Men and devices...

Got back in town last night to find yet another device broken! First it was my ceiling fan. And, no,while I did purchase another one, it has yet to be installed. P1 said he could do it in a matter of a couple of hours, but I haven't really gotten up the nerve to ask. I'm not so good at asking for help. Probably my number 2 fatal flaw! Then, there was the washing machine. It broke last week. since I was going out of town, I didn't have time to fix it. So, I went out and bought a new one. No fancy front loader but it does appears to be working well. Then, I leave the parking lot at the airport and my f-ing window won't go up. And, yup, you guessed it, it was raining out!!!!! So, I called the garage today and surprise of all surprises, they could fix it. I had already gone to work, so back across town I drive. Now 3 hours and $300 later, the fucking window works!

I hate when things break. Reminds me of all the men in my life. When they are new to me, I am thrilled with them. They don't have to be the prettiest or the flashiest; I'm just looking for a little bit of performance. Usually, they don't disappoint. But then months/years later, they break. they disappoint and in general, they are worthless to me! And, usually when something goes wrong, all goes wrong.

Yup, men and devices are pretty much meant to be changed on a regular basis, else they will cost you time, money and still disappoint you! What's worse...summer is over. Boo hooo!!!!!

This message from the emergency rant system is now complete. You will be returned to your regular programming. Have a nice fucking day!
