How many Alison's does it take to change a lightbulb?

I am absolutely mortified to tell this story but...
Last night the light went out in my bathroom. I tried to change the lightbulb for about 20 minutes and was completely unsuccessful; I couldn't even get the bad one out of the socket. I was cracking up to myself the whole time thinking how silly it was that I can't even change a lightbulb.
So I got to the office today and told our office manager guy and he will go to my house and change it for me. Previously he has also gone and fixed my gas stove, screwed in a shelf that was falling down (I have no clue where to buy tools) and helped me with an ant problem. I feel so helpless and silly sometimes; but the really funny part it that it is completely logical to him that I would ask him to do these things; its like how everyone thinks it is kind of odd that I don't have a cook. I would except that the cooks here will cook enough for a family of 5 for just one person so the food would go to waste...plus I don't have a microwave to warm things up.
Oh well.
We just ran out of water in the office again. Always an adventure. Still haven't run out at home (knock on wood).
