Electrician update: there is sawing coming from the other room. I can only hope that this is helpful sawing, and not my kitchen island being converted into firewood.

It is now 7 pm. They have been working, on and off, since 9 this morning. At some point I would really like to (a) shower and (b) buy groceries.

supposedly, my electricians are on thier way..."any minute now" is the exact quote. 15 minutes ago.

Mine just told me it would be another half-hour. I'm not holding my breath.

yay an electrician!

Yes, that's what the book is really about.

I got nothing, Kat. According to IMDB, MT's the oldest of the first three cast members. At twentynothing.

I just... I can't...there are no words.

From Ice Princess to this? Wha?

electricians are talking useing words I don't know ---

however - reassureingly there are words like - remember - that was the old code, this is grandfathered in...

can I just say $$$$$$$

Okay...landlord just told me they were finished, EXCEPT that they appear to have disassembled a lightswitch that was working perfectly this morning, and have yet to put it back together. They have also taken the light fixture down off the ceiling, and have yet to put it back. So I'd say "finished" is a slightly strong word.

They've been here for eleven hours. Goddamnit.

how are the stove and light fixture related?

They're both in the kitchen.

Other than that? I have no idea. I don't care. I just want. them. to. leave.

I am with beth. There is a lot of unrelated shit going on, here.
