Ah yes, my long drop toilet never ceases to bring constant excitement into my life.
So here is the story today. After begging and reminding my supervisor to call the people who empty long drops, she did. I was told that they would come on the 10th or 11th. Which is a lot better than the month long wait I had to do last year, but I was still waiting until it was finished before making any statements. But today, after I was finished a class at the junior high school, I looked out an the truck was in front of my house. Doing my yay something was done before schedule instead of a month later dance, I was pretty happy. I went home after I finished classes to get my car to drive to the board of education for the rest of my day. I stopped inside my house to check if the good news was true, found a bill for the emptying services, 680 litres had been removed (EEEEWWWWW) and it would cost me $50. Fair enough. I went into my bathroom, flipped up the lid, and there was the same amount of toilet paper stuff there as yesterday and the days before. Thinking that maybe it was a pre bill before they did it on the 10th, I brought the bill and the news to my supervisor. After the whole office had discussed my toilet situation, she drove me back to my house so that she could see for herself. Yes, the toilet is still full, what are we to do? So after calling the office, everyone had decided to pour some water down it to see if it was just toilet paper and the rest of it was empty. Did that. Nothing. So second phone call, try a plunger. I don`t have a plunger. Do you have anything that could act as a plunger? Um... I do have a rotting gardening rake in my front yard. So we get out the rake and with the falling apart handle, I try pushing the wad of paper down, which was truly disgusting. Then it all fell, and the two of us stood there, wondering what to do with the rake. I went to go get a plastic bag to wrap around the bottom, and told my supervisor to hold it. When I got back she was GAGGING from the smell. And as I stepped in there, so was I. So I was trying not to throw up, and wrap a bag around the bottom at the same time. But we got it done. Both still gagging and coughing well after we left the house. And yes, the toilet is empty, which is the happy part of the story. And my supervisor, for two seconds, got to see what it was like to be in my bathroom. Good learning experience all around. Of course right after they empty it, is the strongest smell times, but still.
But that is done. And after lunch, we are off to go to the hospital together. So much bonding today. Cause I want to get blood tests done, cause it still hurts a bit. Not that good.
Okay, happy indoor plumbing to you all!
