Today (November 20) has been one of those really trying days. Don't get me wrong, I had a lot of fun and enjoyed the day as well; but it was very trying and tiring all the same.
The day started off at 0715. I'd had two hours of sleep and would have quite easily gone back to bed, but alas; I had the self control to get up and head to church with Antelope for our last mass together before she moves back home. It began to hit home that today would be the day that I would finally have my own car!!! (WOOOHOOO!!!) It also meant though that today would be a day for a hard goodbye; a hard goodbye to easily the most fantastic Antelope anyone could wish to have.
Off we went to church at 0745 in the morning. Today was the first anniversary since the day I (finally) got fully initiated into the Catholic church. It was also a day where we got to watch six Alter servers become inducted as such and a day where the church also said farewell to Antelope. Other than those few differences, the service and the morning tea afterward were pretty much the norm. I started work at noon. Before and between my work shifts, though, I helped Antelope with the last of her packing, as well as vacuuming out Lav-Lav. To describe how it felt? Anticipation for a goodbye, but having fun rather than tearing up.
Work was pretty much the norm until one particular furniture store (which will remain unnamed for the sake of their reputation; even though I will be recommending people to not go there in the future in any case.) From the moment these people enquired into the price of a few pizzas until the moment I stormed out of their shop, the staff of the furniture store were extremely, unnecessarily rude and difficult. When quoted the price of the pizzas, they complained and asked for a discount. When given the normal discount, they continued complaining about the price even though a delivery surcharge hadn't been included in their order (a normally mandatory surcharge) and they had been given heavily discounted prices on their pizzas. When they were called back because the details provided for payment were incorrect; not one but two of the employees from said furniture shop were unbelievably rude and were annoyed when asked to confirm the details; of which they had provided not one but TWO wrong details. Just when we thought that the situation couldn't have gotten any worse, when the pizzas were delivered to them, they left me standing there for at least five minutes and only came to get their pizzas (though I was in full view of the both of them) after I dropped my keys on the counter. They proceeded to be rude when I greeted them with a positive attitude and a smile. After the person behind the counter was asked to sign for the delivery, he grunted, signed what he needed to and snatched the pizzas. All in all, this delivery was easily one of the top ten worst deliveries that I've experienced. I forgot about it though (well, mostly anyhow) when I returned to work where there were delicious choc-chip cookies made by Frog.
Maccas orders gone totally wrong then totally right.
