seriously ✄☟☞ cut it out

my apartment was so hot i slept on the concrete a lot

i went to the rockaways a few times - lovely

i was at the beach almost every weekend this summer. laurel, you're nuts!

CIO: gabbneb rushing in to whine about people picking on the upper-middle class

hahahahaha I immediately went to see what he put in the Leona Helmsley thread that prompted this, oops.

cio: last day and i am STILL here. i still have 2 things left to finish up workwise and then move all my shit to my new desk (also cio them making me give up my office just because i'm only gonna be here 1 day a week when TEMPS get fucking offices these days but they're like 'oh you have to sit in a secretary desk because there are no offices'). this shit would all be done by now if i hadn't spent the last 3 hours babysitting/handholding new girl through very simple tasks.

CIO: get my box copy of BioShock....turn on 360....red ringz of DETH! : (

cio loading dishwasher full of two days' worth of cooking stuff and turning it on only to find the kitchen floor flooded and something I can't find blocking the drain. All the filter screens are clear, so it's something down the pipe and I have no idea what's in there so I'm afraid to use the drain snake in case there's like a delicate mesh or little plastic fins or something I could break.

brutal, m@tt.

cio anyone who has a dishwasher complaining

i was gonna say....

I <3 my dishwasher. It is worth the f'nridiculous rent I pay on my apartment.:D

I am sort of stoked about the dishwasher in the place I'm moving into in October.

cio laurel's bs complaints

cio people who don't have all mod cons using that to justify belittling another person's problems with a FLOODED APARTMENT

brooklyn rental rockists

dishwashers are a waste of space and money

hire a mexican instead

better for the environment than washing by hand

yeah but i hate the environment

wait, waht?

running the faucet the whole time, maybe, but filling a sink and washing that way?

I am POSITIVE my dishwasher isn't better for the environ than doing by hand, it takes like AN HOUR to wash two sinks' worth of dishes. But we only run it like 3x per month so whatev.

I helps the environment with LOTS OF TAKEOUT

I've never lived without a dishwasher. If you immediately wash everything with clean water, do you still have to use soap?

youre going to die

i hate the environment

i saw this on a t-shirt yesterday, next to a "free jt leroy" shirt

I feel your pain Laurel.

✄☟☞ my dorm room flooding.

Wau what happened?

curtis if you work it you can probably get yr skool to pay out $$ or give you a discount on housing

unless it was your fault

It was my fault I guess for flushing all of 4 squares of toilet paper down the toilet

maintenance guys wetvac-ed the carpet though

but it smells of toilet?

cio people calling my bluff when it kind of wasnt at all what I wanted, I am such a loser.

i miss wrinklepawstroversy thread :(

it's a wrinklepawspiracy

CIO a friend being shitty about the fact that I don't want to house a stray kitten for two days when no one knows whether it has fleas, it hasn't been washed, and I won't be there to deal with it. Apparently cruelty to animals/my friends is "just (my) nature".

tell him/her to drop it at a shelter, feral cats in your house = DNW

She said if she can't find a home for it until Sunday, it will be killed. Jesus Christ, roommate already agreed, they're doing it over my objections. I really hate people sometimes.

rescuing cats is great and everything, but it takes a little more dedication than dumping them on your friends, wtf?!

also has she never heard of no kill shelters?

^no kill

went through something like this lately. (un)fortunately the kittie (who was taken to a clinic, had like 5 major diseases/problems) ran off, so i didn't have to keep explaining that i can't have pets in my apartment, can't afford a kittie, etc.

most if not all of the no-kill shelters in nyc are full at the moment...

barc is ALWAYS full. if anything, if you can, go get a kitty from there.

To be fair she has rescued MANY animals over the years, in fact all of her 3-4 cats were rescues. She has the dedication, I just don't want to be involved. I don't really LIKE cats, plus 3rd roomie is out of town but v allergic. Hopefully all dander is gone before he gets back.

I asked "Has it been washed? Does anyone know whether it has fleas?" and she said "It's a STREET CAT, Laurel. NO, it doesn't have fleas."

...

Uh. Okay?

it'd be mad unfair and uncool to adopt a kittie without your roommates' approval, allergies or no.

Ian should thank his stars he already HAS a cat, she originally called me for HIS number.
