Why am I so freaking determined to do it myself? Am I really nervous or afraid to ask my maintenance people to help? I don't know what my problem is... I just know my shower is acting all crazy and I'm determined to fix it myself. Just like I managed to hang my own curtains, recaulk my tub, and assemble my table and chairs. I have never been someone to ask for help. I don't know if it's stubborn or independent or just plain stupid.
I stepped in my shower the other morning and the water pressure had quadrupled! I was nearly blown through the wall, and by the end of the show I was standing in 5 inches of water, because it's coming out faster than it will drain! So I changed the shower head. Easy enough. It worked for 2 days, then it was the same crazy water pressure again! WTF? So, now I'm convinced it's something to do with the complex, not my shower head. But, I don't want to alert them because I've switched the shower heads, and when I put the original back on, it merely dribbles. Now I'm confused. So what do I do? Buy a different shower head! I've now dumped at least $15 into shower heads and I'm crossing my fingers this one works. If not, need a new shower head? I've got a few...
Needless to say, if it doesn't work, I've got to call my complex. I need to realize there is nothing wrong with asking for help, or getting someone who actually KNOWS what they're doing to fix something! I think I try to control everything in my life so much, I don't even think of asking someone to lend a hand. And then when I do, I feel like I'm really putting them out. I shouldn't. I mean, they'll let me know if they can't do it, right? Aren't I always willing to help someone? Why do I think I deserve less? I vow to ask for help when I need and not feel guilty about it. At least, I'll try.
i'm calling your complex for you. someone needs to get to the root of this situation.
