So, what have we learned today?
1. Don't delegate the laundry. Ever. No matter how much your feet hurt, no matter how busy you are, just don't.
2. Permanent markers do exciting things when they come uncapped in the middle of a dryer load, especially an extremely overfilled dryer load.
3. Pocket check.
4. Don't delegate the laundry.
5. It doesn't matter if you have a spring in your step and a song in your heart, if you wash a mixed load on hot, you will get pink underwear.
6. Permanent marker, when liberally applied to the inside drum of a dryer, comes off with intense scrubbing with a soapy sock.
7. It does not come off the inside of the door. Dryers do not survive certain experiences unscathed.
8. Laundry disasters which ruin all your work clothes will somehow magically leave a terminally ugly shirt you hate completely unscathed.
9. Being in an 85-degree laundry room with no sink, a soapy sock to clean with, your head in the dryer, and a light on a fifteen-minute timer at four in the morning is the level of hell reserved for women who delegate the laundry.
10. Don't fucking delegate the fucking laundry. You will regret it later.
11. In terms of collateral damage, washing a three dollar Sharpie is a million times worse than washing a 100 dollar cell phone.
In other news, a small detour this evening has delayed my completion of my five page bullshit paper on nothing that I have to write for school tomorrow. Since I have another hour of laundry ahead of me, I might as well not sleep tonight. Especially since I know for a fact that all the laundry I did not tend to personally is wet in the baskets. I have some work to do.
