Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Thanks, guys. I like this doctor, and I'm already feeling better overall, so I have good hopes.

sarameg, think of it as an adventure...?

Lots of people paint over wallpaper. I don't know why, it's awful. It's just easier, I guess.

I will try Waze, just for Ichabod.

So I just spent the day being orientated . for a job I do at a place I do it at

argh in sympathy

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I once had to sit through an hour-long session on how to use the new photocopier.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I feel like I remember seeing ads for paint you could use over wallpaper, once upon a time.

Every home improvement/repair in my house is an adventure. I've accepted that. Comes with the years and changing standards, good and bad. (Good=better wiring and plumbing. Flat roofs, yeahno. Bad=lost arts like plastering which last 80 years, but are now spendy to restore. And this house is freaking solid, even with as much neglect as it has seen.)

And once I realized the plaster had to go, popping the rest off was fun! I'm a picker, I like peeling and scraping. (Yes, I was the kid who played with Elmer's and rubber cement to peel it off...)

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I once had to sit through an hour-long session on how to use the new photocopier.

We had to have an all-staff meeting to discuss where to place the new photocopier. This took 45 minutes. I am not making this up.

Yes, I was the kid who played with Elmer's and rubber cement to peel it off...

I totally did that!

I used to carefully peel the silver foil off the paper backing of chewing gum wrappers. I don't remember why.

Until I started doing fake nails, nail polish was a waste. I'd peel it off.(didn't help that my nails don't stick with polish well)

Regular nail polish makes my nails peel off in layers like an onion. I have to use the kind with no formaldehyde or tolulene. I rarely bother.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

As in Tom Mison doing Ichabod Crane giving you directions. This is glorious.

Aaaaaaaa I just installed this and he told me "in naught-point-one miles, turn your carriage to the right."

(Except I know from experience that I'll probably switch back to a computer voice after two or three annoyed drives where he doesn't read the street names. Also the help menu still answers in Android Siri.)

Maybe I'll have him tell me how to get to places I already know how to get to, just to listen to him.
