I did it!
I think I just completed the task I am most proud of accomplishing in my entire year working with Habitat: I fixed the shaky toilet. Now, I'm not a married woman and my father has always been prompt with my mother's "honey-do" list, but I've heard all the office ladies appealing to Boss John to complete unfinished projects in the office as of late with all these menial tasks that are left over from the office remodeling project.
The bathrooms are nearly finished, though one is currently out of order and finishing another house within the next two weeks has taken appropriate precedent. Unfortunately, the one toilet we are using has been wobbly for the past couple of weeks. I've noticed it. The other ladies have been reminding Boss John to fix it. It has remained wobbly. Five minutes ago, I decided to take charge and fix it myself. All I had to do was tighten a couple of screws and I knew where to find them because my Dad had to show me how to do it on the toilet in my last apartment. ALL DONE! Just like that. I'm waiting for someone to thank Boss John for finally doing it, so I can sheepishly smile as he confoundedly wonders how it really came to be...or takes the credit at which point I'll be more than willing to correct him! Oh, I'm searching for compliments, aren't I? Yes, yes I am.
Sittin' pretty,
Construction Kim
