See you in hell, 2006!
2006 has been one crappy year. I've tried really hard over the last day or two to think of positives, since I'm typically a glass-half-empty kind of gal. I managed to think of a few: my boy and I are still together & happy, I've had some success in research depite all the bs from this summer, post-doc money has officially (in writing) been reserved for me until I choose to say yes/no.
All of those positive thoughts went straight out the window yesterday though. As a final "f-you" from 2006, our water heater broke and flooded part of our garage yesterday afternoon. We managed, after many hours, to drain the thing, get it out, and put the new one into the correct place. But, we had no water until a few hours ago because the valve on the cold water input pipe was stuck open and the coupler that would go from the old pipe to the new heater was stuck. So, we finally have it hooked up now, and have water, but we just figured out the valve is stuck open only halfway, so we can't fill the heater faster than we're draining it. Back to the Depot for more parts...
Despite this, we're still going for a good 2007. We're counting these heater problems as 2006 hangover.
