For the first time in a long time, I have a woman asking me if I want to meet for a coffee.
I’d love to, but some fucking moron decided to dig without calling first and busted open a water main for the whole neighborhood and now I can’t even take a shower. I am about to go to the store to buy a bunch of jugs of water just so I can flush the toilet.
No timeline on when it’s going to be fixed, either.
Sometimes it really feels like the universe just likes to spit in my fucking face and then laugh at me.
In my city we had a huge tunnel project a few years ago. The giant boring machine hit a pipe and broke, causing hundreds of millions of dollars in delays. Turns out it was one of the pipes that they had drilled into the ground to check soil conditions for the tunnel. Their own goddamn pipe, they just forgot it was still down there.
That one made me snort!
