Current Complaints

[johnnYYac]

Glad everyone is okay, Jeff.  Give my best to Beth (and Quince). 

Meg, you're never alone here!

Everyone have a great weekend.  Find something to do that takes you away from "current complaints"... something you can post in "current joys"...

My car broke down this morning on the way to work. I had it towed to the first good mechanic I could think of and went on to work. This afternoon when I called to find out info, they told me that they were a week behind on their cars. Ugh. I don't even have any idea how much it would cost to fix. I guess I could get it towed somewhere else, but that would cost even more. So irritating. >:(

^ Heard's garage in Nashville (Thompson Lane area) is family owned by some trusted folks I know. They hook EVERYONE up with the best price no matter what. The kicker is you have to wait a week due to the amount of clientele that trust them. compare their quote if you can wait.

Thanks, but I've got the car in Columbia where I work. I guess I'll just wait a week. I'm going to be driving my 91 yo neighbor's old Caddy to for the next week if I don't wreck it first. The thing is a boat.

Look at the bright side Fully- sometimes it can be invigorating when circumstances force us to step outside of the routine of our everyday lives and be something else.  In your case, you can choose a "gangsta" or a "geezer".  The old man/lady smell, big boat feel, and higher gas bill (not to mention the badass sound system- ha) will certainly be...ummm... memorable.  ???

I know...not much of a bright side, but that's all I got.   

On another note, here's hoping the repair to your car costs only a fraction of what you fear it will be.  :)

It's going to be almost a thousand to fix it. Not too happy about that. >:( But today he decided to let me borrow his farm truck instead of the Caddy. I had to take the gun out for him because he "might need to kill a groundhog" plus I do work at a school and it's illegal to carry a gun on school property. There is a sweet picture of he and his deceased wife when they were young taped to the rear view mirror. Also, because he is in the American Legion, he has small American flags stuck in all of his a/c vents. I tried to drive very carefully because if I had a wreck I would have been impaled on one of those things. Beggars can't be choosers. At least I'm not having to rent a car for the week.

I get slightly more annoyed everyday by the big ass banner at the top of the forum.

Folks that have been here for a few years; is there always something there?

You mean the one that says "My Morning Jacket / Circuital?"

Yeah, that's always something there.  You click to get to the main page.  Pretty standard for websites.

Springtime in AZ but stuck in an office all day with windows that don't open.  It is only a matter of time before one of the many tourists that visit this time of year is gonna walk up and start tapping on my window, trying to make me swim behind some coral or something.

Levon aint' doing too well, folks.  :(

Flew out to see my Pops in Montana today. He had to have emergency surgery last wednesday because of a perforated colon (he apparently had diverticulitis and didnt know it...and he's a doctor). They removed part of his colon and he has a temporary colostomy. This isnt life threatening and he will recover, hopefully soon so he can be discharged from the hospital and I can help him out for the 2 weeks while Im here so its easier for him when I have to leave, but his progress has been pretty slow so far. He looked worse today than I expected, but was in good spirits. Were now almost a week post surgery, and he's still on oxygen, had too much pain in his feet/ankles (gout it looks like) to even get out of bed while I was there today, and is just on a liquid diet with minimal appetite. Considering he will need to go back into surgery to reconnect his intestines in a few months, his progress after this surgery makes me think that wont be a quick recovery. He's only 55.

[johnnYYac]

Sorry about your dad, Scotty.  Here's to an improved recovery.  You're a good son.

[Fully]

That's pretty rough surgery, Scotty. My dad had lots of his intestines removed due to cancer and it is not a quick recovery.  Hang in there; it's lucky you are able to be there for two weeks. I'm sure you'll be a big help to him.

[lucylew]

I was going to complain about my air conditioner deciding to blow today on the hottest day of the year - but after reading about Capt. Scotty's dad I have decided I'm just a whiney bitch.  Healing thoughts to you and yours Scotty!

[Hawkeye]

Hoping for a speedy recovery, Scotty.

Just want to say the GMAT sucks.  It's just not any fun at all.

why do people who have weddings think people actually want to go to them?

most cases the people have been together for years, are living with each other, sometimes they have kids.  so who gives a fuck, you love each other, congrats.  good work.  bravo, here's a hundred bucks.   

fuck this shit.  there is nothing special about a wedding, it is the single most self-centered, or mutually self-centered act our society practices.  and then there's the clusterfuck of lame ass old people and friends you fucking hate.  not even an open bar can make the scenario pleasant.  i don't care who you are, and what the scenario.  weddings fucking blow.  stop inviting me to them.

[TEO]

TEO say K Sticky no invite wedding... :-*

Petty complaint coming, but many of you will appreciate this...

Our washing machine of 10 years broke about 4 weeks ago.  Called Sears at Home repair service.  The best they could do was come 4 days later.  I took a half day off from work to be here for the guy.  He called to say he was on his way and asked what happened.  I described the problem and he said, "Well, I can come and have to charge you $75 to tell you it'll likely cost $600 to fix, or we can cancel this repair order, save you the $75, and you can start looking for a new one."  Fair enough, 10 years is a pretty good run, appreciate the honesty, don't bother coming.  Time to do some research (after all, I've taken a half day off from work, right?).

Settle on a nice front loader, well reviewed and tested, and ON SALE.  None in the local stores, but can have it delivered, plus haul the old one away!  Sounds good.  So, I order online AND save an additional 10% using the good ole Sears Master Card!  Yay, me!  Order placed April 10, delivery scheduled for April 20.  No big deal, we can handle the laundromat for 2 weeks...  (recall, we have 3 young kids, girls who like to change outfits at least twice daily)

Robo call from Sears the afternoon of April 19.. "Your delivery of..... has been delayed.  Please call..."  So now, delivery is gonna be April 27 (the good news is, April 27th is tomorrow and this week is my spring break, so I'm already home).

I got a call about 2 hours ago, an automated call, from Sears.  "Your delivery of..... has been delayed.  Please call..."  Motherfucker!  Those of you who know me would, I think, agree that I come across as a pleasant soul, but I lost it on 4 different poor bastards working customer service at Sears.  Selling me an item they don't possess!  Cocksuckers!  "We're experiencing a manufacturing delay."  What?!?  You sold us a $1000 item that hasn't been built yet?  AAahflsfhsfhsdfhsdfsfsaff fuckityfuckfuckfuck!!!!

So, now, remaining options will require cancelling the order, renting a truck, and buying what ever the hell some local store has in stock; waiting for the next available delivery from a local store, which is fucking May 4!!!  or going postal.  In the meantime, our current order remains in place and, for our troubles, we're receiveing $75... wait for it... patience... in the form of... you know it... a Sears gift card!!!! 

Do they still sell guns? _{(just kidding)}

I think this would be a good time to go put on some of your new record store day purchases and let them put you in a nice mellow frame of mind. Sorry about the delay. Last year, our dryer went out and I had to use the laundromat for awhile. The good part about it is that all of your clothes can wash at once. The bad part is that you had to hang out at the laundromat. I don't know about where you live, but in rural TN a visit to the "washerteria" is a also known as spending a couple of hours with meth addicts. I'll find religion and pray for you.

I told you it was petty.  Reminds me of Seinfeld's bit on car rental...
