Money for nothing

Today I was in an small elevator with 4 men and a full upright Kitchen Aid refrigerator. And it all started out with chloramine.

Here is the full story. We got this letter in the mail from the Arlington County Department of Public Works. It said, "In the coming year our wholesale water producer, the Washington Aqueduct will convert its disinfection process from chlorine to chloramine." then it when in to detail explaining what changes that mean for you Bob Consumer. This read something like, "your drinking will no longer have that awful chlorine in it that makes it taste somewhat like Drain-o. It will now have the chemical chloramine in it which tastes exactly like Dran-o and will melt your fish.

So after calling Disani, The Culligan man, and the Army Corps of Engineers. My Father's company decided they needed a new Refrigerator. (No, don't worry, that didn't make sense.) That was a compeletly separate note . So any way since my dad owns the comany an we had a Refrigerator in at our house that would serve there needs. We bought a new Refrigerator and sent the old one to my dad's office. This was not as easy as it sounded. First two very nice Refrigerator movers had to come to out house. That was not even that easy since they were from the Kitchen Aid fatory in Batimore, the drove right by our house and we had to flaged them down by blinking all the lights in our house in morose code. Then after they got the Refrigerator up our front steps, which they had to do by taking the door off. Then they lugged it into our kitchen and installed it, and then put the doors back on. So as if that weren't a evenings worth of entertainment, They poor movers then had to take the doors off of the old refrigerator and carry it down the stairs. Then they brought it back to their truck to bring it to my dad's office. My dad ask me if I wanted to go with him. So I figured why not nothing good on T.V. tonight, so I went with him.

Went wen to the back service entrance where they unloaded the doors of the fridge. Then they moved the refrigerator up right in front of the elevator to put it in the elevator and bring it to the seventh floor were my dad's office is. They had put the refrigerator right in front of the door because it would make in easier to put it in the elevator and we figured, It's eleven O'clock at night what are the chances there will be a guy with an industrial size trash bin in the elevator, who needs to get out on, this, the service floor. So then the elevator doors opened to see a guy with an industrial size trash bin in the elevator, who needed to get out on this floor.

So we did a promenade with the refrigerator so the guy could get out. So then we got in the small service elevator with 1 refrigerator, 2 guys carrying it, me and my Dad both carrying the doors of the contraption, and my younger brother trying to push the buttons. I would suggest to any one who is afraid of being in elevators normally to try doing this some time and you will be cured for life. All I could do the hole time was stair at the little Maxium compasity sign.
