I said goddamn. As you may have noticed, the website was down for like a millennium this weekend -- down for so long I almost forgot what it looked like -- which left me with nothing to do but sweat. Not like I ever post on weekends, but you know how you feel when a website isn't working. Like what if it never comes back? OMG! So I did weird things all weekend. Like folding the futon in the living room down into bed formation, just for a change of pace. Then I turned on the air conditioner, because I have trouble sitting still, and if I move I have trouble staying undrenched with sweat. I tried to sleep during the day like a Mediterranean, with mild success. Sunday night was like the tenth consecutive garbage night that my roommates have been coincidentally absent, forcing me to deal with the gawbidge aw by my wonesum. Poo-uh me!
So then in order to feel powerful, I went out into the staircase, thinking maybe I could flex a little for the children in the building, who like nothing more than to laugh at white twentysomethings. But what the fuck was this? I smell gas! Now a chance to really make things happen! I called 311, which is like prep school for calling 911 in New York City. If you don't know, it's supposed to be the city information line, where you can find out your garbage pickup days, or parking rules, or where your polling place is, or where to find a hooker who doesn't mind cuts as long as they're small. But so I call and tell them kinda offhandedly that I smell gas in my building's staircase. I was like: no biggie, but I smell gas. Could you inform Con Edison for me, thanx. But the operator was all: Please hold for 911. I was like "What? Seriously? Because they're gonna send fire trucks, aren't they?" She goes "Please hold." So for two sweaty minutes, I wondered whether I had really smelled gas or whether it was just rotting garbage in the courtyard, which actually woudn't be too far-fetched. But sure enough, woop woop, two GINORMULUS fire trucks pull up, laden with firemen in that arctic gear they wear all year. I sure hope the underlayer wicks away moisture. "Wicks away moisture," ewww. They come up the stairs via magic teleportation and they bang on the third floor doors, and at this point I'm feeling preemptively VERY sheepish, in case they can't smell it and I'm revealed to be a dangerous crank. I've already started shoveling ice cream down my throat to try to put out the raging fire of guilt in my belly. But it turns out that a neighbor's pilot light had gone out. So I'm a goddamn hero. What the fuck have you done lately? 0 comments |
