Next time I’ll just wear them in the shower.

This evening a decided to throw a pile of clothes in the washing machine in an attempt to turn them back into items that I could wear out in public without disgusting everybody within a 40 meter radius of myself. I tossed the collective filth into the machine and walked off back to my computer for a few hours before remembering I needed to transfer everything to the dryer. I went back to the laundry room, opened the washer and dryer and pulled out the first shirt on top. As I went to put it in the dryer, I noticed little bits of white stuff all over it and upon closer examination, I realized what it was. I had left something in my pocket.

Shit.

I began racking my brain trying to figure out what I had left in what pair of shorts. Having absolutely no clue, I finally decided my best bet was to try and piece together this mystery piece of paper. Here and there I found small clumping of paper the size of fingernails, but of course I couldn’t read shit on them. I was lucky if I could make out one letter on each scrap, much less a word. And heaven forbid a single piece of paper stay intact when I touch it instead of crumbling under the crushing weight of my index finger. This fun game went on for ten minutes before I lifted a sock and spotted my savior…a piece of paper double the size of a quarter! I ran and grabbed a flashlight, less I want to touch it with my acidic hand and destroy the only remaining piece of evidence of whatever the fuck this thing was. I shone the light down in the washer, squinted to see what was on the scrap, and saw a part of my school logo.

Oh yeah, it was that stupid letter from USC. I didn’t need that anyway. I did, however, need the 20 minutes I wasted trying to figure out what in the hell it was.

The kicker though? I completely forgot to put in washing detergent, so I had to do the whole load over again.

The lesson here is to never do laundry. It’s pointless.

    Stan, somehow I thought you’d appreciate the length of this post. I promise, only one more long post about graduating college (and that might even end up being short) and then it’s back to stuff like this.

    Lol, that was so funny! I hate when stuff like that happens to your washing, makes you just want to throw in the towel…(bad joke)

    Last night I had a dream that I suddenly decided to do a semester in Australia. Amusing since I graduated college 6 years ago. Of course, in typical Jaime fashion I had two days to prepare for it - so all through my dream I was running around like a chicken with its head cut off and all I wanted to do was sleep.

    Something really amusing was you were actually in the dream. And so was shyzer! It was so very, very odd. You and I were at a bar (always a good thing to do when you don’t have much time on your hands) and my laptop was there and you were updating shyzer with my Australia plans. It was odd, very odd.

    I’ve made it into the dreams of one of my readers? Sweeeeeeet. Did I at least show you come cool places to go in Australia? =)

    And Fellner, get used to it bud. This is the kind of stuff coming to Shyzer in the near future.
