Things I Lack

This afternoon, I moved into the dorms for my summer job. These are supposed to be the new and improved dorms. I have found myself to be lacking:

- New toothbrush Once again I'll have to use the nasty old thing that is still in my bath bin.
- Pillow This typically enhances the sleeping experience. And my hair.
- Iron This typically enhances the ironing board's use.
- Water pressure The shower was kind enough to spit at me while I washed the hair, which reminds me of
- Face wash VERY NECESSARY AND DESIRED.
- Any semblance of control over the climate It's freezing in here, thanks to the automatic heat sensors, which sense my (already lower than normal) body temperature and batter me with invisible ice cubes, a.k.a. the air conditioner.
- Identification of the bug that I squished. I've never seen anything like it.
- Enough room between the bed and the ceiling to actually have room to sit. My bed is not only lofted above the desk, but it has also been hitched up to the highest level, which leaves a steady two feet for me to move around, but not sit up in any proper manner. But here's the kicker: the bed is actually so high that I have a problem with the
- Ladder, which does not actually reach the bed railing by a long shot. I tried climbing on the window sill, but literally could not reach my bed. Visions of me sleeping on a sofa in the lounge danced through my head. Finally I was able to pull the dresser out a few feet, so I can stand up, then HOIST my legs onto the mattress in the sky. To come back down, I have to squish my lungs while sliding through the air to the dresser again. I hope maintenance comes soon.

I may not survive the night.
