Isn’t it amazing? Here I am, waiting for months for the workers to come and fix the leak in my floor (see my post “The Wait” for a first hint at some problems in my apartment), and yet nothing ever happens. Workers come and go (examining the damage, of course), but nothing ever happens. And then there is this fire. Which cracks my windows. And I’m preparing myself already that for the next couple of weeks or months I’ll have to live with a blackened and broken window. But guess what happened!

Right. The very next day workers come. And they don’t just come to inspect. They actually come ready for action, bringing with them a new pane and highly motivated to get things fixed right then and there!

So things can move fast here. If it’s the right kind of damage. I guess, soaking wet floors don’t count as as dramatic as fire damaged windows do!
