So, rat number two is resting comfortably in the neighbours garbage. I was merciless on the vile vermin. But, he was quite cute. Brown and fuzzy with an interesting little face. The blood leaking from his ears made him less cute, though. He is still vermin.
So, a few more things to complain about so you know what life is like in the land of 'almost right'. Computers- even though they are made here, apparently don't want to work here. The wind blew out the internet the other day. Makes me wonder how Lethbridge has any at all? I was told that a computer would be hooked up to the library SMART board so I wouldn't have to use my laptop. Well, there is a computer- it is simply plugged into the outlet. Not actually to the SMART board. Nor, is there any software to run anything. But, there is a computer.
The computer is in my room is also hooked up to the wall. But, that is all. Now it is totally non-functional because when I plugged in my Van De Graaf generator for science class it started on fire and blew all the breakers! Lord knows where the breakers are.
Then, while burning up the generator, Caden was playing with some markers and was rubbing his face. Covered in black felt he looked like Charlie Chaplin (or Hitler). No big deal, except that we can clean him up because there is very little water pressure since Friday. No hot water at all. It took the neighbour 45 min to fill her tub for a bath.
Marni's classroom air conditioner is on the fritz, again. Students come from her classroom looking as if they just ran a marathon in her english class. Between classes she runs to the next room to cool off. Having taught in a broom closet in PK I am not too sympathetic. Although, it did have a functional computer and some electricity.
On the bright side, Marni and I did some karaoke on Saturday. Sadly, growing up with Vic and Kathleen has subjected her to look in the music library for Kris Kristofferson and "The Pony Man". Good luck, there. I however, know every ABBA song ever written. Thanks Dad!
But, there were $7 jugs of beer. Great deal seems how a bottle of wine was $35.
This is just a little whine for you.
I can't stop laughing at your demise. Sorry buddy, but the thought of Caden made me spew my coffee. I hopw, however, the rat situation is under control for now.. and how true about the karaoke. How 'bout Shania or songs from Grease at least:)
ReplyDeleteI think I just threw up in my mouth. Shania was on the list....just not by me. Grease? Is that a Vampire series?
ReplyDeleteThe Pack Rat Shack should have prepared Marni for this. Remember the cheese?
