let the rivers flow

and that they did, baptizing our skylight in bulging wet stucco, cleaning the drywall in the upstairs ceiling yet again. rainmaker, why do you punish me so? why do make wets for 40 hours straight, hurling your bits onto the siding next door with holes in it so your liquids can flow easily into our nest? why do approach the relics in the shack, daring to touch, making messes? requiring bucket maintenance?

no good fb, no good.

I have the floods here too but I do not have to pay for the fixing.

I might like to see your relic(s) next Friday. Need to get away from the cave.

Fairy, I had that prob when I lived in the Burg. I had a huge loft with a skylight (and lots of asbestos) and when it rain I would get a downpour in the space. Fortunately it was mainly in my roommate's area. But when he wasn't around I had to move all the crap and put out huge buckets. It was gross.

In a word: flashing. It's all about the flashing.

hi fb. sorry to hear of the leaks. i am maniacal this a.m.

the crap thing is that we just had our side of the roof repaired - and I believe correctly (with 3-course flashing). The water comes in through the neighbor's faulty, old, crumbling siding and roof and water travels as they say. So today i may have to begin the campaign to force the landlord to deal with this. The roofer told us that we would still have probs until the side of the neighbor's building is adequately protected.

my landlord at the shack has promised me that he will deal with the INSANE leaks in my space. the stairwell was like something from blade runner. really out of control!

Thanks for your sympathies. i just got to the beige. surprise! have nothing to do. it's going to be another internet cafe day here. except that there is no milk for coffee. i wish i were high.

I think you should get high. Don't they have any loose samples of meds floating around at beige? You'd think that would be one of the perks.

fairy butler said...

i know! maybe i can get one of the medical doctors from editorial to prescribe me something? Gloom. i really don't try to be hateful but an hour and half in i am already done with this place.

there is a perky new person next door to me. i wish i could cover my pen with black plastic bags.

fb, you could always take up smoking, thus providing an activity. Or, if you don't want the cancer, use those bubble-gum cigarettes with the powder that you blow out of the paper wrapper.

i think i may practice disappearing today. just getting up and leaving and coming back randomly. i don't know what i'll do with the time away from my desk but ? why not.

Have you seen "Fear and Trembling?" A Belgian/Japanese movie about the absolute insanity of corporate culture in Japan. There is a reason they throw themselves out of office windows so often, if this film is an accurate depiction.

fairy butler said...

no sloth, i will add to my queue.

my friend here, daiel, just thought up an excuse to leave for the day. (forgot his xanax or something) UGH!!! i spend a good amount of time emailing back and forth now even that fun is gone for today.

fairy butler said...
