3 of the 6 came to work with me the other day.  How exciting is it to work in a library?  You be the judge.

I hope the kids are interested in coming to see me at work again next year.

On Tuesday morning, the downstairs toilet was clogged.  This has been happening a lot lately with this toilet.  I got out the plunger and went to work.  But I couldn’t get it to clear.  I had to go to work, so I told the kids to create an out of oder sign and not use it.

I didn’t get around to it until Wednesday night.  Late Wednesday night, after midnight.  I removed the toilet and then snaked 25 feet of the drain.  All clear.  I snaked the toilet.  All clear.  So I reinstalled it.  Flush.

Nope!

Bowl just filled up with water.  Expletive.  Expletive.

Marcia walin.  “Did you plunge it?”

“Of course”

“Here, let me try”

Plunge, plunge.  Flush.

Everything drained properly.

Marcia tried to make it okay, “maybe you knocked something loose in there with all your jiggling”
