I seem to have inherited [livejournal.com profile] musesfool's bad luck regarding bathrooms and leaks. *sigh* There's water intermittently gushing from around the vent in the ceiling of my bathroom. And by "intermittently" I mean "since Friday, at least once a day".

What's frustrating is the lack of anything being done about it. The maintenance guy seems really concerned, but he hasn't done anything. He's been upstairs, done some investigating, been over here a couple times, but nothing's been done. Today he said he'd be here about 10 or 11 to really dig in...and then he didn't show. I can see he's working today (I've seen him driving around the property), but he never came here.

Plus the upstairs neighbors have been unhelpful. They didn't like the maintenance guy turning on their faucets to leave them running to see if that was the problem. Complained that he was running up their water bill. Never mind that a leak from their pipes would mean their water bill being sky high anyway.

ETA: I wrote all that earlier and Livejournal ate it. Now, after just getting out of the shower, after a massive bathroom cleaning because the mildewy smell was driving me nuts, I can say I've found the leak. Because the perspective of standing in the shower and looking up at the shower head revealed a water stain on the ceiling and the drywall over the shower blistering, wet and stained.

I know I'll be calling the office tomorrow to get this fixed ASAP, plus I'm going to let them know my major concerns over mold. Because it'll be 6 days tomorrow. Six days where a leak wasn't fixed. SIX DAYS. (Also, I am on night shift. I need to be sleeping during the day tomorrow and Thursday and Friday.)
