My girlfriend got into town last night, and I have the day off. One of the first things I discovered was that in my state of antici.....pation yesterday morning, I'd left the iron. For over 24 hours, as it turned out. "Did you leave the iron on?!" I exclaimed.
"No!" she retorted. "And I didn't adjust the thermostat or any of the other things."
"No, no, I was just wondering if I left the iron on yesterday. Oh God. At least it's on 'acrylic' - good thing I was ironing work clothes."
