Ready for some Laughter?

Since I moved into my new apartment in June,
I haven't had a working stove.
I mean, I HAVE a stove, it just didn't work.

I put in one maintenance request
no one came.
And I'm ashamed to say that due to the busyness of my life,
and the fact that I live alone,
I didn't worry about it.

Soooo
I've been without a stove for 6 months now.
And damn it, I want to bake Christmas goodies.
This morning, while nannying,
I decided enough was enough
and put in another maintenance request.

I arrive home to see a little yellow note from my maintenance man
"Breaker for stove was flipped off"

Awesome.
Humiliating, actually.

I pretty much live by the motto:
"I can do anything boys can do"
Ummm, except turn my stove on, I guess.
I have lived without a stove for SIX months because my breaker was in the wrong position.
Alright, pride, you just got checked.


I can only imagine what that maintenance man thinks of me.

At least I have shelves and shelves lined with excellent choices in books and DVDs.
I do have some redeeming qualities, even on my not-so-hot days :)


Total absence of humor renders life impossible.
