All Night Laundry - In which you just have to press down hard - 2019 12 19

UPDATE - 2163 - In which she was a good magician

UPDATE - 2164 - In which they count

UPDATE - 2166 - In which hesitation is all it takes

You skipped over 2165.

"She probably knew what she was doing" has led to many disasters.

Just pointing that out.

Thanks Dragon! I keep forgetting to update this thread...

UPDATE - 2167 - In which it really comes down to the definition of 'belong'
UPDATE - 2168 - In which she really is on a LOT of drugs

UPDATE - 2169 - In which she's not a lot of things

UPDATE - 2170 - In which this place is familiar, but not to her
UPDATE - 2171 - In which it's the window or bust

UPDATE - 2172 - In which it's loud

UPDATE - 2173 - In which there's no such thing as too much lubricant

.. Kendra thinks as she applies too much lubricant.

For a wooden window frame circa 1912 you'd want to use something with high viscosity, like grease or wax, which would have to be rubbed on the rails. Soaking it with oil would make the wood swell, and cause the window to become completely stuck ... but probably not right away, so I guess if you just need to open the window right now and are not worried about closing it again, this is a viable option.

UPDATE - 2174 - In which she probably should have just loitered

teg: In Kendra's case, there isn't really the concept of 'again' to worry about here. There literally isn't enough time. I would agree, not something you do to actual windows.

UPDATE - 2175 - In which this was also not in the plan

UPDATE - 2176 - In which she's got proof

UPDATE - 2177 - In which you really don't want to cut yourself on that

UPDATE - 2178 - In which it's all a bit much

UPDATE - 2179 - In which small things have big consequences

UPDATE - 2180 - In which it's armed and dangerous

I assume not everything has gone smoothly on Kendra's end.

I assume what Dragon Fogel assumed.

UPDATE - 2181 - In which they could be better

I mean... it could be worse!

UPDATE - 2182 - In which that's not why she's here

UPDATE - 2183 - In which Kendra contemplates bailing

UPDATE - 2184 - In which he doesn't leave!

The thing to do here is play up your nervousness. It's your first day on the job and you've already messed up real bad! You've been so worried that you completely forgot the package and didn't realize until now!
