Footprints on the Moon

You probably recall me coming home from work a week and a half ago, and discovering that instead of fixing my shower, the maintenance guys merely put up a piece of plastic with some duct tape and promised to come back at some unknown point in the future. If you haven’t, you can read the story here. Well, a week and a half later, I still have plastic and duct tape in my shower, and haven’t even heard a whisper as to when they plan on coming back to fix it. So I decided to make it into a contest for all of you.

The first person to pick the correct date that they will come begin the actual work on my shower will win a $25 gift card for Bath and Body Works.

As of 7:40 a.m., Wednesday, July 23, 2008, there are no plans to begin work on my shower. That means you can pick any date between today and however long you think it will take. You can only pick one day. Pick any day you like, but I only have one gift card, so if you’re not the first person to choose a day, I can’t promise a prize. If it turns out that my shower languishes in plastic wrap, and I move out before it gets fixed, I will award the gift card to the person who chose the date closest to my move-out date. Bonus points if they actually fix my bathtub drain (properly!) at the same time.

Contest begins now, and ends when the shower tiles are fixed or I move out, whichever comes first! Good luck!
