one handed community

Image612.jpeg

i'm typing one-handed after slicing my finger open on a piece of glass stuck in the dishwaser pump. the pump's been grinding on it for weeks. i also found in the pump: a chopstick, a bread tie, a clothing tag doohickey and foil. i live with other people, but i seem to be the only one who notices that these things do not belong in a dishwasher. it's not easy typing one-handed because the keyboard on our community compter has only three legs after an unseen incident. whenever i hit a key over in the "qwe" region the keyboard lurches. i found the missing fractured leg while vacuuming. perhaps the cats did it. the tripod keyboard actually replaces the original keyboard. someone busted the "e" key off of it a ways back and never said anything about it. when things break, no one ever seems to know how they broke. it's always a mystery. there are upsides to living communally. at the moment, with my finger bleeding profusely they're hard to conjure.
