all about chemistry
...and it was buzzing again.. ...only this time it was 7.16, minutes away from my scheduled getting up time of 7.20...another 4 minutes and I should be in the shower. I have to be, only yesterday did my manager's boss sent an e-mail pointing out the lack of a version number in one of my documents. It'd been two weeks since I stepped into the office before 9.30. Go on Olivia, I told myself, do it. Do it for the sake of er...7.20!!! I grabbed the towel and rushed out of the bedroom - only to find the Russian Flatmate heading towards the shower too. Following an exchange of puzzled, sleepy smiles, I figured that she had just said that she would really quickly shower and be out in five minutes! But hold your breaths my surmising readers, for this is a shocker – I boldly (ahem!) replied “er…do you mind if I take a shower first please?...I am sorry but I really have to, I didn’t have one yesterday…sorry..I have to…sorry” To which there was a one-line answer “Sorry doesn’t really help”, turning around and stomping off. I quickly got into the shower, forgetting my bath lily…and started wetting my hair until I realised that the Russian flatmate had gotten into the toilet next door and was running the hot water at it’s speediest speed ever! So in essence, though I was in the shower I wasn't really taking one. It was choice between resigning to a life of dirt or being executed by the Russian Flatmate. I chose the latter and continued using the powerless shower to wash my hair, but owing to the lack of free flowing water, I hurried and started drying myself in less than 2 minutes, all this time anticipating the fate that awaited me outside the shower – there was none, the Russian flatmate was still enclosed in the neighbouring toilet. I went to my room and watched Gordon Brown showing his implanted beauties without explaining why I can’t have one of those on the NHS. Got dressed and waited and waited until I heard the front door roar with Russian flatmate’s anger and then I knew it was safe to dive into the quotidian world of the underground – surprisingly, no really surprisingly, there were delays! There are two kinds of people in the world: Ones who to do things and others who feel guilty. And if you can make predictions, I am the latter kind. So, gasping a breathe of freshly polluted morning air at Paddington Station, I texted her: “Hi Russian Flatmate, thanks very much for letting me shower first this morning. Sorry, if I seemed inconsiderate but I have a meeting today I had to get ready for. Really appreciate this…and thanks again.” I haven’t had any replies, so I am guessing I will have to go with the suggestion of buying her some chocolates this evening.
...and it was buzzing again...

Fab / Website (6.12.06 10:32) oo Chocolate is always good! (that was until i went to my code below and it was HIPPO) |
|
quips (6.12.06 10:43) i say revenge. |
|
Olivia Joules / Website (6.12.06 11:00) Fab, Chocolate? Do you really think that for a crime as sinister as this, I will be able to get away with a chocolate? Do you really? Quips, REVENGE? Do you mean she should get her revenge, surely I have done my part of the deed? |
|
erudite baboon / Website (6.12.06 11:04) I think I know an easy way to resolve this. Each night before you go to bed put a sign on the shower door saying 'reserved'. |
|
Cheapy (6.12.06 11:25) You haven't done anything wrong, but if you buy her chocolates it will look like you think you did something wrong. You asked her nicely to make a compromise, and she agreed (ungraciously), end of story. If I have learned anything in life, it's don't go out of your way to appease an unreasonable bitch. Buy chocolate for yourself! |
|
quips (6.12.06 11:36) can you honestly say you enjoyed your shower? did you get to make the most of your overdue defiance. No, she took that moment away from you forever. I think some excessive tap-running is in order and then please blog as the whole arrangement disappears into anarchy. |
|
foxinthesnow / Website (6.12.06 13:01) Yes, Cheapy's right, definitely do not buy her chocolates. She's a grumpy old mare and you shouldn't pander to her. |
|
Chintzy / Website (6.12.06 13:08) Don't buy HER chocolates, buy some for yourself. You've done nothing wrong and have nothing to feel guilty about. She sounds like a horrible mare. ----- Also, are you saying Gordon Brown has breast implants? |
|
sungirltan / Website (6.12.06 13:24) what a biatch her not you x |
|
undercovercookie / Website (6.12.06 14:26) DO NOT BUY HER CHOCOLATES. because you'd be rewarding her for being a cow. The text message was right to do, but she was ungracious about the shower and then sabotaged it. That you chose to show you were overlooking tha(via text) is good, the chocolate are totally the wrong message (not to mention over the top even if she HAD been nice) |
|
Olivia Joules / Website (6.12.06 15:30) EB, what about her boyfriend who showers really late at night? Quips, you just want to sit back and enjoy the drama, don't you? I am afraid Britain wouldn't get free entertainment out of Russia and India, ahem! Cheapy, FoxintheSnow, Chintzy,SGT, Undercovercookie: But I am SCARED that from now on, she will NOT talk to me! These days we have a problem with our front door lock so she sometimes opens it for me but now, now, she probably won't do that for me (surely a bar of chocolate would help me keeping warm indoors in the cold winters ahead?) Chintzy, I only noticed the teeth implants, may be you noticed Breast implants? Please feel free to elaborate. |
|
foxinthesnow / Website (6.12.06 15:51) Forget it! It'll make you feel small and be rewarding her rudeness. You've moving out soon, try not to let her get you down. xx |
|
erudite baboon / Website (6.12.06 17:00) Once he sees the reserved sign he will just have to wait his turn, so he won't take showers at silly times any more. Two birds with one stone! |
|
Olivia Joules / Website (7.12.06 11:05) For those interested, here's an update: I went home, she pulled a face but I smiled at her anyway (like I usually would) she went into her room and came out and then warned me about the oven being hot and then started talking normally. We discussed that I usually get up at 7.15 and that's the time I take a shower and it was all ok in the end....may be she isn't as bad as I think she is? |
|
Amy / Website (7.12.06 21:09) You're such a sweetie Joules. She's mean.xx |

we hate cleaning / Website (14.2.12 10:57) Today is St. Valentine's Day! You need to plan your romantic dinner - cook a delicious meal, buy a good wine, maybe some roses and candles to spread around the room. But first of all you need to clean. Cleaners Aldgate claim that there is no better way to ruing a romantic dinner than a dirty and smelly room. So, you do not have much time, if your place is a mess, better quickly call professional cleaners Camden Town |
