oh also there is a mysterious beep in my house.
every fifteen minutes something quietly but shrilly emits a single beep.
i don’t know what it is. i finally started timing it after several hours, rather than just being like “oh that is weird” or “did you hear that” every single time. (inexplicably, the second or third time it happened I was like “do you hear that too or am I crazy” and dude seemed to have heard me instead of that say “what is that noise you have to find it and kill it”, which is not what I said and also why would I say that, so the next time when I was like “so you do hear that” he was like, all snappy, “god of course I do I don’t know what it is either stop asking” and the fact that I actually… hadn’t asked… doesn’t seem to have mattered? but like? i didn’t ask because I assumed he would have said “that’s X” if he knew what it was? am i giving him too much credit in my head? i don’t think that’s too much credit.)
so anyway, after a few more times, i mentioned to dude, well, the mystery beep, whatever it is, happens every fifteen minutes, and he’s all like “well I don’t know what it is” and I’m like “i know that? that’s why I’m trying to narrow down what it could be? and so data point # 1 is that it doesn’t happen randomly but happens on a schedule?” and he’s like “well don’t ask me I don’t know any more than you do”
and it’s at times like this that I get cranky that I’m like the only one of my friends who has a bachelor of arts instead of a bachelor of science because despite being the only one who has no math ability and thus was denied any science education, I’m the only person I know who fucking cares about the scientific method okay
christ I’m not asking him to psychically diagnose what’s going on with our house I’m just saying, we have senses and the capacity to make observations and keep records so let’s share our fucking observations my guy
it beeps every fifteen minutes and isn’t coming from the living room, kitchen, or our bedroom, so let’s start there
