Just a question.

[evilhippo]

Why? Why why why can't I live in a place that has a working carbon monoxide detector? Why can't any of them run out of batteries at a time OTHER than three in the freaking morning? I almost tore the wires out of this one I was so tired. The back pops off but there's nothing there, and you actually have to open it up like Pac-Man to get to the batteries. Pac-Man is very low on the list of ideas for opening something at nearly-four in the morning. I'm sure you can picture this scene. At least I figured it out, because I'm pretty sure the e-mail to my landlord trying to explain why I destroyed his carbon monoxide detector would be pretty incomprehensible at this point.

I hate you, carbon monoxide detectors.

I wish I could call in sick today. This week and I are not even on speaking terms anymore as of yesterday, this is just... unnecessary.
