Showers

I live in a two story building with 19 girls and 7 showers. 19 to 7 sounds pretty good, until all of the showers decided to break. For the last three months at least four of the showers have had problems with water pressure, one downstairs is so hard that it hurts and three others are barely trickling (not even hard enough to get my hair all the way wet). I had just gotten resigned to the poor water pressure, since we have asked facilities to it three times and they haven't gotten around to, it when the hot water heater that heats four (the four that were actually working previously) of the seven showers broke. Then there were three broken showers, 19 girls, and a leak in the ceiling. Thankfully facilities took us seriously and worked on the water heater for two days straight (didn't bother with the water pressure). It was very exciting when it started working again. Not even five hours later the water heater that controls the three other showers broke and the pressure in the other showers started sputtering. Might I just say, that it is rather entertaining to watch 19 girls who do not have any working showers. (Thankfully I found a working shower to use today, and I can not even begin to describe how wonderful it was to actually have pressure)

Where did you find a working shower? I thought the post was going to end with "I can't wait to get home!"

A couple of the showers on the other side of the building started working again... Think they were only having problems getting restarted after getting the water heater replaced... it took them a day to warm up
