Talking in tongues

Still no plumber. Am stuck at home. Am bored. And cannot stay at computer because cannot hear bell from here. Gah.

Have called service to ask for plumber.

Service answering system: for services in French, press 2.
la rainette *is lazy and presses 2*
Service representative: Hello?
la rainette: Bonjour.
Servie Representative: Oh, I'm sorry, I don't speak Italian.
la rainette: ?

Do you like the feel of grass under your bare feet, when it's gorged with water? Do you like it when cool water comes up, just a little, and tickles your toes when you walk?

Well. Try out the carpet in my basement then. That's how it feels right now.

BWAHAHAHAHAHA!! That is great!
Sorry about the lack of plumber, though, that's not cool.
Hope your carpet gets unsoggy soon!

He's called! He's been delayed, but should be here in half an hour plumber time, so that's, what, 2 hours from now?

Eh. Timezones.

Plumber time, translated--a short guide

1/2 hr--tomorrow
Tomorrow--next week sometime
Next week--You will never ever see us again. In fact, by plumber space-time continuum rules, we do not actually exist.

Exception--if you leave your house for any reason, even if it's to go to the corner store for milk for ten minutes, we will appear out of thin air and leave a regretful note on your door that we will not be in your area again until the next governmental administration.

*giggles* I should print that out and stick in on my fridge. It's SO TRUE! Also, it's true in all the countries I've lived in...
