Isn't it ironic!

I've had a rather healthy dose of irony in my life lately, which come to think of it, really isn't entirely unusual. The subject matter I am about to discuss is relatively uninteresting, but I figured it was a perfect example of the "what-is-up-with-that?" nature of my world.

The bathtub in my bathroom is tragically small and much too short for an adequate bubble bath, but despite its constant shortcomings, it has recently developed a new one. The drain hasn't been draining during showers, leaving an annoying pool of sudsy water swirling at my feet. Sadly, this is not the only problem. A few days ago, while trying to plug the drain so I could soak in mounds of vanilla-scented bubbles, I discovered that this heinous drain will also not fully plug...This means that it won't drain when needed and will suck water out by the gallon when I'm desperately trying to fill a much-deserved bath.

Something working when it shouldn't and crapping out when it should be just peachy...story of my life. Just ask my (sixth) hard drive. ;-)
