It transpires that the kitchen pipes do that all the time, so the super keeps spare pipes of the right size and shape, one of which is now sitting under our kitchen sink. This was quick, so I was free to go to the library, where I found a helpful reference librarian; go to Union Square and get the last black raspberries in the market, and other good summer things; and pick up another week of antibiotics for Artemis. Andy is now at the gym.

The Unemployment Insurance people are getting weird again. Back when I was working part-time for the legal publisher, they wanted to know why I'd had a week when I didn't claim benefits, followed by one when I did. There's a form to fill out, after which they bother the employer in question to confirm what you tell them.
This time, they're asking why I had a week in which I didn't earn any money, after one in which I earned some but still claimed benefits. Never mind that (a) if I'd been working five days a week, I wouldn't have claimed anything in the first week, even if I'd made $3/day; and (b) the week they're questioning included a national holiday, on a Thursday so many people treated it as a four-day weekend.
I don't mind the five minutes and a stamp it's costing me: I mind that they're going to bother the person I'm working for. You'd think they don't want me working less than full-time.
