Drip Drip Drip

As I was sitting at home today I heard a strange tapping sound. A regular cadence that seemed to be coming from the hallway... a faucet leak? Sure enough, it was a water drip... but it was coming from the ceiling. And the ceiling was bowed. And getting worse. After getting off the phone with my landlord about this sudden problem, and while I was standing in the bathroom gawking at the water that was now streaming down into my sink, the bathroom ceiling collapsed. And chased me into the hall. I'm sure I'll be having dreams of drywall crumbling and following me from room to room now. Anyway, as the ceiling was no longer obstructing my view to the upstairs plumbing, I could see what the problem was. A sewer leak, from the neighbors toilet. Toilet water had collapsed my ceiling and saturated my bathroom. If I had not been home, the mess would have been all over my bathroom belongings. Luckily I had time to get everything important out of the bathroom before the ceiling suddenly came down. Except for the rugs. But whatever, they were getting old anyway. So now I've got every window in the house open to air out the smell and the fix it guy is on his way over to take care of things. I guess while I'm sitting here I'll catch up on some Battlestar Galactica - and try to figure out where I'm going to go potty.
Some days, you don't need to look for excitement. Excitement finds you! Ah, good times.
