things I want explained

[dchenes]

Would somebody please explain to my brain that it induced my body to eat a pound of chocolate-covered almonds over the course of last week, and therefore my body really doesn't need any more chocolate-covered almonds for the next couple of months?

And would somebody please explain to my landlady that 9:30 on Sunday night is not the best time to call me and demand that I do something about the smell in the hallway (which, as usual, I can't tell is there)? I'm getting tired of apologizing for something she won't prove is my fault, only because I can't prove it isn't.

Grumble.

No good deed goes unpunished?

I hear ya.

We got woken up at 6:09 this morning by Matt's phone ringing. We had offered to act as organizers for a stray rabbit capture in Plymouth and have been gathering information and trying to get permission to go onto private property all weekend. So when does someone finally call back? 6:09am on Monday morning. He thought we were the animal control office. We explained patiently that no, we are normal people, with day jobs, who happen to care for rabbits as a hobby. He unloaded 15 minutes worth of information anyways since he'd already called the real animal control office and they didn't call him back. Hmph. So we get to deal with it just because you could actually reach us at 6am?

Hey, FYI, I just confirmed the car reservation for May. I also made sure to state a preference for getting a Toyota, rather than one of the other mid-size sedans. For reference, all of their vehicles have CD players.

It turns out its a good thing I called; they aren't actually open on Monday the 28th. We wouldn't be able to do the return that day. Grrrr. So I arranged to return it on Tuesday. They also have to have both of us physically present for you to be added as a second driver and they can't do it before the car is rented. So here's what I've set up: I will pick the car up in Weymouth at 8am on Thursday the 24th, I'll take it to work with me, then after work, will come pick you up. From your office, we go to the Park Plaza to another branch of Hertz to get you listed as the second driver. Then we can go pick up your stuff from your apartment before we hit the road.

Why don't I just bring my stuff to work with me on that Thursday? It'll only be one bag.

Tell your landlady that it was an animal (or one of your toes?) that froze to death over the winter while she had the heat off, and you weren't able to find it until last week, when it finally warmed up outside.

Heh. Except that (a) I'm not allowed to have pets, and (b) I walk around barefoot in this weather, so it's obvious that all my toes are still there, I might do that.

I didn't say a pet, I was more implying something that might reflect poorly on the landlord - like some sort of vermin.

Ok, so the toes are a bad idea. Although, there are enough joke sources maybe you can find a fake toe? If you show it soon enough...

Nah...then the police will come and you'll be stuck locked out while they look for clues...
