I had a meltdown in a radioshack, yesterday. The salesdude was trying to sell me increasingly complex recording equipment, couldn't make the stuff that was recommended to me by two journalists work, and insisted that my phone was broken. Then he tried to sell me a new phone.
I insisted that he just ring up the shit I came in for, brought it home, and Kristen opened up the instructions and figured it out in about three minutes while I was fixing my lunch.
I kind of want to go back to the radio shack and make him feel like an ass. He tried to make me feel like an ass, so I feel justified in revenge.
Allyson,
what you may want to do is write a letter to Radio Shack management (at the store, or corporate) and detail your experience and how the sales associate could have served you better.
Happy birthday erikaj!
I just bought Hogwarts robes for my kids--Gryffindor for her, Slytherin for him. I think that pretty much sums it up. Also? Franny got up this morning and put on black lipstick before we set out to buy bagels. Her wee gothiness cracks me up because, like a certain perky goth we know, Franny's goth tendencies tend to come with a lot of bright colors and glitter.
edited: nothing to see here.
So! I made the pb-choco bars AND did the dishes, and am now doing laundry! I realize this is a barely-normal level of activity, but still. I never do the dishes right away.
The other day when I emptied the dishwasher right after it ran, I thought there should be trumpets.
We're going to see Contagion this evening, and TJ's is right UNDER the theatre we're going to.
I think I'll be breaking my CC almond pledge...
And Happy Birthday, erika!!!!

Gold star!
All I've done so far today is a manicure, but it did require putting on fake nails for the first time. I did pretty well! I'm hoping to only have to do it a couple more times, thinking that my nails will then have grown out enough that all of the soft, sand blasted part from the acrylics will have grown out. The fakes look pretty awesome, actually. Short and uniform. And the manicure should last much better now.
I didn't used to be vain about my nails, but now I am. Progress?
And on a separate note...
Happy Birthday, Erika!!
