Laundry

I absolutely hate doing laundry here. You have to buy tokens from the Hausmeister during his office hours of 18.00-20.00h Mondays only. The tokens cost 3€ for each washer load and 1€ for dryer. The dryer fits about 3 times more stuff (at least) than the washer so if the prices were reversed it might make more sense.

But my biggest issue with the laundry is that it's in the basement of another building. The buildings are connected but I have to walk into building 12 which doesn't really keep it's hall lights on. The lights are on timers but in 12 they are very short times and you could be halfway down the hall and the lights go out... plunging you into total darkness in an already rather creepy building. But the laundry is behind a couple more locked doors at the back of a creepy hallway in the basement... those lights are also on timers and I know to just hurry as much as possible when doing laundry. I'm just very scared that the lights will turn out when I'm in the laundry room and I have to just feel my way back to the outer door with the light switch. Of course, I also got quite startled by another person coming into the room to do his laundry... I may have scared him more than me when I jumped.

Ah well, I've already done two of the three required trips... and I think I finally figured out the dryer--full-Sun should be heat... right? Otherwise I'll just hang all my clothes throughout my apartment again.
