National Weather Service, I'm putting you on probation. You didn't lie per se. And I wasn't wet today, so thank you. But you did say it'd be very warm, and only cloudy in the morning. And that's why I wore a short skirt today. It was warm for a minute, National Weather Service, then it was very cold for a very long time. I was cold for a very long time.
But really, it's ok. I had a very good day today. Great food, movie, music, friends, lost things found, and yes, maybe even a little nap in the library (I've got to stop doing that).
Oh, and 'Why Do These Things Happen To Me? Story #772'
Me: Hi, I'm calling to make changes to an order I had placed for balloons earlier this week.
Clerk: Balloons? We don't do balloons, this is Hannaford's.
Me: Um, I know. I called yesterday and placed an order.
Clerk: Like helium balloons? We don't do that at Hannaford's.
Me: But I've already placed the order yesterday. I was told that I could pick up at the service center, so could you maybe transfer me to the service center?
Clerk: This is the service center.
Me: Could you check your records then? Because somebody took my order and I ordered something yesterday.
(Many more minutes of arguing over the phone as I provide clerk with information on when I called, what I ordered, and how much everything was... the woman still had no idea what I was talking about and luckily for me, all of her managers were busy. And no one she asked knew anything about the balloons. Or any balloons of any sort. And this is why Tesco's is going to take over the world, and not Hannaford's.)
