Exactly the same. No joke, my air conditioning unit was broken for three years too. It would leak and soak up the floors, but it's not something you'd notice directly. Even though I stopped using it, the water damage got so severe the floors started to cave in and for the last year, I'd have to walk around holes in my hallway and bathroom. I bought a portable air conditioner for one room, which I already only stayed in the living room anyway. My kitchen, gross. I did have a decent job, though for the past five years (finally lost it two months ago). I worked third shift in a warehouse, and I was only able to keep it for that long simply because of their attendance policies. You didn't have to call in if you were late or not coming in at all or could leave early as long as you had the time to cover it, and I always managed to have just enough. Plus, I was lucky to have people in management who liked and looked after me and since I was a hard worker, they'd let some things slide that could have cost me my job. But, that finally ended. I also rarely take showers, but also rarely stink. Several people have made comments about how I have no scent. I was always afraid maybe I do stink but just didn't notice it, but that wasn't the case. I used to be someone who had to take at least two showers a day. I once went six months without one. I'd still wash my face, neck and any part of me that was showing about once a week, but didn't take a full shower. And believe me, I am grossed out by all this too. I think it's disgusting too, and yet, I couldn't change it. I was forced out of that environment only because I was getting evicted. I did manage to clean up some before I left but they are still not too happy.. but they have nooo idea how much worse it could have been. I've been living with my dad for a little over a month and I've taken two showers. Yay me.
