Poor customer service? Don't get mad; get video.
I told her no. I was so put off by her aggressive actions, I didn't offer her the hoagies I had in the car from my shops.

Nothing dramatic like that ever happens in my world. People just sit, or stand, and wait...

Or asked her for money to get a muffler.

Work. Errands & Tasks. Possibly, try new-to-me place for lunch.

And, no, this will not involve cornering someone and demanding money for food. I will buy it myself. grinning smiley

No work except studying for a Coyle lunch tomorrow, actually driving into the Valley for this is my first Coyle job in many years. Will pop into Nordstrom's rack (newly open) for a look only and decide about dinner, do some planting, bought pretty flowers yesterday and weather cool, summer's over thank G__.

Mum, she explained it all in the Mystery Shopping Companies section in a post "Should I Reschedule or Cancel."

She lives in a rural area and her car broke down beyond repair. She's losing out on her MS income.

I added a couple of cents of information to that thread. Don't know if it will help or not. Perhaps it will just lead from one thing to another to another.

Today, I tried my second new pair of comfy shoes. They are comfortable enough, but they are not as enveloping as the more expensive shoes. It's okay.

Today I am having lunch with a friend.

Yikes! I hope all her car troubles cease.
Pizza and wine party tonight!!! One of my stepdaughters flew in today, she and one of her sisters are coming and my inlaws are coming over, too.
It was really good pizza, and the wine was delicious ,too. Everyone just left about half an hour ago. We had real wine glasses but ate off paper plates, so cleanup was easy. I think we drank 5 bottles of wine between 7 people...
Lunch today was awesome! I didn't realize how much I missed my friend.

I have a full day tomorrow. I have an insomnia shop in the morning. Car dude for brakes, fish fry, pick up car, home, homework.

Early job is late again. This is just the excuse I need to postpone cleaning the car until tomorrow. Today, I am gathering stuff to sell/donate/toss, adding stuff to the bed which keeps getting bedder and bedder and bedder, and (hopefully) enjoying a wee nap.

When one buys a used car it does not always come with both original keys. I had to order an OME key blank in the "holder" that can be programmed to open and lock the doors. I was able to find one through Amazon for only $40. Today I will go to the dealer that sold the car because their locksmith is there on Fridays. They will have him make the new key and activate it. That will be a savings of nearly $200 for me. Certainly worth an hour of my time. I have traveled so much this week that I have three reports remaining from shops where the deadlines were extended. So, this morning is for completing thews before I head to the locksmith.

Today I used my daughters B-day gift of a massage and man it was the best.....I feel renewed and needed it.
Rest of the day I'll be reading a book given to me by my daughter and am wishing her a safe and good trip to Manhattan where her boyfriend has a meeting with Google and their paying for a $400.00 room, so he invited
my daughter and she will visit the 911 Museum and structure with a friend of hers from college living there, then she and her boyfriend will explore parts of New York which they both love.
Life is good.

Today I completely lost my mind and went for a bike ride and forgot that it is not only Irish Weekend, but it's also classic car show weekend. Between the drunk filled trolleys and zooming cars, it was not the relaxing ride I hoped it would be. This entire island is only 5 miles long, I don't know how many people they can fit here at a time lol.

What doesn't Amazon sell? I would never have thought to go to them for car keys! That was a smart move on your part, wales.

Today was brakes, volunteering at the church fish fry and a wine run.

@HonnyBrown: Did I miss something? Did you start a new job this week? Does that happen next week?

Meeting with our house buying realtor to look at a couple of possibilities. One of the condos REEKED of smoke! It was too small for our needs, but I can't imagine anyone would buy it in the condition it's in.

The job had the potential to start on 9/16 if my paperwork was completed on time. It was completed on 9/12, and I got my offer letter on 9/13 to start 9/23!
