I’m home on my lunch break and got a lovely surprise. My refrigerator is broken. All of my food is melted and rotten. ALL my precious coffee flavored icecream – now a puddle of goo. All of my frozen goods – soft and mushy. It has obviously been broken for at least a day. I know it was ok yesterday around 5pm because I came home and took a swig of nice cold diet pepsi before going the the mall. I got home around 11:30pm last night and didn’t get anything out of the refrigerator. I noticed that my half n half had some condensation on it this morning, but didn’t really think of it. All of my chicken is completely defrosted and something kind of pink is dripping into my refrigerator from my freezer. I don’t even want to deal with it. I wanted to go to the mall again tonight but I guess I’ll be spending the night tossing things in the trash and cleaning up the mess. At least I didn’t stock up on any food since I’m going on vacation. Ughh, this stuff just pisses me off. I guess all I had of any value was frozen chicken, yogurt, some vegetables, and my 40 bottles of italian dressing. I wonder if it needs to stay cold. It will take me quite some time to replensih my collection of that stuff. But if it is truly broken and cannot be repaired, maybe I’ll get a newer used refrigerator that does not look like it was dredged from the bottom of a lake after sitting there for like 10 years. That is the one thing I hate about this apartment. The refrigerator is SO ugly and has random spots of rust all over it. But it works (well did work) so good! I’m sad.
In other news, my eye doctor is going to give me some new contacts for my trip. Guess it will be time to discard my 2 week disposable contacts I’ve been wearing for the last 10 months. And they will be in tomorrow so I will have them for my journey. I know that if I do not get some, my eye is going to die like the day I get to Florida and I’ll be miserable the entire time.
What else, oh yeah … I shopped at a mall last night. I got like 800 cool summer outfits for $60. I need to go back and buy sandals and a swimsuit. I shouldn’t have put my vacation planning off until the last minute, but I figured it would make the week go by fast. I should have taken into consideration that major appliances were going to break and piss me off … oh and that I was going to be swarmed by everyone at work, even though I sent out an email early last week asking everyone to PLEASE wrap up their dealings with me as early in the week as possible so it didn’t turn into a competition (aka Hell) by the end of the week. Of course, nobody knows how to read or gives a shit. AND, our transitional employee is starting on Friday and I’ll have to spend the whole day with him because I am sort of his boss. He is starting for real on August 1st when I get back, but someone (me) had the great idea that he could come in Friday for an orientation. Jesus, I’m going nuts. Someone come over and take some things off of my to do list. I don’t know why I always make everything so difficult.
I think I’m going to say “screw the fridge”. I’m going shopping after work. Maybe I’ll come home and find dead salmonella poisoned raccoons in my kitchen.
