no agua caliente...

you would think that a brand new building would have brand new plumbing.  not necessarily.  my condo building - which was just completed less than a year ago -has been without hot water for no less than ten times since i moved in.  after each instance, my condo board alerts fellow tenants that "the water pump failed again, but they came this evening and everything should be back to normal now."  

however, i woke up or this morning and not only was there no hot water, but the cold water felt even colder than it usually does.   i didn't shower today, so if anyone is reading this (no one) who plans on seeing me today, be warned my hair is oily and matted down, and i smell a bit rancid.
