Well At Least I Have Company

You probably know by now that my shower has been leaking for about six weeks and it's starting to get annoying.

I reported it six weeks ago and then five weeks ago I got an e-mail saying that the Student Support lot had sent my request to a plumber and to expect a resolution shortly. Five weeks later, still have a leaky shower and no sign of a plumber arriving ever.

Aside from the service being annoying, I've had to put up with the nigh-constant dripping (which has started to increase in pace) and just now Jo has pointed out to me that I have mouldgrowing in the corner where the shower is dripping. I'm putting this down to the constant damp conditions, because the shower-room is a wet-room (meaning it doesn't have a seperate shower cubicle) and thus can't drain properly.

Have you any idea how annoying it is to have a wet bathroom floor for six weeks?

Whenever I've wanted to brush my teeth, comb my hair, go to the loo or gaze longingly at my Adonis-like reflection in the mirror I've had to take my socks off or risk possible damp feet for the rest of the day as well as athlete's foot. Let me tell you, those times I forgot to remove my shoes before entering were fun: Not only did I have a wet floor, I then had a muddy wet floor.

So I'm reporting it (or, really Jo's reporting it for me as she's better at writing nasty letters that get people to actually do their jobs) again.

Update: They came and fixed it!
