No Hot Water, Part 2

Once again we have no hot water. It's really quite frustrating. There is no warning, no announcement posted. On Saturday morning, you just wait and wait for the water to warm up and after five minutes you realize that it is still icy cold. Then you chat with some friends and realize that they have had the same problem. But it's not too bad...until Sunday. On Sunday morning you curse the fact that the water is still cold and that since your last shower on Friday night you have been to a bar, played futbol, cooked dinner with friends, been dancing at a club, and run 10k (and studied of course, but that doesn't make you sweat unless it is exam time). And at this point you realize that your building's heat is ambient (running on steam as opposed to gas forced air) so you're bundled up in a blanket and drinking lots of coffee. But there is hope, your friends have gym memberships next door so instead of the traditional Sunday afternoon coffee, this week you will go out for a sauna. Then coffee. Writing in the second person is tough.
