Christ on a cracker...

Above my store are a couple of apartments and a few weeks ago one of them had a leak in the kitchen and it seeped through leaking on our ceiling (there's a space between the concrete and our actual ceiling, which is where all the electric stuff for the lights and music is). It was only minor, and though we did have a few spots on our ceiling, it was managable. I had been in contact with the housing agency who the apartments belong to and that was that. Or so I thought. A week later it I discovered new spots on the ceiling and had to call them again. Once again they assured me it was fixed until I again saw fresh spots on the ceiling a few days after that. Now I was pissed! I demanded to speak to the guy who actually owns the apartments instead of someone on his staff and demanded he come look at it himself. He did, and he spent about a thousand bucks on repairs. I got his personal word that it was completely fixed this time.

So I walk into the store yesterday and to my horror I discover that a couple of those spots had started to sag. Not only were there a few spots now, it was one big spot, right above all my expensive dvd's. I called them immediately and started swearing till my face was blue. They came over to inspect a ****ing 4 hours later and said they couldn't do anything, the owner had to stop by himself first. He said they would turn this into an urgent job. No kidding! Now it's 26 hours later and he still hasn't stopped by. And guess what, about an hour ago part of the ****ing ceiling came down. The largest piece fell about 2 feet away from where a customer stood. Plus, there's a BIG tear in the concrete that goes from side of the store to the other and all there's water falling on top of the lights and the speakers.

Ofcourse, now it's Friday night and I can't reach anyone at the office there. I just spent an hour cleaning everything up, but there's a pool on the floor and I can't do anything to stop it, short of putting buckets underneath it, which is impossible since it's right where everyone walks. People are actually getting wet walking around the store. Gah, I'm so pissed right now. I'll wring that guy's neck as soon as I see him.

Thanks for letting me vent.
