fun monday. fun fun fun

i think i'll try to make myself scarce whenever "super" boy finally gets here. ugh...at least ivan will be pleased that my escape will include a trip to buy him food.
