Customer Service

My first blog..... What a moment! So bear with me..........

What ever happened to the good old days? When a simple handshake from a man was as good as a signed, notarized, contract. I don't think I remember these times, but I have been brought up to rely on a little thing called customer service. I can't tell you how many times in the last month, I have dealt with people that put the incompotent in customer service. As you know (the zero readers that I have) Matt is out to sea, so I am left to work, grieve Matt's absence, and handle anything that needs handling. A few weeks before he left, we bought an LG Steam Washer and Dryer. Knowing that this was a special order, I expected it to take a week or so to get here. 18 days later and 3 different people lying to me, and 4 different delivery dates, I still don't have it. Today I was even hung up on when I asked to speak to the lady's supervisor. I am seriously about to have a stroke waiting for these things to get here. Thank you Sears for offering me a $50 gift card, it won't come close to paying for the years you have taken off of my life for the unnatural surge in blood pressure.

On a lighter note, I only crashed one patient into the wall today while driving their bed. I also narrowly escaped being squashed by a 417lb man. I guess when I look at what could have happened today, going without clean clothes for another week might not be so bad.

I don't know why going without clean clothes should bother you, can't you just find something on the floor?? Draped over a chair??? Piled on the other bed??? Come on, you don't really need a washer and dryer, do you???
ps, I love you!
