Dishwasher Blues
Sunday, February 7th, 2010About a month ago the bf and I bought a dishwasher. I can hear some of you saying, “welcome to the wonderful world of technology!” or “sheesh, only now?” but let me tell you, I always hated dishwashers because when I was younger, it was my sister’s duty to pack the dishwasher and mine to unpack. Unfortunately the dishwasher always needed unpacking at the most inopportune times. Like when I was just about to watch TV, or just about to read a book, or go out or something. Mom was pretty strict that the dishwasher was not to sit with dishes inside it for days, so it had to be unpacked within an hour or so of it being done.
Anyway. So finally I caved and said, “ok, let’s buy a dishwasher” and we did. I can happily say I’m a changed woman! I love the dishwasher! And the best part, I get to pack it and the bf unpacks it! Yay! For weeks now, I’ve only had to do a select few dishes, as some things we dont put in the dishwasher. For example, knives from our Nikkai Titanium set cant go in because the gold stripe will fade off, as well as our highball glasses as the patterns are fading. But it’s been bliss, not having to wash dishes. Pure bliss.
Until it broke. Yes, not even a month old and it leaks water onto the floor. Its not the tap, we checked, it’s definately the dishwasher. So now, we cant use it because water is coming in from the tap but not entering the washer itself. The good news is they’re coming on Monday or Tuesday to look at it, since it’s still under warranty but the bad news is, as I type, I try not to think about the load of dishes we had to unload from the dishwasher that are now sitting in my kitchen waiting to be washed. Yes, you’re probably pulling a face and saying, “eww!” but I just cant bring myself to go back to washing dishes. To think, I survived years without a dishwasher, but now a week of not having one sucks!
It just sucks! I’ve become spoilt haha.
