drip drip drip
The water was coming out of the light pretty quick there for a while. Maintenance man came, replaced my six-quart "dutch oven" (it's a saucepan with no handle, and a lid that can go in the oven, so dutch oven it is) with a big green bucket, had me switch off the kitchen-light breaker switch (side note: in my place, the outlet the TV was plugged into? on the "kitchen" breaker, so that video game I was in the middle of, yeah, I'll be replaying the last few levels - good thing it's a game I dig [and I'd done the hard stuff and saved before lunch]), and went upstairs to see what's what. He's been up there for a while now, and in good news, the water has slowed to about 55 drips per minute.
This has been one of the times I'm glad I rent. (But seriously, what is it with me and guys upstairs flooding their kitchens? Right? (with updates here, here, and here.)
[eta before posting: the water has now stopped. Mr Upstairs has just come down to apologize. Came home, stuff in the sink, started to clean up, and then suddenly WHAM!, water everywhere (stopped-up disposal), and The Girl Downstairs banging on the door on top of it all. I feel bad that he feels so bad. But, hey, it's not their floor that's going to get cut up if they have to replace my overhead light. (He agrees with me that the fact everybody's renting is a good thing at this point.) Maintenance man is back and has taken down the overhead light and is busily drying things very carefully and tapping to see where the water had got to and try to work out whether come Monday someone's going to need to cut up my kitchen ceiling.]
