Again with the Cute/Evil stories...
After getting home from work the other day, she jumped in the shower. She came upstairs afterwards to tell me she'd discovered the source of the mysterious leak in the laundry room.
She'd accidentally knocked a hole in the shower wall. Upon inspection, we discovered that the custom-built, beautifully tiled, marble-accented shower was built using ordinary (i.e. not remotely waterproof) materials. The wall was completely rotten inside. In fact, peeling away the first layer of tiles, we discovered they'd been laid over an older, mould-covered set of tiles.
So now I get to learn how to build a new bathroom.
In other news, Bridget asked for my covert help in writing up the posting for the Ferengi's job as the bossman intends to let her go as soon as he can find somebody to take over. And New Chick has mysteriously reverted to New Chick after months of playing the part of Littlebabycryingpants. She seems to have decided that I'm okay after all. Not only is she speaking to me, she's acting like nothing ever happened.
That's great news about the Ferengi, but I feel like I've missed something important somewhere. I thought she could do no wrong?

Call in Mike Holmes! (Too, I know a great plumber... his rates are low because he wants to build a customer base. Seriously! ...if you don't already have one, that is.)
And: na na na na, na na na naaa, hey hey heeeyyyy goooood byyyyyye. So long Ferengi!

Christy: The Ferengi? No. The Bossman's been telling me he was going to fire her since my first-ever interview with him more than four years ago. This is just the first time it's gone past the talking-about-it stage.
Kelly: I'll e-mail you.

Wow! I thought they would never get rid of her b/c it's been nothing but "we will" for years. Huh.
That sucks about the bathroom. Does that mean you're all using the euro one upstairs? You know, you could all fit in there at one go and save on water...would be interesting.
And by the way, did you watch torchwood last night?
