I have so much to do before I go to work today, ughhhh

My 1960s dishwasher smells like it's on fire, so I called my landlord and she's having maintenance come over on Monday to figure out why it's so loud and smelly all of a sudden. At least she was nice enough to come over and take a look at it. Plus she says that if the problem isn't fixable, we get a brand new dishwasher for free.

That doesn't change the fact that I have to do all this by hand when I get home tonight.

Damn it.

I wish I had a dishwasher. I don't even have a washing machine. Or a toaster. Or a microwave. But it's all good.

Our dishwasher saved me so much time and energy. Our washer/dryer units are in another building. I often wonder if Ki wants a toaster, but I'd have no use for it (gluten allergies make cross-contamination an everyday terror). We've got a nice microwave. We have so many nice things; I don't know why I'm so mad about the dishwasher.

I don't like dish washers. I don't trust them enough and rather hand wash.

I never used to see a need for it either, until I could load all my dishes in it and half an hour later they'd be spotless, with zero effort.

But I don't mind hand-washing. It's just time consuming.

I can only see the importance of it if there are like the loads get out of hand. For two people hand washing isn't that bad but if there are like seven people(wife and five kids) then I could see how it would be time saving.

It's just my "get it done yesterday" life. But I think I'll be hand-washing for an eternity 'cause my dishwasher makes me paranoid now.

I would need a top of the line dishwasher if I ever got one. Needs to be modern and have water conserving features.

Ours probably has remnants from Christmas dinner in '77.

But if it's too far gone, we'll get a new one.
