Today made me not like being in France. I decided not to omit my frustration from this blog because it is also a legitimate part of my life here, and it deserves some forum of expression too.
So I waited all day for a call from the owner of my building as per the instructions of the agency. Around five something, the brother of the owner calls to ask about the problem and then just asks if he can come over and look at it. I say yes, and he is here in five minutes. He fiddles in the shower, and I try to explain that there is nothing to see here because it is leaking into the other apartment. I ask if he wants to talk to the guys downstairs, and he says no because it is up to my insurance to fix it.
He is gone without giving me any hint as to what I am supposed to do, and it is almost six o’clock when the bank/insurance place closes anyway. I wasted a whole day waiting on people to help me, and I got nothing fixed. I tried to look through my insurance papers, but I understand very little of what it says. I emailed my bank person to call me tomorrow, so I guess that’s all I can do for now. Besides not showering.
I also still don’t have a schedule for work. I cannot plan anything because I never know when I have to go in. This strike is ridiculous!
To sum up, I’m angry that there is no one to help me. I’ve never even dealt with insurance or apartment issues in the US where I can speak English to figure things out. I really hate not being able to understand everything is going on around me. Today was just a very bad day.
