So I didn’t get to my new SEO Monday post. I’ll try again tomorrow. No, today I had to go to the laundromat again, and hopefully for the last time since tomorrow….
The Electrician Is Coming!
He’s coming to install the four pronged plug that I need for my dryer that has been sitting in my garage for the last year and a half. Not only is he going to be installing my dryer (he doesn’t know this yet but indeed he will be moving the dryer from the garage to the basement and carrying the old one out) but he is also going to be the bearer of light in my house. I’m so excited about this I could pee.
So I have to make sure the house is in tip top shape for the coming of the electrician. I can’t afford to offend him by my unkempt house with dog hair everywhere. I’ve bought some wonderful coffee and have ordered a catered snack to arrive midday. I don’t know if it’s enough but he’s certainly worth the effort.
Aaarghhh! What is it with you women and cleaning before people come. We had to get a cleaner in because my wife was ill, and what did I catch my wife doing before that? Tidying up.
I’m always horrified at the amount of dirt UNDER the dryer when they move it! Ick. My appliance repair guy knows now to move the stuff and then back out of the way so that I can vacuum the hell out of it before he works. When he’s finished he lets me vacuum again. I love him. He tolerates me. It works.
Lin, I hadn’t even thought about the stuff under the appliances. Geez, now I have to vacuum.
Mulled Vine, I can’t explain it it’s like women and shoes…just accept it.
When my dishwasher broke and had to be replaced, the guy who came to install it and take away the new one called me into the kitchen to show me a dessicated mouse corpse in the tiny gap behind the dishwasher and washing machine.
The mouse was most probably chased there by the cats (I had two back then, just one now) and of course, they also turned up for front row seats for the show. Of course they weren’t interested in the remains which I crawled into the space and retrieved with kitchen paper. And no, the installer wouldn’t do it, muttered something about health and safety and that he’d sue me if he got a disease from touching the washer where the mouse had been. What a wimp.
I hope your electrician is young, fit and hunky and willing – to do all those little extra jobs you have planned that is. What did you think I meant LOL
I like Jenny F.’s comment because it reminds me of when we got a new refrigerator and the guys slowly pulled it out to find……a flattened fake mouse carcass. My cats love those fake furry mice, but when they get a little carried away with grooming their prey, the fake mouse insides kind of disintegrate and you are left with a mouse-skin rug thingy. I started to laugh when the man was horrified and then I stooped over and picked it up. It was such a “Caddyshack” moment to remember!
Woo hoo! The electrician!
Hmm. Maybe I need to get out more. What do you think?
Anyway, hope it all goes well.
Wow. You spoil your people it almost makes me want to be an electrician. Or hey, do you need your TV watched? Or your carpet walked on? Cause I could do that for you, real cheap. And I like doughnuts.
Let me explain a little about my electrician. He has finished every project that my ex ever started. Currently he is on the bench (laid off). The company he worked for went bankrupt. He charges me less than the shop did. He’s also funny and not too difficult to look at.
HORRAY! A dryer! Though I have to admit, knowing that there are no more laundromat posts in your future does sadden me some.
Kim,
Not to worry, my life is full of these kinds of things. Just as it begins to look up something will most definitely go wrong. Trust me on this.
Good luck getting the dryer installed!
Oh, and check out my blog as I’ve given you an award!
