Pecked to Death by Ducks

substituteFriday night! Going to hang out with John & Elan & Nicole! Whee!
Phone in near death state. Not getting messages from anyone, getting ghost voicemail, SIM NOT RECOGNIZED, Phone not ready! OK?, YOUR MESSAGE CANNOT BE SENT. Finally get hold of John 0.03 minutes before we're supposed to meet.
Go to wash my face and hands before exiting and there's no hot water. 45 minutes of intense investigation including dust in face, rust in face, loud clanks of covers being removed, fear of fuel-air explosive incident, and increasing rage. Outcome: water heater not getting gas; everything else getting gas just fine. Painful and vexing procedure for pilot light is pointless.
So now! No hot water, and no hot water until Monday unless I want to pay weekend service charges for someone from the buttcrack professions. Sponge bath and bad dishwashing ahoy.
Monday: service profession angst, expensive, cheatr plumrs, possible entire week of Water Heater Adventure.
It's not like being raped by baboons in Mombasa or anything but boy I'm annoyed.

I'd vote for substitute :-)

At least you're not in Minnesota in January ;x
PS -- LJ thinks buttcrackiness is not a word, and suggests budgerigars or budgerigar's. I stand by buttcrackiness.
