Too bad. I wish I had been there for the supreme optimism that we had reached "the end of history" as Jesus Jones sang. It was a wonderful event.

I was very young when it happened, and really not even knowing what was going on, I could still tell something very exciting and very big had happened.

The roles I get to play today:
Corporate beggar
Auto mechanic
Seamstress

I also get to begin learning how to do maintenance on an 07 Toyota Camry, starting with the front brake pads. Apparently this thing has two springs, rather than just the one spring I had to fight with (but eventually got it down to no big deal) on my Cougar.

Just found out my water heater is toast.
This is troublesome because it's part of a system involving the boiler that heats the house.

I am pretty sure that smoking marijuana can make a person stupider.

You'd better get it fixed, then, bloke! Or buy a new one. Winter is coming quickly.

My HVAC company is already on the job....they're the
ones who broke the tank trying to get the broken pipe out.

No no no...... never EVER use toast to heat water...it gets soggy and never heats anything

They must be from England, those scalawags!

Turns out there were no dielectric unions in the installation.
Big mistake....can't ever assume people will do what they should.

The heater broke down in my parents house, a few years back and the HVAC company decided it needed to be replaced...the guy arrived to replace it and discovered the old broken one was from the late 50s and made of boiler plate....... two more guys and a cutting torch later they actually were able to get it out of the house to replace it

No, you can't. You'd best stay on top of the situation.

I feel dirty. Horrible. Disgusting. At my interview, I laughed at math, I did the "everybody hates statistics" things, and tried to relate to those interviewing me in a way that wasn't me. I decided using some comedy might help, but I definitely went in a direction, that though it seemed to have the desired effects, is just not me.
