ask and you shall receive

Here it is in all of its seatless glory, the topic of waaaaaaay too many of my conversations the past 3 months...please do enjoy, because Lord knows I sure as heck don't.


My first attempt at laundry here ended with less than desirable results. The washer is a combination washer/dryer. I wanted to wash a few things that I did not want dried in the dryer. My poor knowledge of French washing machine vocabulary combined with the stained and torn to the point of near illegibility instruction manual lead to me having to pull my soaking wet clothes out of the washer, with several inches of water at the bottom of it. Now, every article of clothing that I have worn in the past week is hanging, dripping wet, in various spots around my room. I hope it doesn't soak through the floor into the offices below...plus I won't have clean and dry clothes for at least two days. My pajamas were in that load of laundry. Sad.
