Epic, call them back and tell them that it will be up to them to replace anything that is irreparably damaged if the ceiling should fall around you in a gushing cascade of water of dubious origins. Call the building manager directly if you have to.
So there is something I can do, besides scream like a woman?

Spike's Bitches 24: I'm Very Seldom Naughty.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Shit's all sorts of different now.
S.T.G. I'm about to go Wayne Brady and slap a bitch.

Finally went and got Maintenance Guy personally. The drippy-gurgly noise was water leaking into a BUCKET placed on the NOT DESIGNED TO BE LOAD-BEARING TILES in the ceiling. So, basically we knew about the leak, but rather than fix it, we put a bucket to catch water on the (did I mention NOT DESIGNED TO BE LOAD-BEARING) ceiling tiles.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I had a landlord who used that exact technique to "fix" a leaking shower in the apartment above mine.
I was glad I was only there for three months.

Mostly lurking...
The kids are "filming a movie" for one of their classes. It's so adorable. They're all, "BE QUIET!" and stuff. It's cracking me up.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Oh! Happy Birthday, Teppy!

Always Anti-fascist!
BT, I would date you for the snark and because you told me what iguana style was, without asking if I was "into that". That makes you the best net date ever! And, Aussies sound hot. But, maybe not always to you, not being all Exotic. And, you have an ex-wife, and yet are not all "Bitch! Die." Which makes you...probably too healthy to date me, but I would consider it a big good sign, mostly.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
And, Aussies sound hot. But, maybe not always to you, not being all Exotic.
BillyTea is a very date-able man. But now I wonder... the Aussie accent is teh hot to us in the U.S - how does the U.S.-speak sound to Aussies? Are we as boring sounding to you as we are to ourselves?
P.S. I am not here. You did not see me post. I am busy pricing my junk for the moving sale. Really.
