Son of leaks

[avram]

Because I haven’t subbed to the CUGC mailing list, I didn’t get the news that Games Club had been cancelled, so I wound up taking a quick trip out to Union Square and back last night around 9 PM. On the way back I could feel the early stages of a depressive mood, and somehow I turned it back. The whole episode lasted maybe as long as it takes the Q train to cross the Manhattan Bridge (which is, by the way, my most favoritest stretch of the entire NYC subway system).

When I got home there was a message from the super’s wife on my answering machine. Gee, that only took eight hours! She said to call at his home number. So today I did, and he came up a few minutes later and looked the bathroom over, and then went upstairs and checked the apartment above mine. He said it looked like the ceiling would have to be torn out and a pipe fixed, which is about what I expected. The plumber will be over on Monday to check it out, and if that is indeed what needs to be done, the job proper will start on Tuesday. He didn’t say how long it would take, but it only took a few hours (once they got started) last time, so I don’t expect to be without a bathroom for a week.
