customer service take two

Boy customer service REALLY does bite...I have been trying to get a copy of this book for two weeks now only to call today and be told that three freaking copies are currently sitting on the shelves! I calmly asked if my copy was being held and this guy panics, asks my name and says he has one held now. Geez....asked him to look up my special order and he replies "actually your copy is still on back order"....UGH!

whatever happened to customer service???

Mikey and I bailed out of work early today to see a matinée showing of Spiderman 3 (yeah yeah I know a lot of people say it sucks). Anyway, we get there and this bored-out-of-her-skull-and-I-couldn't-care-less-for-you attitude teenager behind the glass tells me "sorry the thingy is broken...the next show is 6:45". THINGY? Is that some new technical term I am supposed to be impressed with? Well, we both really wanna see the movie so I go to order a ticket for the next showtime only to be told (in a tone that suggested I was an idiot for asking) that the theater would not be giving me that ticket at matinée price because it was an after hours showing. WHAT?!?!?!? Like its my fault your "thingy" broke and that I now haveta hang around the mall for two plus hours AND eat the time I took off from work for this....man, customer service is gone for good kids. Does anyone even remember what it looked like? And rather than hang around the mall we drove back to work (this little trip took nearly an hour all said and done)and Mike calmly went back to work while I fumed a little, wrote a fairly nasty comment on the theater's "rate us" site and then wrote one for Mike too since he's too busy being productive rather than destructive like moi at the moment. Sadly, though it felt good at the time to get that out....I feel like a real witch right now....anyone seen my broom?

nothing new today.....

well, other than my new nail polish color that is (OPI's "Linkin Park After Dark" its a deep purple/almost black color). Thought I'd stick my head in and say hi anyway since I have nothing better to do at the moment. Yes it is Sunday and yes, I am working...but only because I missed a lot of time this week (errands, etc). Technically I still have to make up three hours but decided to just eat that time and let it go. Frankly, I don't want to be here. I wanna be home...Home.....HOME! I haven't seen much of it lately with living at Mike's for awhile and then he, Ronetta and I had a slumber party at his place this weekend. It was fun, but I wanna have some peace and quiet and time to just VEG OUT in front of the tv or to read a book with no one there...as you would expect however I invited Mike over for tacos tonight so I'd better get home and start frying up the hamburger. Why do I do these things to myself you ask? Cause I am an idiot who likes having people over even when she's really craving solitude! Besides, the book I ordered at Barnes and Noble ("Smoke and Ashes" by Tanya Huff) is still on back-order. sigh.
