elusivegorgon: note: smoke detectors and I do NOT get along
elusivegorgon: brb, must kill my children
shmuelakahn: oy, do tell...
shmuelakahn: oy
elusivegorgon: I do NOT like noise.
elusivegorgon: I especially do not like the piercing alarm of the smoke detector
elusivegorgon: ours is rather sensitive
elusivegorgon: and the fan on our range does not work
shmuelakahn: duh, that is the point - not liking the noise that is
elusivegorgon: so EVERY GODDAMN TIME I COOK the fucking thing is shrieking
shmuelakahn: ouch
elusivegorgon: and all the kitchen windows must be open
elusivegorgon: and I'm waving a dishtowel under the detector to shut it the fuck up
elusivegorgon: it's specially wired so you can't just disconnect it
shmuelakahn: lol of course not
elusivegorgon: I'm calling the property management place tomorrow to get the fan fixed
shmuelakahn: good luck
elusivegorgon: thanks
elusivegorgon: I should call when I'm in a mood like right now
elusivegorgon: they'd be RIGHT OVER
shmuelakahn: YAH!
shmuelakahn: I'm sitting in the dark and this big moth just discovered my screen. sigh
shmuelakahn: so wazzap?
elusivegorgon: my heart rate.
shmuelakahn: oh? still buzzing over the alarm or is this a different 'buzz"?
elusivegorgon: still coming down from the 30-minute alarm ordeal
shmuelakahn: [massages Katrina's neck and shoulders]
elusivegorgon: wave the towel, the alarm goes off, work a bit on the laundry or dishes or cooking until the alarm screams more, drop what I'm doing and wave the towel some more
elusivegorgon: meanwhile kids are under my feet and asking stupid questions like "that's really annoying isn't it" and "when will dinner be done" and 'why does it make that noise?"
elusivegorgon: YES! FUCK! NO! WHAT! SHUT UP! NO!
elusivegorgon: as previously stated, I do NOT react well to loud noises.
shmuelakahn: Yes
