A:The air conditioning is not working! We need to call a handyman before we start to fry in here! B:Dan is on top of that. I think they are also getting the handyman to fix the bathroom toilet that keeps clogging up. A:That would be convenient. They might as well ask him to fix the electrical wiring. The circuit breakers keep going out all the time. It’s really annoying! B:Yeah you are right. This office is falling apart! Frank told me the other day that the gutters outside were clogged and that’s why the parking lot was flooded. A:I know! I was in ankle deep water trying to get to my car that day!
