Plugged again

GRRRR! The kitchen sink is plugged up again today. Called Maintenance and they said they would be over after "saleh". This is prayer time, but we had three more prayer times to go during the day and I didn't know after which one a plumber would appear. So, waited after one prayer and called: "Yes, coming after saleh". Ok, so waited after the next prayer and now it was 3:30 PM. Haven't moved from the house, haven't dirtied anything that might need washing in the kitchen, and still no plumber. So, called again and got the wonderful response of, "INSHA ALLAH". This can mean between now and when I die! Not only was the sink plugged but also the toilet. So, it isn't a fun day here today. These plugs need the snake. There will be big time work for the plumber when he does arrive. And, our weekend is here and then the Eid when everyone is celebrating, so at this point I am anticipating clogs for a week.
Good news is that our car is back from the shop, but we are holding back from going out anywhere just in case a plumber shows up. I am not sure at all what their work hours are during Ramadan. They could show up at 10 PM, but certainly not before noon on Friday if at all on Friday. Maybe they will come on Saturday. Oh it is such fun.
We missed out on the U.S. Prime Rib dinner last night. They had run out of the steaks ahead of time, so we were reduced to the Saudi meat. We got the filet mignon with beef bacon. Remember, no pork is Saudi. Saudi meat is just not that good at all, especially when your taste buds are sitting up for U.S.A. beef. It was a fun social evening anyway, and that made up for the missing prime ribs.
