The Been Briefing

so last night i was just settling in to go to bed.... and suddenly i hear a loud pop. and then gushing water.
was it coming from my apartment? i didn't see any water... so where?
it wasn't the laundry room. the bathroom? oh yes, it was the bathroom. water was gushing out of the wall behind the sink. LOL. why me? i was just trying to go to bed. i was tired and sick. LOL.
upon further speculation, i found that a pipe beneath the sink had a gaping hole. i called esther even though we had just parted an hour ago. she came racing over and got it to stop pouring out. we had a good laugh. she is so great!
this morning i took a shower using a huge bowl to gather the water when it came gushing out from under the sink. when life hands you lemons, make lemonade! HAHAHAHA. you should have seen me. it was pretty ridiculous. but funny!
this morning mrs. kim had a repairman come over to fix it. when i open up the door, mr. repairman's eyes got really wide and he said, "you? you live here?" it was obvious he recognized me immediately. i smiled since i can't really talk, and i didn't know if it would do any good anyway. (mrs. kim says it is because i am so beautiful and he has seen me on the streets. LOOOOOL.) in any case, his english was minimal, but he tried to carry on a conversation, asking me if i was "teacher," "father - his job?," "mother - job?," "scuse me, you - old?" when i said "22" he shook his head. "young!" LOL. he finished fixing the pipe quickly, and left with a smile, bow, and goodbye.
such a sweet man. aahhh. all in a day's experience.
