my place is soaked due to a plumber

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Vancouver, 2002.01.15

The plumber working in my bathroom knocked the hot water pipe off the bottom of my sink, jetting water everywhere. He managed to have the water cut off on the first floor somewhere, but everything's still soaked. And the smoke detector in the unit next to mine went off due to all of the welding (or whatever) that's going on in there; I know they've got a cat in there, I wonder how it like that high pitch tone (and the smoke). I envy the people who are away from the building during all of this!

I'm constantly amazed at how difficult it is to break free of the straitjacket of the immediately urgent.
