>Punctuality: what the hell is that?

>Molly’s toilet broke.

That’s okay, I told her. My window lock fell off when I touched it. My little oven does not close all the way. And my closet is not big enough to hold that body so the door just won’t close all the way. It’s okay.

But it did break, so she told [administrative person], who said someone would come over at 2 that afternoon.

Molly had plans that day, a life to live, but since [administrative person] told her they would be there at 2 to fix her toilet, she waited.

And waited.

And waited.

From 1:30 that Friday until 1:30 today, she has waited for them to come. No one has shown up. And no one from the office has said a word to her either.

Perhaps this is just a little lesson in self-reliance.
