bendy

Gina arrived this afternoon, which means my remaining two days will be a lot more fun, in addition to a lot more likely to involve alcohol consumption.

She was just looking through the kitchen cabinets and found a package of straws that she purchased almost a year ago back in the old neighborhood of the original corporate apartment. I had noticed the package before but never looked at it, since I don't use straws. Gina just pointed out to me why she bought them:



BENDY STRAWS PVT. LTD.!!!! NEW WAY TO ENJOY DRINKS!!!

Pvt. Ltd. (Private Limited) is the Indian equivalent of "inc." in the U.S., by the way.

Now I am instructing her on the Mysterious Ways of The Corporate Apartment, including what to do when the lights go out, how to get filtered water, how to use a pen to wiggle the washing machine latch, what that crazy chirping sound is (doorbell), what to do if you hear running water (INVESTIGATE IMMEDIATELY), etc. It's a lot to learn, but Gina is a smart cookie and I'm sure she will survive the 5 or 6 days here without me starting Saturday.
