Two Out of Four Elements

doronjosamaWe once again have air, and we once again have hot water. The regular (read: not the weekend 311-douche) maintenance guy came by today after ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
willworks went in and put in another work order. He yammered on his cel phone about Mexican restaurants and who was dating whom the entire time he was here, but he made the air conditioner work, and made the standing water under it go away. Then, of course, after three weeks of nothing, he turned on our hot water taps and lo, warm to hot water came out. It's a September miracle.
Now, we have a manga due in four days, tons of mail order to get out and books of our own to work on. I will probably not be online much in the next few days.
Also, I would like to smack any manga translator who deems it necessary to type out an entire script with THE CAPSLOCK KEY PRESSED. Just because comic lettering appears to be all capital letters doesn't mean it actually is. I have to go through and adjust the "I's" in everything, because the rule is that only personal pronoun "I's" should be serif (read: capitalized); the others are supposed to be non-serif. I have to change every freaking letter "I" in the script by hand, since our version of Word is too old to understand capitalization for the find-and-replace function. Rrraaargh! Elin smash!
