transcript of a phone conversation:

"Hello, Ms. [fillyjonk]? This is [plumber dude], the installer from Lowe's. I was wondering if within the next hour would be a good time for me to come out?"

"Yes, it would be a GREAT time."

"Okay, I'll be there shortly."

And then I hung up and did the I Can Has Hot Water dance, which is actually remarkably like the I Has Wireless Internet dance of earlier this summer.

Hopefully, just a couple more hours, and I will be able to take that hot shower and wash my hair...
