Yikes Allyson. You should check to see if your neighbors have a leaking shower and aren't aware of it. But, hey, didn't you have this problem before?
My coffee was free at Starbucks this morning because it's Earth Day and I had my own mug.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Ugh. Yeah, four more days of this place before I move.
I'm just SO MAD.

Oh man. A friend here had that happen. Except it did fall on her (and her cat.) Old building so it was craploads of plaster too.
I would be so grossed out.

The status is NOT quo.
I had the wall of a hotel room fall on me once. There had been a flood upstairs, apparently. Huge chunk o'plaster, three feet across, WHOMP on top of me, my luggage, and everything else. When I called down to complain, the front desk had to audacity to tell me that they couldn't help me right away, but couldn't I just "kick it to the side for now?" Um. No. Got a room upgrade that night, yessiree.
This was in Ann Arbor. I've had a grudge against that city ever since.

I had a bathroom ceiling collapse when I lived in Montreal. The tap in the bathtub had a constant running drip of scalding hot water, and the landlord wouldn't fix it, so the room was basically a steam bath for a good four months before the ceiling finally couldn't take it. Was acutally kind of nice over the winter, since we didn't pay the hot water.

I have ten million fricking e-mails in my inbox, and potentially another clusterfuck of the kind that made me seriously think about walking off my job a few weeks ago. Nobody wants to go see Iron & Wine with me tonight. I am still exhausted from this weekend.
Today can kiss my ass.

Frankly, that doesn't sound like a punishment, Shrift.
