MindReader, FutureHousemate and I are in FutureHousemate’s living room.
I am aleady cooing over Grand Designs. Oh yes – houses and babies this week on Billygean.
“What’s that?” I say, looking at the strange contraption on the TV. It appears to be moving food from floor to floor. How cool!
“A dumb waiter,” MindReader says, raising a blond eyebrow.
I pause for a moment. I feel my face redden. I can’t even laugh.
“Oh,” I whisper.
“What?” FutureHousemate says, setting his tea down.
“I thought-” I say. “Oh God. I thought that the restaurant I worked at were calling me a dumb waiter.”
MindReader goes rather red.
It dawns on me further. “I never did get why I was putting the food in the wrong places. Oh God.”
MindReader stares at me for a moment.
I wish I had not spoken. Why can’t I just have these revelations privately?
“No wonder you were fired,” he says, eventually.
I have not abandoned you. Blogger will not let me update.
The error I get whenever I try to post or republish is:
org.apache.commons.net.ftp.FTPConnectionClosedException: Connection closed without indication.
If any of you techies could help I would appreciate it…
