Today i want to share. Why? Because in the past months i feel like we have become close friends. So today i am going to share something embarrassing, something endearing, and something irritating (just for good measure!)
Something Embarrassing:
This past Monday at work i replaced the new handles on the water cooler because our office staff is so strong that we managed to break them. So you have to wait until the water jug is empty and remove it and drain the rest of the water out of the machine. So i to remove the empty jug and then drain the water that is in the water dispensers and then unplug the drain plug and empty the water out of there. First time ive ever done this. So im following the instructions just so. Empty the the water out of the water dispensers. Done. Good. Next is the drain plug. The pictures shows them unplugging it and catching the water in a paper cup. Easy enough. So i unplug the drain plug and i have my paper cup ready....and water shoots out the back of the water cooler...in seconds my paper cup is full and the water is still coming out....like a steady stream! So water is coming out the back getting all over the floor with no end in sight! I had to scramble to find something larger to catch the water and by that time it was all over the floor. I had no idea that there was so much water in the drain plug!!!! The water finally drains.
So i wipe up all the water....hoping no one in the office comes into the lobby to see the mess i have made!! Then i take off the broken handles and replace them with our new shining handles....and its looking pretty good!!! Like NEW!! :P I get a new jug and place it into the water cooler....SUDDENLY water is streaming out the back!! I FORGOT TO RE-PLUG THE DRAIN PLUG!! So again i have water getting everywhere i cant get the drain plug back on!! So i had to remove the jug and wait for the water to drain AND wipe up all the water. AGAIN. While i am wiping up the water the water cooler starts to smoke! Yes i have smoke coming out of the vents on the side of the water cooler. I practically screamed! I ran to open up the windows and finish wiping up the water. So the water is cleaned up an the water cooler stopped smoking. But now the office smelled. Yay! So i carefully plugged the drain plug, plugged in the water cooler, and turned in back on and jumped back waiting for it to explode or burst into flames. Nothing happened. No smoke. No fire. No water. Thank God!!! So i positioned the water cooler back against the wall and re-inserted the water jug. This time everything went well. No one came into the office lobby during any of this!! But i did have to answer to the dreaded question "What is that smell?" for the next two hours!!
Something Endearing....
Mr. Wonderful lives up to his name. On Tuesday we had a special event we had to attend at 9:00 P.M. So i started getting ready at 7:00 P.M. Showered, dressed, hair done up and painted my toes pink. :) After all this i realized i had left me earrings in the car. So with freshly painted toes and clean feet i cant go outside to get them. (lady's i know you understand) So i ask mr. wonderful if he would help me get my earrings. mr. wonderful agreed. He whisks me up and takes me outside to the car...places me in the car....waits for me to grab my earrings...and picks me back up and brings me back inside! He certianly could have just ran out to the car and grabbed my earrings for me. I asked him why he didnt just run out and grab them for me....and he just shrugs his shoulders!! Like its no big deal!! Oh mr. wonderful. i love you.
Something Irritating....
Filled up my gas tank Wednesday night after work and im going to have to fill it up again before tomorrow afternoon!!! Had a bit of driving to do this past week but didnt realize how much until i looked this morning!! Gas is $2.80 a gallon right now!! AAAGGG!!!
What did you bring to share?
Okay, my turn to share!!
ReplyDeleteTarah, you've been with me during some of my most embarrassing moments, but there is one that I don't think I have told you about.
So my mom, sis, and I were at Wal*Mart and I, as usual, wandered off cuz I was bored. I was looking at some purty pictures that were on an 'end of aisle' display. They were kind of big and clunky and all stacked on top of one another. But I really wanted to see all of them so I was moving them around trying to get a look at 'em all. And then they all came tumbling down off the shelf! I tried to catch as many as I could, but as I said, they were big (too big to be on an end shelf, I might add). So I spent about 10 min trying to get 'em to stay up but they just kept falling down! And people were walking past me giving me sympathetic looks, but NOBODY stopped to help me!
Anywho, I'm sure the security people were having fun watching me on camera.
Hope that makes you feel better!
