Some things are always the same

Seems like maintenance men are exactly the same here as they are everywhere else in the world. I was nicely informed yesterday that in order to repair the ventilation system, access to my apartment would be needed between 7:30 and 15:00 (yup, nice narrow time frame there...). This was also timed with a day I have no class, so my hopes of a cosy sleep-in while the snow fell outside were quickly shattered.
So this morning I sleepily answered the door to a very cheerful man who came in, turned the ventilation above the stove on, said “We’ll be back in twenty minutes”, and left...it has now been 3 hours and 20 minutes.
