Craptastic. Do you want the good or the bad first?
Ok, the good first. Tonight I get to go on a date with my wife. I have had this date planned for two months now (actually, a little over two months, but both ticketmaster and the venue wouldn’t release tickets until April 15). We are going to the Mountain Winery to have dinner and attend a concert by Ottmar Liebert. I am so looking forward to having a night with my wife that I can hardly contain myself. This is going to be awesome, if we can get past the bad…
I bought a new washer and dryer last night. They the high efficiency jobs that clean clothes with like 3 ounces of water and dry them in 10 seconds. And as part of the purchased I bought delivery for this morning (between 8:00 AM and 12:00 PM). Well, as of 12:45 they were not here. Not only that, I didn’t even get a phone call. So I called Lowes and after playing hold tag with the customer service girl for 20 cycles, actually got connected to a manager who told me that the merchandise I bought had been loaded for deliver this morning but she could not see anything else about the delivery. She told me she would call me back with more information as soon as she knew more.
A few minutes later I got a call from the delivery guy telling me they had a heck of a morning, and circumstances being what they were, he would be here about 2:30. Well, given that we had a concert tonight and there were things I wanted to do for my wife, like take her shopping for an outfit or get her nails done, I was now stuck in my home waiting for this darn delivery. I also needed to get my haircut, so a few minutes ago I called them and told them to switch the delivery date until tomorrow because we were not going to be available after 3:00.
EDIT – After I called Lowes and told them to reschedule the delivery, the deliver guys showed up at the house and dropped off our new equipment. I haven’t had a chance to play with them yet, but they sure are pretty. I also need to get the gas line hooked up, but that should be easy enough. Anyway, its off to a concert for me and my honey. Talk at you later.
