An upside to the rainy season?

I called my landlady. "There's no water--I came home, washed my face in the bathroom, and the water stopped. I can hear the neighbors' pumps running, so I think there's water in the system, but I don't have any of it."

"You mean you've used up the blue barrels of rainwater?"

"No, when I turn on the faucet, no water comes out. The pump doesn't come on. The filter has no pressure. No water."

"Oh, so there is water in the buckets?"

"Yes. I haven't been using it. All the buckets are full."

"Okay, then. You'll be okay tomorrow, and I'll call if i need to come out tonight."

And that's that. The water's off, so there's rainwater.

Welcome to Thailand.
