just another whiny foreigner who hasn’t showered
We have no gas. This is not because we haven’t paid for gas –I went down to the office in the basement, paid to recharge our gas card, and then slid the card into our gas meter so that it now shows that we have 50 units of gas (whatever that unit is). But the meter is broken and won’t turn the gas on. And this meter is the replacement for the previous meter, that was also broken. Today the gas company sent some people over to fix it, but they say they got to the building, rang the apartment, got no answer, and left. I was sitting by the phone waiting for them the whole time, so either they arrived at the wrong building or our intercom/phone device is not working.
Tomorrow they will try again. In the meantime, I can’t cook, nor is there any hot water here. I’m going to go take a shower at the local gym.
