• how exactly does one manage to get argyle wrinkles on a shirt? - lost in translatn
  • You just wash it, leave it in the dryer for like three days, and then fold it and stick it in a drawer. Easy.

Day 65: Need a volume knob

At 9:00 this morning I was having a strange dream. I dreamed I was standing out front of the house while a man with a very strong Southern accent was berating someone else nearby. His voice was about a 9.5 on the Fran Drescher Annoyingness Scale.

I finally woke up when someone banged on the front door. I realized that this guy, with this horrible voice, really was standing out front. He wasn't berating anyone; he just talks, all the time, in this hyper-aggressive, deafening tone.

I opened the door. "WE'RE HERE TO WORK ON THE HOUSE," the guy said.

"I know," I told him, "I heard you hollering out here all morning."

So things didn't get off to a great start. He and his work crew had shown up, at 9:00 on a Sunday, to do some work on the house. I don't know what they're doing, but it apparently involves banging as hard as they can on the exterior of this brick house with hammers all day. It's deafening.

Think it's time to get out for a while...

    That sucks. If someone woke me up this morning at 9 am, I would have made them help me clean my house.

    Strange! I had a similar experience this morning. My front doorbell started ringing at about 8:30 this morning. I just ignored it...it kept ringing and ringing and ringing until finally I got up and it was my landlord coming to work on the water heater....douchebag!

    Good lord, I feel you. Why, with the banging? Why do they have to BANG? Couldn't they just be quiet?
