Temple of Kraden News: Welcome to the Temple of Kraden! ------ All worshipers may enter the Most Holy Place in single file, reflecting on the bountiful blessing Kraden hath provided unto him or herself since their last visit. Head coverings are not necessary, as true penitence and humility are found within. The Priests and Priestesses of Kraden endeavor to remind all that fresh orange juice is heavily preferred; only whores use frozen.
Greetings, heathen. Perhaps some fortuitous blessing of Kraden's grace hath led you to our humble Temple, or perhaps you are simply curious about this strange and wonderful cult. Should you be willing - and dare to hope - to achieve enlightenment, the door opens before you. Lo! Leave your old life behind! For once you step through, you become something more than just yourself.

You become a Kradenette.

Are you willing to make the rapturous plunge? Do you have what it takes?

Three hours ago:

"Okay, so, it's time to get ready for work! First thing's first - shower time."
*goes to turn on water for shower. Nothing happens*
"...Wut? Uhh..."
*tries sink faucet. Nothing*
...
*goes to front desk*
"Oi, my water's not working. Any clue why? I don't recall missing any payments, you know..."
"Oh, yeah... they're doing some emergency work on the water, so there's not gonna be running water for a while."
"How long?"
"No clue."

Feeling icky, thinking I stink, I have to go to work anyways for the safety meeting. Otherwise I get fired. Upon finishing it, I return to the front desk at the apartment complex.

"Can I has running water now?"
"It doesn't look like it'll be ready for a day or two. Sorry."
...
...
...
(ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻

Are you kidding me? I feel like ick NOW! I wanna take a bath already! I have to wait a couple DAYS?!

I have to WORK tomorrow! Hygiene is important for my job, as I have to handle food and talk with customers and stuff like that! What the hell?!

Is there a public pool somewhere close? They have showers there. That or a friend's house will help. I'm sure that a neighbor wouldn't mind you using their shower either.

But either way, that still sucks.

Let's just wait and see what happens.

Find a friend with running water? If it's bugging you THAT much, it's probably in your best interest to do so.

Sound the horn and call the cry: "How many of them can we make die?"

I hate not being able to shower in the morning. Feels disgusting.

But yeah, I'm sure a neighbor or friend wouldn't mind letting you use their shower?

Nothing to siege here, move along.

What's this about neighbors? APARTMENT COMPLEX. Which probably means the water is off for EVERYONE. The other suggestions are workable tho.

By neighbors I mean people living nearby but in a different building.

Okay, I'll ask a friend. Hey, simple, you don't mind if I borrow your OH RIGHT I'M A LOSER AND ALL MY FRIENDS ARE ONLINE.

Furthermore, I live nowhere near a pool, so I can't do that... Not to mention that they don't open until next month, IIRC...

By the way, the neighbors idea? The whole complex is one big refurbished hotel. That ain't gonna work.

What about your family, Role? Unless yours sucks as much as mine, or they live in a different city/state/etc, it shouldn't be an issue.

Thus my rage. I feel so unclean... and it's only gonna get worse!

@Family: Yeah, they're a few towns over. That's gonna be a no go unless I stay over, and that's not happening - I have to work tomorrow.

-Hand cupcake and sniffles-

Wow, I-I like showering at night, but...
This is something totally...
I don't even know what to say, words can emphasize sympathy really.
I'm sorry, that blows, more than I've ever experienced or will have to experience.

This makes me feel like crap knowing I can't help, at all.

I thought it was implicit that this would be a friend. >_> Pardon me if I didn't spell it out clearly enough.

Try a highschool's showers after class?

You could explain your problem to them there.

Happens in Ecuador a lot. Although we usually get a warning. Though sometimes it's: '*flushes toilet* *goes to wash hands* *no water* 'FFFFFFFFFFFFFF NO ONE FLUSH THE TOILETS GODDAMIT WAIT I ALREADY DID FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF' *goes to use hand santizer*

I am glad I always have hand sanitizer. Always.
