I think the next time I'm really, really pissed off at somebody--instead of calling them out, stewing or plotting their demise, I'm going to offer to do electrical work for them. Then, I'm going to install a fucking drop ceiling with flourescent lights in their goddamn kitchen

Wow. That is some serious planning and forward-thinking in that revenge plan. They'll think they've gotten away with it for years and years, never dreaming that your vengeance is literally hanging over their heads and biding its time for renovations.

I'm kind of impressed.

AND THEY WILL LOOK UP AT ME FROM AMONGST THE SHARDS OF PLEXIGLASS AND CRY: "SAVE ME"

And I will whisper: "no."

*CACKLE*

YOU ARE A STRANGE AND WONDROUS CREATURE INDEED, FAIR AND TREACHEROUS AND SHINING IN YOUR WRATH.

THEY WILL BOW DOWN BEFORE YOU AND WEEP TEARS OF REPENTANCE.

Also, think of it this way: if Scotty had owned your house before you, you would try to take down the ceiling and find out that hidden behind it was a labyrinthine network of tubes, conduits, string, and silly putty that appeared to be simultaneously supplying power to half of Africa and distilling moonshine for most of North America, and it may have developed sentience. You would not be able to do any renovations EVER, because if you tried the buzzing behind your walls would probably decide you were the enemy and take you out in your sleep.

So, um. Small mercies?

lol, note to self, never, ever get on nix_this's bad side (although, not going to lie, the potential of seeing you in a utility belt is tempting ;)).

[nix_this]

BB, I will model my working clothes for you anytime. You just have to ask ;)

[jaylee_g]

Tease...(have a thing for women in uniform ;))

[starpanties]

You should also add spiders to this revenge plot. You have some handy, right?
*ducks*

[nix_this]

Do you need any maintenance done, bb? :P

[starpanties]

*awkward laughter*

Well I hope you didn't cut yourself. And be glad the tubes didn't break. Because they don't so much break as explode. Like a Claymore full of glass and noble gases and unrealized dreams.

The fixtures were designed by a petty and cruel overlord who wants your dreams to DIE an ignoble death--you have to use a nerve wracking amount of force to get them into place (especially the 4' ones, whiich is YAY long, fragile and FUCKING AWKWARD. A prefect storm. AND ME ON A LADDER D=)

The ONLY redeeming quality is I've been here five years now and this is the first itme I've had to replace the lights...

[stripedpetunia]

I've replaced my share of 3' and 4' fluorescent bulbs at the bowling centre and I know what you mean. Just jiggling and twisting it around and going 'please please go in and stay and don't fall out and explode when I let go'.

On the other hand, throwing out the dead tubes was always a fun adventuretime: the dumpster is in an ONLY IF YOU PAY RENT HERE GODDAMMIT locked enclosure, which equals a backstop, which is super convenient for light tube javelin throwing competitions.

I mean, what?

[gottalovev]

You are so cunning. ♥_♥

First maintenance, tomorrow the world!

[nix_this]

MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!
