Automated Messages

Automated Messages drive me F'ing insane!!!!!!!

So this morning I had to call the post office to find out if they offered a service, which FYI they don't anymore! Anyhow, so I call the 1800 number because I couldn't find the local branches direct number. So I'm on the phone for 10 minutes with an automated service asking me the same thing repeatedly. I don't know how many different ways to say "Customer Service" without getting pissed off. So finally I get angry and yell "Representative", the machine responds with "Did you say Customer Service?" ummm... No I f'ing didn't, I said Representative!!! I say Customer Service and get nothing, I say Representative and get Customer Service. So annoying!!! I would really like to be able to pick up the phone and call somewhere and not have to talk to a robot. I would love it if a person picked up first thing and they took my information. Instead of having to type in the information on my phone. Why oh Why did they get rid of actually people working instead of robots? This country has a lack of jobs... here's an idea... STOP USING ROBOTS!!! Hire actual people. There are people out there that are willing to work! Oh and if you call the wrong department by mistake, transfer them to the correct one and don't be a bitch about it. UGH... its been a hell of a morning.

Then I call the bank, and I understand having to put in your account info, so it makes it a little faster. I was so glad that that's all they asked for, no other stupid crap. I got put right on through to a living breathing person. Found out they don't provide the service to non-members so it was a dead end, but it was a nice non-aggravating way to find out the information that I required.

Xmas

Merry Christmas Everyone

I hope that everybody had a fantastic day and got lots of presents. My day was pretty low key, which for me was perfect. I cooked a turkey among a few other things, and had a relatively laid back day. The turkey was amazing, as were the baked potatoes. All around it was a great day.

Lazy

I have been so lazy and lax with this blog... I've finally settled into our new place and gotten pretty much everything in order when it comes to the decorating. Everyone keeps making fun of my curtains, but I like them and at the end of the day that is pretty much all that matters in my opinion. Our new bed FINALLY arrived! It just took close to 2 months. I love it, it is so high off the ground compared to our older bed.

New Bed

My Energy Efficient Washer & Dryer

So I am in love with my comfy new bed. The mattress is amazing!!! I think I might like it more or at least as much as our washer and dryer, which I do love. They are spectacular, they use less water, and have an eco boast button, which I love.

Wreath

We Xmas is only a few days away, I love my door wreath. Clearly I'm loving a lot of things right now... Weird. Not much else happening here... Things have been pretty dull. I'm trying to find a job, which is turning out to be harder then first expected, but eventually I'll find something (I hope).

Hopefully the next time I write I have something far more interesting to put on here.

Settled In

Well a couple of weeks ago we were finally able to move out of the ridiculous hotel room and into our house. The house is unpredictably nice. Its rather large for just the 2 of us, but has plenty of room for the dog to go crazy and run around like a crazy person. It has a back veranda, which in the spring/summer will be really nice with a table out there. What I really like about the house is that it has its own dining room. In Hawaii our dining room/kitchen/living room were kindof all one, here they're all seperate. The kitchen is attached of course to the living room, but its larger then the one in Hawaii and its blocked off and shaped better.

On another note, the other day I took Sam out and as we were coming up the back stairs he ran and jumped, and went and got his foot caught. It was horrible... I thought for sure he'd broken something. He was yelping and crying and I couldn't get his foot out. He was finally able to pull his own foot free. I was so worried about him.

Wow... I have nothing else to talk about. I put the Xmas tree up and I'll post a picture once I take one.

Ugh...
