# Grrrr
The lights above my desk are wired on the same circuit as the meeting room (god knows why) - I basically have no control over whether I sit in gloom or bathed in stasi-style interrogation lights.

It's getting really annoying with them flicking on and off unexpectedly every time there is a meeting :(

I think I might just take the bulb out and use a desk lamp instead.

*off to find ladder*

# We have no control over our
central heating. Not quite as annoying, but nearly.

# Our shower still isn't fixed.
I'm currently getting up 1/2 hour earlier to run a thin, trickling bath every morning.

# no no
the shower works fine, as do all the taps. It's the water supply that's fucked - it just randomly runs out sometimes, particularly in the mornings.

# well, it started after they moved in.
They probably broke it.

And I hate them anyway 'cos their kids scream.
