I have no idea if this poll will display in my unpaid Livejournal account, but here goes.
</poll-638>

I have the best housemate ever: black_samvara chiseled my door frame so now my door closes properly! <3 Although now it's kind of stuffy... *opens door*

We have hot water! And coming soon: a fully functional solar hot water system! *crosses fingers*

We've been without hot water for three weeks. My experience of this was far less traumatic than I thought, thanks to the fact that it's the middle of Perth summer, and there's a shower at work (work being a large local government council/administration building, built in the 1970s). I was chatting to icouldskateaway, who was surprised by the presence of showers at work. I'd never actually considered it either way, but thinking about it: I've done two local governments, and two departments within one university, and I'm looking at a 50/50 ratio for showers. It's highly likely that local government number one had a shower secreted away somewhere, but I never had the need to look. Now I'm curious.

So! Basic-account-poll, if you are so inclined (please fill out responses in comments :P):

- I do/do not have a shower at my workplace.
- My workplace type is...

I was pondering this one night, remembering a long-ago coffee conversation with cupidsbow, about how people think. She was saying that some people don’t think in pictures, they think in words. This fascinated me, as I’ve heard several people talk about, say, watching the stories they’re writing unfold as if on a movie screen, and I’ve never experienced anything like that, at least not without a lot of conscious effort.

So, in an attempt to figure how everyone else thinks, a poll. Even composing this was hard, because I first had to figure out how to describe how I thought, and then figure out how other people might think…

For the purposes of the exercise, imagine that you’re recalling a conversation with someone, or that you’re rehearsing something in your mind.
