Wednesday, January 25, 2006 I live here now
Content challenge limps on, but as always, ain't nobody make you read. I am sitting in my workplace long after my shift is over, because the wireless here works way way better than it does in my own home. Also, there are men in my house putting in a new bathroom floor to replace the wreck the old one had become. They are a comedy team. The head guy's job is to fix stuff while telling jokes, and the other two guys hand him things while telling jokes, usually at the head guy's expense. I didn't see this bit firsthand, but also one guy's job is evidently to sing Depeche Mode songs to annoy another guy who hates Depeche Mode.
The head guy and I are old buddies, because I've been calling the landlord since August to get the house fixed up in different ways, and more often than not, they put me through to the head guy, who tells me that he would be happy to fix my house, if only the landlord would let him. I tend to believe him. We have had this conversation about so many problems with the house that when I answered the door to let him in the other day, he said, "Oh, you're Cara? I finally get to meet you!"
Meanwhile, I finally get to have my toilet be stored in my bathtub while the comedians put new tiles down and fix different holes in the wall that other, non-amusing maintenance teams have put in the walls and ceiling. It is inconvenient, but I just look at it as another prank the humans have played on the cats. posted by Frenzy Lohan | 1/25/2006 04:16:00 PM
