Shut Up & Write

You love it. You loathe it.
Either way, you can't help yourself. You are one of us.
(You are also a masochist. But that's OK.)

Struggling (and more often fighting) writer by trade, and office monkey when I need to pay my bills. It's an enviable life.
I know, you're probably a little jealous now.
It's perfectly understandable.

The Thermostat War... It's funny because it's true

The Onion - Marital Frustrations Channeled Through Thermostat.

Only in our house, the war continued all through the winter as my father refused to put the heat past 17 degrees celsius (62 degrees for the U.S. folks) -- and that was in the warmest room in the house. Late at night and during the day (everyone was at work or school), it was dropped down to 14 degrees (57 degrees).

Thermostat was rigged up with timers that were locked up in the basement.

By mid-winter, our front hallway had frost formed in the corners.

My father also put a timer on the television -- no TV except between six p.m. (when he came home) and 11 p.m. (when he went to bed).
