put the big "B" on my chest and implement! (read all 8 entries…)

Ya'll wanna hear about my day? 4 years ago

If not,

Don’t read on…

I woke up, got the elder one off to school and the younger one settled with the babysitter. Drove an hour to Appleton to exchange the Bose ipod dock and a palm.

The palm is for my husband for Christmas. It is a new documenting system that myself and our office staff are buying him. Did I get the right PDA for the program. NO. Of course not. So I exchange the palm for an HP that runs pocket PC which is more versitile.

After three days of hearing the hubby complain that he does not like that he cannot hook the speakers to the TV, the docking system is exchanged for a cheaper one.

Coming home, feeling productive and believing that all of my worries are over and all will go smooth… Can ya’ll tell that it didn’t go that way?

So I start sneakily cleaning out one of the computers, as I am also giving this to the hubby for the new system, then uploading all of the pertainent programs to said computer. And guess what… the computer is too old to support it. So I have to give up the big computer so that our plans are not compromised.

The hubby then comes home and asks, “Where’s the Bose?”. I, of course, responded, “I exchanged it.” “I was really starting to enjoy it. Go back and get it.”

Well, here and now, and that I don’t use this word often, is the perfect word for what I’m thinking. Shit.

Then, then, he wants me to print off the communique from Medicare for the office, which is nearly 300 pages, and takes forever to print, before he goes back to work.

That just wasn’t happening… not enought time. I got 80 printed off.

To figure out more of what I wanted to do, I could not. The little one didn’t want a nap today.

And then, to make matters worse, I am 22 cheers behind. courtesy, of course, to the goblin

So I have figured out what I’m going to do.

1) Give him my big computer.
2) Purchase, after the first of the year a huge computer to replace the big computer for myself.
3) I’m not exchanging the new speakers for the Bose, but will rather wait and get a Bose Wave system that the ipod could also hook up to.
4) I’m ordering delivery pizza because I don’t want to cook.
5) I’m going to step up my efforts to find the goblin and gently convince him to allow me to have cheers.
6) if numro 5 doesn’t work, I’ll resolve myself to completing this goal

That it does...

but a conversation of venting with a friend, pizza, and resolution went a long way to cheering me up!

Thank you for the cheer too! That went a long way to making me smile…

What a day.

Cheers to you for being able to go into the shop in the first place—I’m horrible at returning things. Which is good in the sense that it keeps me from buying things sometimes!

Thanks graham...

typically I don’t like returning things either. But they were pricey items.

Best Buy rocked. I brought them back in the boxes, packed the best way I could, which is not the way they came, with their receipts. Best Buy service guy said, “Go do your shopping then come back.”

Holy buckets was that easy. 10 minutes in the store, including shopping. Amazing, isn’t it.
