I don’t know why, but the above photo seems to me to be symbolic of my week thus far. That it is apparently a hot chick in boots, mud, and not a whole lot more is a bit confusing to me, but I’m sure there’s some symbolism in there somewhere.
My week started off innocently enough on Monday, with me indulging in a bit of innocent procrastination in delaying mowing the lawn.
But then on Tuesday my Innertubes crapped out.
I got a hold of my Innertube Repair Man – who is (are?) actually my cousins Willie the Wire – and Muffin the Tower Bitch*, who actually own the fastest Innertube service in Southern Missouri – on Wednesday! Yay!
The reason for the delay is that Willie checked the Innertube air pressure on Tues and found it to be fine, so he thought the thing self-healed (or that I was full of shit). That – and he sorta forgot, and was busy on the barbecue…
But the fucking cunning piece of Latvian Lust-Fungus that is the tower router was tricking everyone except me – who still didn’t have service! It was actually delivering service to everyone but me, because I get mine (heh!) via the Ethernet comm&control cable (which was kerpow, you will recall) and everyone else gets theirs via wireless broadcast. Rats.
Anyway, they came out last night (Thursday) and Muffin climbed the tower and pluggy-plug-plugged electronically, whilst Willie did a great deal of to’ing and fro’ing and a not-insignificant amount of yelling.
I was extremely pleased, and patted myself on the back for – once again! – not having to lift a fucking finger to help.
*Muffin the Tower Bitch climbs 500+ foot towers routinely. I mean like every few days she is way up there where the helicopters dwell!** And after seeing my tiny 100-ft backyard tower, she sniffed disdainfully, slapped me around a bit and mooned me ruthlessly, and proceeded to climb my tower sans underwear!
** It’s true. Helicopters fly around wherever she’s climbing, trying to get a peek under her skirt. I suggested she wear pants – or at least underwear, but Willie will have none of it.
Willie the Wire & Muffin the Tower Bitch – or a reasonable facimile thereof!
While I was waiting for the Tower Team last evening, I noticed my air conditioning unit outside was behaving strangely.
Yes, boys and girls – the same A/C unit I had a pound of freon shoved into a few months ago is misbehaving already. I hear the flatulent sound of dollar bills (pbbbbbt!) fluttering away out of my wallet and into that of the undeserving – i.e. anyone elses wallet but mine.
Soooo….I am now waiting for precisely 8am so I can call the HVAC folks and see if they can haul their rich indolent asses out here and fix my coolie-pump! When I talk to them, I need to remember the following – taken from Daver’s site Ruining the Internet:
