Today is Tuesday. Taco Tuesday though I had Chile verde for dinner. Yesterday I did not post. Let me fill you in on Monday. Up at 530. Did the usual. Went to work around 745. Got coffee on the way. Got to the office. Worked till 1030 pm. Went home. Ate dinner. Bed. I am thrilled too.
Today was better. Same as every other morning till Emily left at 625. Ate breakfast. Then I had a few calls.
I had neglected to cancel my phone and internet at the old address. I called. After five minutes of automated voice and fake typing sounds I was put on hold. Twenty minutes later I hung up. Tired of the hold. I called back and of course got the automated ATT idiot. He put me into tech support. I guess the automated guy can’t hear too well. He translated disconnect as tech support. But, I got a live person immediately. She was dumbfounded that I was talking to her. But she got me to customer retention very quickly. And I told the new gal what I had been through. She was so sorry. Sure. But she did process the order very fast.
I called Home Depot about our washer/dryer order. The very rude operator just kept saying the delivery was rescheduled and did not care that she was wrong. I decided to just go into the store where I could grab someone if needed.
I cancelled the next utilities online. That worked well.
I know I called one more place, I love talking to customer service pros, but can’t remember who.
Next a quick shower and I’m off to town. Stopped at grocers for a few items. And a cup of coffee. Then to Home Depot. I cornered the woman, Julia, in appliances. I asked her if she had time for a chat. She had & hours. Perfect. I related my tale of woe. Three calls over the last few days. Three different delivery dates. No call from anyone for delivery. Very rude lady that morning. So Julia went on her computer and verified my story. Finally I have a friend. She gave me a $50 credit. She called the manufacturer and the delivery co. The mfr’r gave me an “inconvenience allowance” which is nice.
I feel much better and am beginning to believe I may get the stuff delivered soon. Julia is confident as well. I drove to work.
Ok, here it is, I worked all day doing taxes. I had only one appointment at 5. That’s it. Emily was complaining last night that I never come home. So tonight I am leaving by 7. We can have dinner together.
I was home by 8. Emily called so I could pick up baking soda. She is making banana bread.
We had our carnits and Chile verde, together, at the table. Emiky was pleased.
After dinner we watched the Bachelor. Had to, we only get one station. I stopped paying attention about two minutes in. I hate that crap.
Now, bedtime. I am exhausted. It’s probably all the blogging. Off to bed
