Air conditioning adventures

These people here never cease to amaze me.
Especially in regards to technique.
Today I had the guys here that fix and clean ACs.
They cleaned the main filter, left a big mess as usual.
Regarding my question if they clean the outlets in the single rooms, I get a “No".
Why does that not surprise me?!
After they left I went downstairs to my friend the accountant.
There they are, three guys sitting on Couch and chair, doing smalltalk.
It’s close to prayer time and Lunch break.
Me: Hi, who usually does the cleaning of the AC in the single rooms?
Mr. accountant: Huh?
Mr. accountant 2 (one that I didn’t particularly liked up to today, but hey, one can change her mind, no
): The guys from the AC company, they just have been here.
Me: Really?! I know, they told me, they don’t do that.
Mr. a2: We send them back up.
OK, back up I go and wait.
In comes Mr. Boss Harris (the guys that take care of all kinds of stuff in this complex) and the Harris from our tower. Both nice guys.
They tell me the company already left and Mr. tower Harris would clean the fans.
Really?
We walk around and it dawns on them that I really mean ALL OF THEM and that THEY ARE DIRTY.
Anyhow.
Mr. Boss Harris asks me, if I have something to wipe the fans with and Mr. tower Harris is ready to grab my broom.
That’s the moment I get close to a Panic attack.
That I didn’t push them out of my apartment when Mr. Boss Harris comes out of MY kitchen with a kitchen towel is all.
You know, those fans are above furniture, Computers and all kinds of things……
So, they leave, I calm down a bit and go downstairs again.
By now there are close to 7 guys in that office. My friend, Mr. Boss Harris was one of them.
Sigh.
I don’t even talk to the guy I usually talk to. I talk to Mr. a2 and ask him friendly, if in a big Complex like this one, he really tries to tell me that I am the only one that ever asked to get those fans cleaned?!
Got them talking and thinking for 5 minutes, but I got a result.
The company comes back on Thursday, with a machine to do the cleaning of those fans or whatever you call them.
We will see what kind of a mess THEY will leave me in…..

Yepp, Linus, one of my favorites.
It's another Kuwait story,......
Still on my old blog - the bottom part is about the feet
AC story
That AC is an ongoing story though..... I'm missing the one with the droplets coming out of the fan, maybe I didn't write about it.
you should just buy a nice big piece of ice and leave it in your room! problem solved!
