There's a Plumber in all of us
I went to a really fine institution where I met my closest friend, we will call her Ruby (a derivative of her actual name coined by Office Knight). We proceeded to live together for all four years. We now both reside in the big (currently hot & smelly) big apple where we can continue to dote on our mundane accomplishments. Well this week there was a huge breakthrough at Ruby's residence. She has been complaining of unsatisfactory water pressure in her shower for over a year now and finally took the reigns and bought a shower head which would remedy the situation. I have to stress that low water pressure in a shower for anyone like myself or Ruby is a huge problem because we have big, poofy hair that takes hours to wash the shampoo out if the pressure isn't sufficient. We experienced this in a really, really unfortunate hotel in Jamaica. Anyway, she bought the shower head. Then she realized she needed needle nose pliers, which she referred to as "Needle Pliers." Well, in the big, smelly apple if you need "Needle Pliers" at 11:30pm someone's got 'em. So she went out and got the pliers to remove the vital piece from her shower that would let the new shower head function at it's best. The next morning I get a phone call from Ruby. She claims that when she turned on her shower she was "thrown against the wall." The visual of Ruby being slammed against the wall by her pseudo hydrant was really just too much. Thank goodness I was in my office on wheels where I could guffaw at my heart's content. She now will use her "needle pliers" to put the piece back.

Ohhhh how I miss the antics of Ruby and Office Raider. I am going to come see our other friend from the year of the Castle Sleepovers soon, so we should all get together!
