So after a week of surviving no hot water, the guy finally came and put in a new thingy and now there is hot water again *__* I am absolutely thrilled. My roommate also cleaned my entire bathroom to make it up to me and it is completely spotless. I mean, I almost don't want to shower now 'cause it's so bright and pretty O_O. Makes me want to cover the walls up with plastic or something. In times like these, it's nice to be inconvenienced for a while so others feel guilty and do things to keep you happy ^__^ and yes I know how sadistic that sounded, but I can't help feeling that it's a good thing. People kept telling me to ask for a rent reduction this week and I hate solving things through monetary means 'cause that's kind of petty, in my opinion, whereas if you make it so people owe you a favor, you can use that anytime. And sometimes even better things happen.
Now someone might wonder what's so good about someone cleaning the bathroom for you. In my case, it's much appreciated 'cause I have to share that bathroom with everyone else and I haven't really been all that diligent with cleaning lately so it's been really tough to scrub out everything. Now that it's spotlessly clean, I'm going to have to try really hard to keep it that way, but if I scrub it down every time after I use it, I won't have much problem later down the line when I decide to move out. It's even cleaner than when I first moved in, that's how clean it is. And I have a photographic memory for details so I remember what it looked like when I moved in 'cause I had to personally clean it myself before using it and now it's like white, almost brand-new house-looking, even the carpet's cleaned O_O. Looks almost like she got the carpet washed or something, it's really nice. Extremely impressive, much better than a rent reduction, I got my labor cut out for me ^__^
So see, solving things through my method has more value than saving an extra $20. Now I don't have to use time and energy to clean something 'cause my time is worth more than $20.
