So last night I went home and immediately went to the kitchen. I went straight to the oven and preheated it at 375 degrees. I was gonna bake me up some macaroni and cheese! So then I went upstairs and and changed my clothes and checked my email while the oven warmed up. After I was done with that stuff I went back downstairs to check on the oven. It was at temperature so I turned the knob to "bake" and popped in the tray with the mac and cheese.
Then things went horribly wrong. I guess I should first mention that i have a bit of the OCD. It is a very mild case so I guess it's not really an OCD, more like a little quirk. It only manifests itself when I am completely alone because I don't want people thinking i'm crazy or something. I have a tendency to flip switches, turn knobs and pull levers.
So I popped the mac n cheese in the oven and closed the door. Well, you know that lever at the top of the oven door? The one that you use when the oven is in "clean" mode? Well I couldn't resist pulling that lever over to the other side. Every oven that has had it that I have pulled makes this "kerplunk" sound. In the past I have sat there like an idiot pushing and pulling it back and forth. ::kerplunk:: ::kerplunk:: I really am a retard. So there was something different about this oven that I was using for the first time. THE LEVER LOCKED WHEN I PULLED IT THE FIRST TIME!
Why did it lock? It wasn't in "clean" mode it was in "bake"! So I freaked out because now my mac n cheese was trapped in the oven. The door wouldn't open and the lever wouldn't go back to the "open" position. My mac n cheese was being "self cleaned"!!! Oh man was I sweating up a storm.
I ran upstairs and sent IMs to everybody that was online asking for their help. I IM'd spritopher, brodee, nakie, and tiny ezi. None of them could really help me but they were able to "laugh with me and not at me"...yeah right they were laughing at me for being a retard. I even went on the Corvette Forum and asked for their help. They laughed at me. I called The Funk because he is the only one I have ever seen use our oven. He didn't know what the hell to do but he did know that it was funny. I called my roommmate and he was all like, "i don't ever use that oven, I don't know."
So I eventually decided to just turn the oven off. To my surprise afer cooling down for a bit the lever gods took pity on me and allowed me to push the lever back to the "open" position. I reset the oven to "bake" and the temp to 375 and let the mac n cheese finish baking. This time I resisted the urge to pull the lever. I think my OCD is cured for good.
My co-worker just gave me some rice pudding for breakfast. mmmmm rice pudding! IT IS NOT FLAN IT IS REAL RICE PUDDING NOT THAT FAKE JAPANESE PUDDING THAT IS REALLY FLAN BUT THEY DON'T KNOW IT FOR SOME REASON BECAUSE THEY ARE JAPANESE AND HAVE EATEN TOO MUCH FUGU AND HAVE GONE WONKY IN THE BRAIN!
