My co-worker M reeeally came through for me yesterday. He helped me look for the fusebox. It took us over an hour since it was cleverly hidden in the building next door behind a fridge in the basement up on the roof. When we got the lights on he showed me how to magically operate the hot water tank. I think it's criminal to rent out a flat to a Swede without telling her "OK Rome is a developing country of its own and you cannot have the crazy luxury of hot water and the washing machine on at the same time".
This morning the light bulb in the bathroom went pfffblinkpp! and died when I flipped the switch but today I can handle it no problemo. Not on the verge of tears hooray!
The flat is still gross and in dire need of cleaning but I think I've got used to it. Or maybe it's because I'm never there - yesterday I went out for aperetivos (9 euros for a beer!) and this evening there will be drinks in celebration of my Aussie flatmate's birthday. Good way to avoid cleaning I say.
Ciao!

Det verkar som du har fullt upp med att bli en Världsmedborgare. Det känns skönt att du är vid gott mod och tar det hela med en klackspark och låter livet föra dig vidare.
Älkskar Dig P
Thanks for the support!

Did you ever see the movie "under the Tuscan sun"?
It would make you feel a bit better about being new in Italy and coping with house "issues".
Keep smiling
