I heard it, I heard it. Finally!
It's been over a year since I heard my washing machine beep when it finished all the cycles and was ready to be hung out. For me this has been a real nuisance as I would put a load of washing on, then completely forget that I had. Then my washing would go out far too late in the day to be hung out and get dry, or I would find the load I washed the next day and have to do it again so the clothes don't smell damp. It honestly was the bane of my life.
I was remapped on Monday, but it wasn't until wednesday that I heard the beep. Much higher than I've ever heard before too.
I know this is such a small thing to get excited over - but I can't help it!!
So that was my High for the week. Then on friday the phone rang when a friend of mine was here and the conversation went like this...
'Hello Robyn speaking"
'mumble is mumblemumble'
"Sorry - you will need to speak more clearly- Who is it speaking please?"
"aoijf auwpoijfd aodij"
"I think you have the wrong number"
Click. I hung up.
I turned to my friend..
"I have had Sssssssssooooooooooooo many wrong numbers this week - I'm getting sick of it"
We go on to talk about other things when 10 minutes later my friend Bronni turned up at the door.
'Hi - that was me on the phone before" she said!!!
"oh - really?"
I now wonder how many other friends I've hung up on this week thinking it was a wrong number.
If you have rung me in the last week - please let me know LOL. If I've hung up on you - all is forgiven - you can ring me back now !!!
Cheers
Robyn
Wonderful about the washing machine!! I can't hear beeps either, but I hear vibration and know when the washing and drying stops. I wish the oven vibrated. Then I would burn so many things while cooking!
ReplyDeleteI am suffering big time. I had to call and ask for an emergency mapping on Monday. I hear almost nothing for some reason!
ReplyDeleteYes, yes, yes--I get it with the washer! I use the timer on my stove...which, pre-CI, I couldn't hear either. but I could see if it was blinking that it was going off. Now with my CI I can hear it IN THE NEXT ROOM! WooHoo!!
ReplyDeleteAnd, yeah, I get a lot of calls I cannot tell who it is for the life of me. Or it takes 17 tries before I can tell who it is. It's just so draining. I am tired of the phone and have to work so hard to make myself use it--which is a loss, because it has always been my lifeline as an extrovert. So now I just spend totally inordinate amounts of time online and ignore my family and my house...and my life, it seems sometimes.
Grumbly mood, sorry.
OK what is my excuse then? I don't hear the washing machine all the time. I think this is officially called "Vacantness". Phil will do a load and say to me "can you please hang that out when it's finished, I am going to work" and I'll say "yes" enthusiastically. Then hours later he returns and asks me why the washing is in the machine and I say "what washing?", "the washing you agreed to hang out earlier", "I don't remember agreeing to that!"
ReplyDeleteMoral of the story - never marry an INTJ if you want household chores done.....
You know, the other funny thing is I have been ringing your house and getting some other bird telling me I have the wrong number ALL week! :-)
