I woke up with one chore to do today. Clean the fish tank filter. I was up nice and early. As I was checking my email and sipping a nice cup of coffee I heard it.

Beep. Beep. Beep beep!

It was that damn washer again. It does this every now and again. I don’t know why. It was brilliantly designed by those Kenmore folk with no display. Anyway, the last time it did this beeping non-stop (usually it stops on it’s own) I had found a magical button combo to reset it. Did I write it down? Erm.. No. Of course not. So I lost like 30 minutes looking for it on the Google. Then I went down to try and ‘figure it out’. No luck. It was getting late so I went to my chore of the filter.

Beep. Beep. Beep beepbeep.

The filter thing went fast, although with all the beeping I was a bit annoyed. I put it back together and went to re-attach it to the tank. It filled with water, but wouldn’t prime and start. I pumped the little starter to get suction. Nothing. I pumped more.

Beep. Beep. Beeeeep.

After some time I gave up and tried to detach a hose to use my mouth to start it. The hose apparently had filled with water even though it wouldn’t prime. This water sprayed everywhere, drenching me and the immediate area of floor and inside the cabinet that houses the filter.

Beep. Beep. Beep.

So I unplug it altogether and take it back to the sink to drain it and try to start the process all over. Water of course drips along the way. I head bak to the tank, re-attach and try again. I pump the thing. Water leaks out from somewhere. The washer beeps. Finally it starts.

Beeeeep.

So I have cleaned up. I am running totally late (even later after blogging it). The washer is still beeping.

So yesterday I expressed a desire to not have to deal with Christmas music at work. Well, guess what? Clearly I jinxed myself, or my gut feeling was right. The Christmas music has begun. Sure it’s not full force. It’s sprinkled in, like every other song or so. But still, when I got to my office and realized what I was hearing I had a strong desire to stab my ears with a pen…

Maybe I’ll switch the site over to the holiday theme this week. You know, just give in. Immerse myself in holiday goodness.

I didn’t hate my morning. It was fine. It was better than fine actually, as the heat wave finally broke and I was able to dress without sweating. I didn’t hate my day at work. Well, I almost did. We are getting ready for a “visit” and we are trying to make our store look like a museum. Frustrating, but I didn’t hate it. I didn’t hate coming home to an empty house when I was expecting dinner already made as well as someone home either. I was just too tired to bitch about it.

What I do hate about today is that I started a load of laundry at 4 PM and just now (at midnight) remembered to get it into the dryer. Dammit! And ya’ll know I won’t go to bed until it is done and folded. OCD sucks yo.

Now what? Creative writing? Venting? Where’s my old iPod? I need music…
