The day after the day after The Night

Well, I’m on hold with the customer serviceless department at Sears right now, so I thought I’d take this opportunity to blog a bit. I’ve been on hold for over 10 minutes so far. Love the fact that my phone has a timer on it.

I Hate Sears

I am officially adding the ^&*%$ “customer service” idiots at Sears to my “Things and People to Smite” list. You’d think that after spending several thousand dollars on a washer and dryer, and the pedestal bases that go under them, that they could service them in a timely manner. Nope. I put “customer service” in quotes because what they call “customer service,” laughably, is anything but. They ought to rename that whole division “customer serviceless.”

“Hey, do you know…”

Stopped by Walgreen’s this morning to pick up soda for today’s management meeting (last time I have to do that, as I’ve taken it upon myself to delegate the task of planning the meeting to our events planner) and Pam, Beauty Department rung up my order. After swiping the corporate AmEx, she asked, “Are you related to Margaret? I went to high school with her.” “Yes, she’s my aunt.”

Minions and Mignon

Prepping today for our management meeting tomorrow, and over lunch a colleague and I discussed, as we frequently do, new ideas and new concepts. We also re-hash old ideas and concepts, and try to psychoanalyze nearly everyone we work with. It’s a good time, and we typically choose delicious places to eat, so it’s win/win.

Happy Birthday M!

Today is M’s birthday. The anniversary of the birth of my husband, best friend, confidante. My rock…the person who keeps me grounded while also raising me higher than anyone else could.

Back in the groove

Not much to report today. We still have power. Wooo hooo! This probably doesn’t seem like news to those of you who don’t lose power all the time. But for those of us who do, this is major.

Wine Whine

Oooooooo. I have cobwebs in my head. You know, that kind of mucky feeling you have the day after you drink too much wine? Not so much hungover, or headachy, or anything like that. Just like I’m running a little slower today than normal. Head feels a little thick.
