I was there to get some hot water for my tea, while the lady was there trying to toast her bagels as it's her lunch of sorts. It all started when she was complaining about the current toaster, how it is sometimes broken, takes a lot of time (and luck) to get it toasting. She was telling me that maybe it's time to get a new office toaster, and it's not difficult to just ask $5 from everyone and get a new decent one. She then said that there's a problem with this though:
- She's basically the only use using the toaster, no one else toast bread at the office.
- She's going on maternity leave soon, so she won't get to use it for long
I then talked about the toaster I have at my home, and cue the small talk part. Yeah, that's about it, it sounds mundane as hell, but sometimes mundane has its moments.
Anyway, I went to work again today, and went to the office pantry to get some tea as usual. That's when I notice a brand new, extremely shiny, silver toaster, and I was like :"huh, neat!" So I went to make my tea and stuff. As I was about to throw my used tea bag away, I noticed this:

I don't know, I just find it super funny that there is a toaster in the bin. I guess I have never really dispose medium-large electronic items? It's.... amusing.... to me....
Also, I called the City of St John's to report about a leaky fire hydrant. It's been leaking ever since I've walked by the place, but I guess I finally reported it. The problem is that I didn't know the address of the specific place. I told the helpline lady :"It's where the construction's at" but she insist she needs a civic address. Unfortunately, Google Maps couldn't help with this, so I just gave her the address of the closest store, hoping they would either look around it, or just see the leaky fire hydrant when they're passing by or something. Sigh.

Anyway, that's about it! I also got my bike fixed and now it's up and running. Just a short one today.
