[Tosh enters with a bucket - held at arm's length - and elbow-length rubber gloves, muttering under her breath] Some people have no appreciation. First you fix their precious coffee machine, then you agree to feed the Weevils for them so they can...go off and have new suits custom tailored or...whatever he's doing, and there's never so much as a "Thank you, Tosh". I could be doing something else, you know! Something important! Something that doesn't involve feeding aliens coffee grounds and Owen's leftover Chinese takeaway and the remains of Myfanwy's fish! [wrinkling her nose at the bucket, which is filled with the Hub's trash] Speaking of takeaway, we've really got to clean out the fridge more often. I think it's become home to a few alien cultures of its own.

[she sets the bucket down, peels off the gloves, and sits down several feet away from the bucket, looking thoroughly disgruntled]

I thought you said you didn't mind.

[geekgirltosh.livejournal.com]

I didn't think it would smell like this!

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

That's why I don't usually ask anyone else to do it. I've tried weaning them onto paper before since they seem to like it, but it just doesn't sustain them.

[geekgirltosh.livejournal.com]

Makes sense - paper doesn't exactly have any nutrients. I suppose if you wanted to, you could dose the paper with vitamins of some sort. And I tried finding a gas mask to wear, but I couldn't find any.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

I tried that already. The budget for feeding resident aliens didn't cover it. And I never use a gasmask. You get used to the smell after few months, or so.

[wrinkling her nose] I'll take your word for it.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

...I'm going to assume you aren't going to agree to do this again?

[geekgirltosh.livejournal.com]

[slight grin] See if you can get Owen to do it next time. I think half the stuff from the fridge is his, anyway.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

More than half. Why do you think I get so frustrated at being the one to clean it out?

[geekgirltosh.livejournal.com]

[shrug] I usually make sure my stuff's out of there before it reaches the toxic stage.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

You aren't Owen though, are you?

[geekgirltosh.livejournal.com]

Not last time I checked. [smirk] And aren't you glad for that.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

You've no idea. One Owen is already too much to clean up after.

[...kitty isn't going anywhere near that bucket. And it takes a lot to turn this cats stomach.] Honey, there ain't nothing alive that's gonna eat that trash.
