Howard's First Week in LA

every day except Sat: Neighbor's alarm goes off at 5:30 AM, then they hit the snooze bar, and it continues to go off every 5 minutes for over an hour more
Sun AM: No hot water. Building's water heater is broken. No water at all in the shower, and no hot water all day.
Mon: Howard works at home all day. But there's no water at all the entire day (until evening). Can't wash fruits or salad. Howard assumes that they are working on the hot water heater, but that's only a guess.
Tues: Downstairs neighbor's loud alarm goes off (for a very long time) around 3 AM. Neighbor later leaves a note on several apartment doors apologizing for waking neighbors.
Wed: Howard awakens around 4:45 AM and begins reading. Within 5 minutes the lights flicker and go off. When they come back on, all the clocks in his apartment are blinking with "12:00" and he hears an alarm coming from a neighbor's apartment.
Thurs: A little before 5 AM a neighbor's alarm goes off. Apparently the neighbor isn't home, because the alarm continues for about half an hour. Lights go on in other neighbors' apartments, everyone wondering why the alarm continues to sound.
later Thurs: Howard returns to the Bay Area for the weekend, not very enthused about apartment life!
