I've been horrered by edjits lately. They do stuff that I didn't want in a piss-poor way.
Yesterday I had to ease some windows that had suffered the attentions of joiners and painters. For they were not closed.
The joiners hadn't done a good job, unfortunately I knew what their mistake was. I decided on a fix. Hadn't really thought it through.
Which is why I found myself standing on a ladder struggling trying to hold a big, heavy window in place.
A big heavy window that was irreplaceable and might fall on irreplaceable kids.
I was terribly panicked.
Life is like that, sometimes you are on your own with something that you can't walk away from.
There was a moment there when I wanted to die, as soon as people arrived I wanted to kill.

Been there, done that. Only I was on my own and didn't lose moral high ground because it was my little secret - so long as no-one looked too close.New comment
Yep, done that too. My ceilings are 3.5m high, windows to suit. Luckily my partner was in the next room and able to come to my - and any innocent bystanders - rescue. Terrifying! Glad you were OK. xNew comment
Oops!
Very happy to see you have survived...and I am assuming the precious children did, too.
