I worked at a place where I lived in a 30 + year old airstream travel trailer that had faulty wiring so we had no hot water l(ike ... it would spark and such when it was turned on and they could never find out the cause). In the summer when it was hot, a cold shower is nice but in winter ... NO! Luckily they had a bathroom with a heater and a shower in it that we used. But still, walking back and forth in the cold with wet hair also sucked 
Hahahah cervix poking is an accurate description. And not the fun kind.
Phone still hasn't rang, it's almost 3pm. I guess that's that.
ETA: well.
they just called.
and they did hire somebody else...
but they were so impressed with me, they want to hire me anyway. For something. They just don't know what yet. I offered to come in and talk to him and explore some options, and he said they are swamped with cap & gown season right now, but that he is going to put my resume at the side of his desk, and he is going to call me after cap & gown is over and we'll find something.
I... what.

It was not horrible. Expected grossness aside.
Oh, and they have you walk to the ultrasound room in your sheet. It's down a hall /around two corners. So that's sexy.

I know it isn't your decision/choices so this has nothing to do with you, but I'm just baffled as to when 'let's not pay that bill and just go without hot water' at some point became a viable choice (I really like hot water, lol. I would die. )
(I really like hot water, lol. I would die. )
They also don't pay the water bill until it gets shut off, so every 2-3 months or so we go several days without water until we can again, without warning, scrape money together to get it turned on. My brother and I live at home and are MORE than willing to help with bills however we can. We continually ask how much they need because if we could pay little bits each payday, it'd be fine. But they just shrug it off week after week until SURPRISE! WE NEED $300 FOR THE WATER BILL TODAY BECAUSE YOU CAN'T WASH YOUR HANDS UNTIL YOU PAY! Sorry, I can't pull money out of my ass with no notice. It's a WATER BILL. It's NOT that much each month. Just let us know and we'd take care of it!
Reason #587464 I need a full time job so I can move out. And all the better if I'm out of town.
In the middle of summer, the cold water straight from the tap is about 65-70 degrees, sometimes even more. I can tolerate that on occasion, though I still prefer not to. But right now it's closer to 40 degrees from the tap. NOPE. NOPE NOPE NOPE. However, I do boil two very large pots of water, start filling the tub with cold water, and add the hot water to it to make it warm. It's not a full bath, but it's enough to sit in and wash. If I want to spoil myself I'll also add in the tea kettle and a smaller pot so all the burners are going, then boil a second set after the first and really fill it up (remember, I've had 12+ years of practice!) But it's still not a shower. Hence the gym membership (honestly, when I first joined, a hot shower was my primary motivation).
I wonder how much the cost of running the stove every time someone wants to take a bath or do dishes plus the added cost of buying Cold Water Tide for laundry and liquid soap instead of bars for hand washing compares to the cost of just ****ing paying the gas bill each month? :wall:
Oh, and my dad drives a BRAND NEW car (and pays the associated cost of insurance and registration each year). It's a year old, and he's had it a year. I don't even...
