The refrigerator repair man guy came… AGAIN… for the fourth time in as many weeks. The diagnosis? The thermostat.
“Um… is that normal?”
“No.”
“Did we do that?”
“Doubt it.”
This was the very annoying, non-talkative repair guy. The first guy chatted with me the entire time; this guy barely says ten words. The Porkchop thinks I don’t like him ’cause he won’t flirt with me… which, OK, might be a smidge true, but I mean, COME ON, you are in my house for almost an hour and you don’t want to talk at all?
That seems very irrational to me.
My laptop has now jumped to the front of the line in the saga for the worst-appliance-in-the-apartment. A couple of weeks ago both batteries (I kept a backup) died completely. I put in an order with Apple and planned to have no problem working, seeing as how it’s supposed to work using the power cord.
Litany of issues: a) my computer doesn’t like only using the cord and routinely shuts down completely—for no f—ing reason, b) this always happens when I am editing twelve images at once (and haven’t saved) or am composing some sort of nonsense for someone (again, not having saved), c) which means I have to save every two seconds (or when I remember… erm) and c) since they no longer make Powerbook stuff, I am still waiting for them to ship the new battery—and as of yesterday, that won’t be for another one-two weeks.
Sweet. mother. of. all. that. is. holy.
In up news, I spent part of the day catching up on all things Moo-in-NZ and am happy to report he’s still just as funny and just as unlucky in love.

LOVE the SUNFLOWERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Maybe wendykat needs my cell # just in case you forget your cell or to plug her P# into your cell. Or better yet, maybe Porkchop should have the P# in his cell!!!!
