I have the flu. I've had it since Tuesday. Flu KILLS any desire to do anything but...
A) Sleep...
B) Moan & Groan...
and/or...
C) Find Fault with the World.
I fell into a HUGE vat of C) today!!!
My Error was to begin re-drawing the Electrical Plan for the Upstairs Apartment. This task landed on the To-do List right after last night's stunning AND unexpected Victory in winning Mr. You's Approval for a New Bathroom Design. New design, new lighting plan.
Oh, never mind about outlets & switches. What I really, really, really dislike is to specify where & how & what with light fixtures. I don't know what kind of lights I want in the first place.
The Bathroom's niche is a good example... according to the New Bathroom Design, the sink goes in the niche. The niche has a gentle arch for a roof, so to speak. Do I want to put a light in the arch... OR... do I want two lights on each side?
Yes... I guess I could trot over to our local light store... a marvelous man, Paolo owns it and he's a genius, not forgetting to mention that he is very elegant too... to select some light fixtures, and then, draw up the electrical plan afterwards.
Well...
A) I am sick and prefer not to infect The Whole World... though I would gladly infect a few politicians...
and...
B) I am not in the mood right now!!!
and...
C) It is 2011, right? Why do we still need to feed electricity through wires? I say... it is time Science... or, Engineering... or, some Wizard Inventor... eliminated the wires run through plastic tubes under flooring & up walls and replace them all with telepathically savvy lights, appliances, laptops... hair-dyers, for cryin' out loud!!! We should have electrical stuff which can beam their electrical needs to & from a central electrical feed-box... like wireless Internet connections. Simple.
I feel I have blogged about this before. Knowing me and My Standard Complaints, I have. Forgive me, please. Now, it's time for my medicine. Gads.
