"Speak Softly and Carry a Big Stick"

[GoatGal]

OK. Now I'm pissed.

H has had this thing about running the dehumidifier in the basement 24/7 even with our new AC system.

He knows that emptying the bucket is difficult for me.
He was supposed to plumb it into the main line WEEKS ago... guess he's got better things to do.

So today I get back from the vet with yet another sick dog to find that the thing had overflowed all over the floor.

I spent about an hour trying to mop it up, finally ran out of towels.

H gets here, seems rushed---an early day off from work, so who knows why?
Already with a beer in hand, I start to tell him about the overflow and he says:

"What did you do, drop the bucket all over the floor?"

Me: "No, when I got home with Ambrose I saw it had overflowed all over, I then emptied the bucket and unplugged it."

(There is still a LOT of water in the basement.)

Him: "Well, aren't "you" going to DO anything about all the WATER!!!???"


Grrrrrrrrrrrrr.......


ME: SWEETLY!
"I already went through every available towel to mop it up, I am not able to move the furniture
(AND ALL YOUR CRAP YOU'VE GOT ALL OVER THE PLACE! Didn't say this. )..
"I did the best I could... this just happened..."

HIM: Sighing heavily.... looking annoyed.
(Why? Because he has to spend an extra 30 minutes taking care of our home? Guess so!)

ME: (Couldn't hold it) "I understand you want to be here as briefly as possible, but it's not my job to deal with this right now. While you're here I appreciate you taking care of it."
(SINCE YOU'RE THE ONE WHO INSISTS ON RUNNING THE DAMN THING EVEN THOUGH I CAN'T EVEN EMPTY IT EASILY!!!! Didn't say this part. )


He is definitely pissy.. wonder what's really going on.
Now he's down there with the Shop-Vac, looking angry.

I am NOT going to read anything into this.
