My sense of smell is returning : (
I woke up a couple of days ago and noticed the most amazing stench all the way up on the third floor. It was obviously a kitchen smell so I was late to work so I could scout for forgotten produce, take out the trash and disinfect the garbage disposal. During this time, the terrifying thought occured to me "maybe this is just what my house smells like!" Fortunately/unfortunately (I haven't decided yet) the fridge had died and all our food (there's about 6 to 8 of us here currently) was rotting. Of course, no one trusted the fridge hadn't magically mended itself so everyone kept openning it and letting the stink out.
The repair man finally showed up an hour and a half late and didn't have the parts to fix it that night. My landlord was furious and had to apologize for "using the bad word" to no avail and the repair man stormed out. To his credit, Skip bought us a new fridge and loaded all our food (throwing out the rotten stuff) by the time I got home from work today.
One of my roommates drew this on the message board in rememberance;
