Pointing out the Obvious

[azurelunatic]

votania reviewed with me her shitty day yesterday, and was all frustrated at me.

"Put it this way," I said. "Even though I know you don't do this stuff, this is a Mercury retrograde, and lots of other people who aren't you are affected by it. During a Mercury retrograde, you really ought not to be doing stuff that requires communication with other people. Among the things you're not supposed to be doing? Big stuff like, oh, operations. ...You had an operation. And you're 100% OK. So I'm satisfied."

With that, we stalked off to throw away some garbage. She was amused.


In other news, good ol' B evidently has so many oil leaks that the guy changing the oil couldn't find them all, and this with an aluminum engine block.

Fuuuuuun.

Heh. Mercury and it's retrograde can break it off in it's ass, I tell ya. I'm all set with it, personally. Everything mechanical has broken in our house in the last week...

Heh.

I deal almost-fine with it, by myself. Anything that involves other people who I don't know heart-deep... bad.

Ayiyi. Why did I *not* think of that?

We've had three staplers at work go bazookies on us in the past three weeks. I mean, totally bezerk. One of them, an electric one, even started SMOKING on me today before we could pull the batteries out, because it got jammed in the ON position.

The first two have already been returned and replaced, of course. The third will be leaving our presence early next week. ;)

All these were different kinds of staplers. *sigh* I was blaming it on the person doing the ordering switching suppliers, trying to save a few bucks. NOW I know...at least I can have hope that it'll stop, then. :)

Oh, my.
