I work at a laundromat, as some of you may know. Our prices have not changed since just after Katrina, five years ago and more. The dryers run for five minutes per quarter. There's a big sign on the wall stating this. There are also smaller signs on every dryer stating "DRYERS RUN FOR FIVE MINUTES PER QUARTER".
Now then, I told you all that to ask this one, simple, ironically rhetorical question.
What question do I get asked at least twice a shift?
Yep, that's right. "How long does a dryer run on a quarter"?
...there's a reason Chae-ri is such a great comfort to me.
"Dolls love to be played with. They are lonesome if you leave them always in a box. How would you like to be left day after day alone, with no one to love you?"
