carbon monoxide

(note: i am not actually talking to myself in any of this, these are just the thoughts that were running in my head)

[sleeping cozily in bed]

BEEP!

me propping head up wondering what that is...

go back to sleep

about 20 minutes later

BEEP!

what the fuck is that?

go back to sleep

another 20 minutes later

BEEP!

FUCK!

go down my ladder... walk over to that stupid required carbon monoxide alarm.

looks fine to me. oh, not plugged in. i'll plug it in.

ANOTHER 20 minutes later

BEEP!

FUUUUUCCCCCCKKKKKKKKK! the one time i REALLY want to sleep! bastard!!!!

walk down again, look at the stupid thing & it's flashing "Lb" (meaning low battery)

wtf. the stupid thing is plugged in. who gives a shit about the battery.

now 10 minutes later

(double) BEEP!

what the shit!

go back down... pick the stupid thing up... rip the battery out & leave it unplugged (and *wished* i could go back to sleep).

sleep at this point was NOT happening so i played on the computer & read for a bit and then...

went... back... to... sleep....

p.s. i got the job! :) i wonder how many new "best friends" i'll pick up.... can't wait to see... it'll be verrry interesting... although, i won't ever buy anything because this company is so not my style, so i guess it would be good that somebody would make use of my discount... ??
