Cos this icon? expresses my feelings exactly. I am using it with
_skye_'s permission, cos it was created just for her, by an amazingly talented friend of hers whom I would like to credit too, only skye's LJ is down and I don't remember his/her name. Wah. Will credit next time. ETA The talented friend is
carneggy.
So. I am sitting here, waiting for files to arrive per email (I am supposed to do revision work on a translation that is due today), and whenever I look at my watch it gives me a nasty jolt, what, so late already? But, but, I am not available tonight from 3:00 pm onwards! I have to do this now! Wah!
Also, I am starting to think that choosing an amphibian screename was a tactical mistake.
The water was cut for a while yesterday it appears, and when I came back in the evening I had an interesting conversation with our very old plumbing.
rainette *opens tap a bit*
tap *sputters feebly*
rainette: Oh, come one. *opens wider*
tap *coughs pathetically*
rainette *opens all the way* I SAID: COME ON!
tap: ker-ker-ker-KERSPLASH!
rainette *gasps as is hit by a faceful of cold, brown water*: eeeep
Froglet and Tadpole *arrive at full speed, and giggle*
Froglet: Mom, you're all wet.
Well, yes. Like I hadn't noticed.
And then, this morning, as I was only half-awake, I tried to wash Tadpole's potty and got a bucketful of cold water dumped on my head before I actually realized that the shower/tap thingy was still set on shower (thank you, Husband, thank you very much indeed). That goes to show that cold water doesn't make you think any faster. It's not even recommended to wake you up, cos ack, crankiness galore.
If anyone looks for me, I'll be drying my hair.
*checks mail for one-hundredth time in the past half-hour* WAH! STILL NO FILE *sobs*
