He initially just put some cardboard and duct tape over it, but then noticed some more major cracks running up the window so suggested that he could board it up as it might be a few weeks until a glazier comes to replace it.
I called emergency maintenance, because it does qualify as an emergency repair (even though he came to “fix” it on Wednesday and I just didn’t notice…). And the bloke who fixed it was from… Drumroll… McPeake!
He was actually pretty chill though, called the bloke an idiot, and said that he absolutely should not have even come to “fix” it without notifying anyone. Technically he did notify me, he said on Tuesday he’d come by the next day to fix it. But he still should’ve knocked, and he absolutely should not have just tried to do a runner after breaking the window. Tosser.
Window fixed, or rather, secured

Unreal. It’s amazing what people think is okay.
