What Life Is Like

Have you ever wondered what it is like to be mid-late 20-something non-profit workers with Master’s Degrees in the Liberal Arts and Social Studies?

The heat index today was 108. Tomorrow is a very heated state primary election. We are just at the end of a heroic flea battle. I think we won this time. The basement was sprayed with harsh chemicals last night. We had locked the cats in the basement for two days while we de-flea-ed them and the house. Now we need to de-flea the basement. So, the cats’, and when I say cats I mean three felines, litter pan is in the downstairs half-bath. At home today, the plumber came to snake the drains and discovered our upstairs bathroom toilet is causing a small leak in the basement, so we cannot use the upstairs bathroom toilet until the $1500 repair is made. So, we will just have to use the toilet in the downstairs half-bath that is attached to the kitchen. As for the housemates. Housemates A & B are moving to Seattle sometime between now and the 30th of August, so they are selling off the contents of their lives on Craigslist. Housemate C is at the emotional apex of a breakup with her girlfriend of two months. The girlfriend has been one of Housemate A’s best friends for years. I am supposed to do poll work all day tomorrow, expected heat index of 104, but my candidate does not yet have a single printed piece. Tonight, because it is very hot and we are very tired of being mid-late 20-something non-profit workers with Master’s Degrees in the Liberal Arts and Social Sciences, we are going to drink Malibu in pina colada Slurpees.
