A "sinking" feeling...

So last evening, I was preparing dinner and realized that one of the pans I would need in order to caramelize some onions was dirty. So my natural inclination was, of course, to wash it. So I did the usual process, a dab of soap in the pan, got some hot water in it and began to wash the pan. The pan has been used to cook soup, and so there was a bit of the soup that I was rinsing down the drain. As is my habit, I ran the garbage disposal following the rinsing and the washing, and the rinsing again of the pan. This is where the trouble all started.

To my horror, as I ran the garbage disposal, the water that I was running down it, was not going down the drain, but rather was resurfacing on the other side of the two basin sink! I immediately turned the disposal off, and waited... for 5 minutes, and still nothing had drained. Mustering my nerve I reached into the cloudy and icky looking water, seeking to find a source of the clog on either side. I discovered nothing. I rushed downstairs to obtain the drain cleaner, and after thoroughly reading the instructions, proceeded with the drain cleaning procedures.

Two hours later, the sink had yet to fully drain. I then followed the instructions for "what to do if it doesn't drain after procedure #1." Two hours later the sink was fully drained. I felt as though all my problems were solved! I was excited. This morning however, I went to do the dishes from last evening's dinner, and discovered to my utter dismay... that once again the sink wasn't draining.

I'm at my wits end. It's left me with a rather sinking feeling.

Sorry for the short post today, and for none yesterday. Yesterday, I got a job with Convergys, so what would have been blog time was spent filing out HR paperwork. And today, I need to go and do some more research on the sink...

So until next time loyal readers, this has been another blogcast of the Rogue Signal. Goodnight, and good luck.
