disappointment monday

   Posted by: arcanai   in Nuthin' Special

monday turned out to be a day of disappointments for both hubby and me. 

  1. you’ll recall that on saturday, we got up at the crack of way-too-early to chase down surfboards.  the seller, who wasn’t even there for the meeting that he set, supposedly was unaware of some minor damage to each board but volunteered to fix them and bring them to us this week.  well after a couple calls to him monday, hubby finally got a hold of him.  he told hubby that he would make the repairs – but not the way they should be fixed – and they’d be ready in a couple weeks.  he also mentioned that if someone came along before then, he would go ahead and sell them.  hubby reminded him that that was not the arrangement that they had worked out saturday morning and  he turned around and informed hubby that he had a buyer that would pick them up friday as-is, cash in hand.  i was ticked off when hubby told me this.  he had been so daggum excited about getting those stupid surfboards and this jerk just decides to change the game.  unethical piece of junk!  hubby thought about it for a while and then sent him an email telling him how disappointed he was in the man’s behavior and that he was no longer interested in doing business with him.  my poor guy.  he really was so excited about those boards. 
  2. while all of this was going on, i was on my way to the dentist to get my teeny, tiny filling fixed.  i arrived, got in the chair, had the dentist prod around in my mouth a few minutes, and then he says, “i can fix that for you, but not today.”  what?!  i had this appointment for a week.  it was a big fiasco because his office staff is apparently incompetent and had trouble scheduling the appointment.  clearly, he read the displeasure on my face because he started apologizing and said he was in the middle of a surgery next door and they just walked in and told him that he needed to do an exam on me.  i was ticked… not at him because i know that he doesn’t know anything about his scheduling… but i was ticked nonetheless.  he asked how hard it was for me to take time off work to which i replied that it wasn’t just about taking time off work.  this is MY time.  it takes me thirty minutes to drive out there.  so, his office cost me one hour of MY time in driving, plus two hours of wages.  he kept apologizing and told me that maybe he could see me after he finished his surgery.  could i stick around for an hour or so?  i told his staff that i would run some errands in town and to call me when his surgery was done so that if i was still nearby, i could come back and get my filling.  so i went shopping.  a lot.  retail therapy, i guess, after being so disappointed about hubby’s boards and my filling that i’ve been waiting to have fixed since it fell out shortly before my cleaning back in june.  which was a disappointment all it’s own because we showed up that day just to find that the dentist wasn’t even there.  he had left earlier in the day for vacation and his office staff never bothered to let us know that so that we could decide whether or not we wanted to reschedule.  anyhow, after about an hour of shopping and still no call from them (they never did), i decided that i really wasn’t in the mood to go back there.  and i’m increasingly thinking that it’s time to find a new dentist.  as far as i’m concerned, that was three strikes.  the shame about that is that we both really like our hygienists there. 
  3. a new episode of weeds was on tonight but i didn’t get to watch it.  yep, showtime is still gone.  i’m pretty sure it’s gone for good and this makes me remarkably sad.  i am so disappointed that i won’t be able to watch dexter next month.  i know it’s stupid to get so down about tv.  i know this, but i genuinely enjoy tv.  i’m a junk!e.  i admit this and i won’t apologize for it.  and, dangit! i want my dexter!!!
