Sweet Horrible News

The dishwasher is on the way out. It's the crappiest dishwasher I've ever had. You can usually expect to re-wash half the stuff that you put in there. Well, yesterday, somewhere in the cycle, something fell through the racks and landed on the heating element. It not only melted, it got hot enough to melt the bottom pan of the dishwasher. So now there's a gaping hole in the thing and if we use it again, water will get into the electrical crap under it.

Why is this sweet? It's now broken just enough to be replaced, rather than repaired. It'll cost us nothing, because it was a legitimate accident, and is covered by housing maintenance.

Why is this horrible? It happened on Friday morning, and no one can come out until Tuesday. Of course, it is Memorial Day Weekend, so we can barbecue and eat on paper plates all weekend and not feel to lazy.
