I had the wall of a hotel room fall on me once. There had been a flood upstairs, apparently. Huge chunk o'plaster, three feet across, WHOMP on top of me, my luggage, and everything else. When I called down to complain, the front desk had to audacity to tell me that they couldn't help me right away, but couldn't I just "kick it to the side for now?" Um. No. Got a room upgrade that night, yessiree.

This was in Ann Arbor. I've had a grudge against that city ever since.

I had a bathroom ceiling collapse when I lived in Montreal. The tap in the bathtub had a constant running drip of scalding hot water, and the landlord wouldn't fix it, so the room was basically a steam bath for a good four months before the ceiling finally couldn't take it. Was acutally kind of nice over the winter, since we didn't pay the hot water.

I have ten million fricking e-mails in my inbox, and potentially another clusterfuck of the kind that made me seriously think about walking off my job a few weeks ago. Nobody wants to go see Iron & Wine with me tonight. I am still exhausted from this weekend.

Today can kiss my ass.

Today can kiss my ass.

Frankly, that doesn't sound like a punishment, Shrift.

Nobody wants to go see Iron & Wine with me tonight.

I would go! Just give me five minutes to destroy the internet first.

shrift "wins" at work crap, but I have what seems like a few dozen things to do in my life before vacation, and vacation is less than 24 hours away.

- need cat feeder (maybe just got that covered)
- need to get keys to cat feeder
- need to get packed
- need to change sheets (cat feeder may be a sitter)
- need to de-hair duvet cover (see above)
- need to finish homework (mac)
- need to get money from bank
- need to call car service
- need to mail 2 things

I swear there was more.

Nobody wants to go see Iron & Wine with me tonight.

I'll go.

but first, I need to take a few people down. who are (A) Not Dana and (B) trying to destroy a small corner of the internet, using Ego as a Battleaxe.

Nobody wants to go see Iron & Wine with me tonight.

Hey, I totally want.

Wait, there's a transatlantic flight to bring into consideration. Shit.

Happy Earth Day Earth! Thanks for the gravity, atmosphere, and magnetic field!

Yes! Thanks for the water and the air and the not exploding.

It's the week for falling ceilings. Thankfully, my landlord actually responded and did a fairly good job of cutting way the messed up part of the ceiling and cleaning up after himself. So there's that.

Frankly, that doesn't sound like a punishment, Shrift.

Well, I'm violently angry right now, so I can't guarantee that anyone who touches my ass will make it out of the experience alive.

I would go! Just give me five minutes to destroy the internet first.

I'll just suck it up and go by myself. I imagine it will be a mellow concert, so I'll be fine. t sigh

The internet, however -- how about we destroy it together? I'm seriously considering printing up a T-shirt that just says "NO." for Dragon*Con.
