Today was an amazingly good day till I got back to the flat. As i walked in very apologetically my little portero security guy pointed out the Water Comapny have turned off my water for NON PAYMENT of the 2 month 10.00 UK sterling Bill !!! Last month they didnt send me a bill because they were investigating the lower water usage .. well its going to be even lower this month cos they have shut it off!!!
When I arrived back i had the water bill sitting but due to a touch of bad luck the pay by day had expireed by 1 day, I tried paying the bill online and at the cash machine but the system said no.
Knowing how legalistic this society is I went into the school and said to the administration "What do I do ?" Javier the deputy director said oh we need to get that paid since if we dont in 3 days they will cut off your water BUT don't worry pay us the money and we will send someone down to do it. Whew thats a relief I thought. Stupid to think that anything can get done here if you dont actually do it yourself.
So here I am late on a Thursday night and I have NO water I can't shower, flush the loo or wash the dishes to say I am pi**ed off is an understatement. I tried calling the school but they had "gone home" so I have emailed and will be in their office first thing in the morning.
My concern is that getting the water switched back on this close to a weekend might be a big problem, however I have stated categorically in the email if they can't get it sorted tomorrow I insist they organise a hotel for the weekend I am not living without sodding water when it is not my fault the bill hasn't been paid !
So what was actually a really good day turned into a pain in the a$$. I am just hoping the thought of paying out for a hotel for 2 nights will fire them up and ensure they get something done, that said the weekend in a hotel with a BATH !!! would be a hell of a treat.
Isn't it weird though I am sitting here wanting a shower and only because I know I cant actually have one !!!
lets see what happens tomorrow.
