So, yesterday I go to catch the bus to get to work. As I'm waiting, the bus disappears off the app and then actually disappears, it never shows. So I say "Okay, I'll catch the other bus route. Sure, I've never taken this before, but it's a short walk and it's only a little drizzly out, how bad can it be?"

Welp, I stepped off the bus, the heavens opened up, I got totally drenched. I also got turned around, twice. What ought to have been an 8 minute walk was closer to 20, and the whole way I said "It's okay, I'll get there, go to the laundry room, strip naked, and spend half an hour drying my clothes. Nobody can fault me for this!"

I show up, and the first thing that L says to me when she answers the door is "The dryer is gone".

I'm not proud, but I cursed her out. And then apologized. And then cursed some more.

I found the ironing board but no iron, so I ended up spending half an hour using a hair dryer on my socks just to get them slightly less drenched.

I hope the rest of your workday was much better and that your next commute is easy!

Oh no!

[gwydion]

Aiyee!

Also, why was thr dryer gone?

[conuly]

Replacing it. I don't know why, it's the dishwasher that needs to be replaced!

Anyway, they got the new ones a day late, and with the wrong outlet, so....

It's horrible being stuck in wet clothes, especially socks and shoes.

Yeah, that's the gods having a chuckle at your expense.

Auuuugh, what a series, and yes, a cursing-out would make sense to happen there, after what led to it.
