Jesse, I'm pretty sure you and a water cooler wouldn't work out.
'Smile Time'
Natter 72: We Were Unprepared for This
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I think I just got hit on by the water cooler?
It suggestively glug-glugs every time you walk by?
Stupid English -- I meant NEAR the water cooler. The water was polite and standoffish as always.
Ha, I was totally imagining some digital talking water cooler that creepily greets people.
ION, I am off work today! And NOT volunteering at school at all today! So between now and 3:30 pm I can do whatever I like!
I told this to Casper and said, "What should I do?" and she said, "Laundry!" Which I am doing, yes. I will probably also vacuum the living room so I can sit around all day admiring the non-crumby rug. I might get crazy and take out the recycling as well.
I'm pathetic.
So ABalGENSTABSEA is up and open - go read Press - So all I want to do now is wait for sign ups and do this all day. I am not sure work is going to appreciate that.
Woo, flea! Get down with your bad self.
I'm imagining a secret network of water coolers where they discuss all the gossip they overhear, etc. Just because they don't talk to us doesn't mean they don't talk...
Rugs!
So this cotton rug is a lot cheaper than this wool rug, but will I regret getting the cotton one? Will it disintegrate after a year? Is it harder to keep clean?
Cotton attracts dirt and wool naturally repels. If it's going where there will be foot traffic, go wool.
Wool will last a lot longer than cotton, but cotton lasts fine. I have a cheap flat-weave cotton rug that we got when Casper was born and it's been washed in the washing machine at least once (which is a no-no, but, you know) and it looks fine. I sometimes wish it would die so I could get a better rug, you know? It's been 10 years!
