At least you can keep an eye on your crunchers. Mine are at the mercy of the grid while gone for thanksgiving. :)

That's true, but the servers are the real producers and they're pretty good on their own. Until I do something to much them up that is. So in my case . . .

Hey, remember what I said about this not being my own private pity party. Yeah. I might want to rethink that, because seriously, you can't make this "stuff" up.

I got a burst of energy and decided to take the a/c out of the upstairs window. This is a little awkward since the window is behind the sectional sofa and I have to climb on top of it. Long story short, window sticks, a/c falls 2 stories.

Oh but it gets better. The driveway is just below the window and guess where my car is. I look down and see what appear to be these huge scratches on the car. So first I'm thankful that the car was only 'grazed.' It's like something out of an old cowboy movie, right? Even so, I'm still bummed.

Eventually I go outside to harvest the debris and see that it was only the plastic side panels that hit the car. Whew. Man, I was ready to do my happy dance. Ah, but what one hand giveth, the other taketh away - sorta (and later we find I have 3 hands).

I open the trunk to stash the a/c for recycling and see what looks like mold. Crap. Now I have to throw more stuff out. Oops, but wait. It's not mold. I have a fire extinguisher in the trunk (and inside the car) and apparently it accidentally discharged. OK, so it's just another mess. Two down, one to go. Oh right, didn't tell you about that one yet.

So to seal the window that the a/c was in, I go looking for some foam tape which I swore I had in the basement. As I walk by the furnace which is an oil burner, it seems like the floor is wet in a couple spots. So I look more closely and yup, oil.

I don't really want to call my oil guy since it's literally a mom and pop operation, plus the weather is nice and I can wait. They're pretty good so I'm sure they'll take care of it and I have a big bag of absorbent just for such occasions - although I've never, ever had to use it.

You see, this is why I don't like to do anything. You try to accomplish things and that reduces the entropy in the universe. This upsets the universe and it then seeks its revenge and as we all know, payback is a . . .

Edit to add: found it - Charles M. Schulz (aka Charlie Brown). Very first quote: http://www.goodreads.com/quotes/tag/mankind

So in conclusion.
If you had just been a good kitty, stayed on the couch,drank your beer, watched the game two things would have happened.

1) Nothing would of happened or
2) Anything that did happen you would never have know about (eg water would have evaporated)



So for next thanksgiving your just going to do this right?

You know it makes sense,trust your instincts.
