10, couldn't find your flood-post in the brief few moments I have, but sending you lots of stay safe and dry wishes.
Zan - You could always open a window or two, let the basement freeze, and turn it into an indoor skating rink.
Sadly, my one teeny tiny window doesn't open, and is covered with a thick coating of construction dirt and decades worth of grime, and they can't clean it because apparently some brilliant person decided to coat the glass with some substance full of PCBs, so it's like trying to look out on a dust storm:
And yes, today is day three of the foul stench, although it's slightly better than yesterday. Also, today was Staff Appreciation Day and they were taking all of us out to lunch, and everyone left without me, even though my office is right next to several of theirs. So yeah, feeling *deeply* appreciated at the moment.
Just a few.
Work irritations right now.
Then spousal irriations later.
I hear ya on the former, and am generally grateful I don't have to contend with one of the latter.
Yay, good for you! And yes, allergic-to-feathers me is very happy to keep my stupid foam
congrats!
