ability to express myself: 0

this is a direct translation from the hebrew expression that's been defining my communication skills for the last while. and tonight i got slapped with a shocker: the painter and i had a serious miscommunication (to be fair, in both directions) that resulted in his thinking that he had finished the job and in my disappointment in discovering that we have different ideas of the meaning of the word "clean".

at least karnaf's builder friend isn't worried.

i started getting frustrated at work, but my TL hit upon a really good idea to improve our current readability situation, which gives me hope. nystire introduced me to the wonders of bluetooth networking and zombie last supper, which i'm planning on printing onto wood for my front door.

three of us went to a fair, i bought a washing machine, a fridge and a microwave (the last of which needed to be carried on the bus). on the way we got caught up arguing over just how much of a difference is made by eating during perambulation... i think i'll stick to my less superstitious views.

i'm exhausted, i think after showering and sorting papers i'm going to pass out. i don't like the idea that tomorrow's going to begin with an unpleasant altercation. although maybe it'll be fine?
