Home for the Aged

I think I just replaced the original flapper in our toilet. Instead of just doing what I wanted when I was removing it, it sloughed off several layers of rubber onto my hands. And the replacement flapper didn't even fix the damn leak! Doesn't seem worse, at least.

Hopefully it'll be stable for a while. We can't afford the $90 + plumber cost (minus the City of Toronto $60 rebate) right now. Or at any time between right now and 2009.

So many of my frustrations right now lead back to the root cause of "not enough money on my paycheque". This inevitably leads me to think about going back to teaching on contract, since I could -- could -- make a good chunk more than I make now. But the stuff I can teach is the same stuff taught by so many others, so I wouldn't be able to have much reliability in my income. *sigh*

Maybe I could take up prostitution.

Don't sweat the small stuff. Look at it this way, if you wake up tomorrow and your own flapper breaks and leaks, then you can start to worry.

I'm worried about the sweating.

You can use Botox to treat sweating...

I would totally do you if I made enough money to pay for your services.

My fees would be quite high. Perhaps even in the tens of dollars.

There was a flapper in your toilet?



See, that's your problem right there.
