that's fine. i was getting tired of counting anyway. :P
Saturday: you know, it was so long ago...
ah, yes, now i remember. i spent the morning doing a Taskrabbit gig, cleaning someone's house for a party they were having that evening. was good work, but ruined my favorite capri pants with bleach. damn. i guess that means i'll have to go shopping...
it was a dreary cold day, so on the way home i stopped and got some soup. when i came home the apartment was wide open, music blasting from the tv, lights on.....and no one home. #1's car was gone...WTH? about 2 minutes later her friend (whom i met the day before) waltzed in...
"Where's #1?"
"Oh, she left to get a massage. I'm putting the shelves in (the pantry)."
I head down to the basement to flip my laundry and hit the last step - SQUISH!!
?????
the basement had flooded.
i went back upstairs and asked him "any idea what happened in the basement?"
apparently the boiler exploded, sending water through the front half of the basement and through the radiator on the top floor (hence how she knew it happend). the boiler guy had already come and gone. i ran upstairs to see the damage in my room (since the bathroom is right next to my room) and thank goddess there was nothing. i decided to get into #2's room - she had flooding. i called her and left her a message:
"I dunno if #1 called you, so if she has, forget this message. if she hasn't, call me asap."
she called about 10 mins later and was heading home. no, #1 didn't call her (no surprise there). she was as pissed as i was.
#1 finally showed up about an hour later. when i asked her what happened, she said the boiler blew and that we probably weren't going to have heat/hot water until at least monday, maybe tuesday.
AND YOU WERE GOING TO TELL US THIS WHEN?!?!!?!?
i gotta get out of this place....
yeah, i didn't actually say that, although i should have. instead, i shut my mouth and called a friend to go to his place and take a shower.
hate her. hate her. hate her.
at least i had some fun later that evening......
there is a roaming art-thing that my friend invited me to a few months ago; people rent Uhaul trucks, create an art installation in them, then the all converge covertly in a place that they don't tell you about until it starts for people to come check out. the last time was ok, but they got busted which too the fun out of it. this time i was hoping it wouldn't happen again (the bust) and it didn't. the truck were ok, but there was one that was AWESOME - they build a ball pit!!!!!! just like the ones at chucky cheese, except for adults (and a futon mattress underneath). it was fun - i went through it 3 times. 5 of us could fit in there relatively comfortably.
I WANT ONE!!!
Sunday:
since we have no heat, i pulled out the heavy down comforter around 3am (insomnia wins again...or it might have been the icicle that was once my nose). i was warm and snuggled this morning when i woke up, so it was difficult to yank myself out of bed, but i had plans for the day. i was going to go plant myself in a coffee shop and send out 5 resumes and cover letters.
was there for 5 hours.
got 2 out.
ok, so not as productive as i had hoped, but i had to rewrite my resume, which took forever. and i did job search for about 2 hours of that. so now i've got 25 tabs with jobs open in my browser window to work on for the week. so i wasn't *totally* unproductive.
now i'm off to dinner with friends and hopefully an episode or two of Top Gear. i know there are no new episodes, but i just started watching it and they have ALL the seasons downloaded, so i'm sure we'll find something....
tomorrow: 4th grade. W00T!!!
