My Theme Song

For also long as I can remember, I've been told that I have an old soul & have been here before. My uncle pegged Teena's Deja'Vu my theme song when I was younger.

What's your theme song?

SEARS SUCKS!

Lawd today.......

To give you a lil background, my 6 year old refrigerator died on Monday. I called Sears and of course the next available appointment was for Wednesday. I accepted...what else could do?!

I cleaned the fridge salvaged what I could and went about business as usual. The service man comes & right away he knew what the problem was....Kenmore manufacture defect. I don't speak repair but it goes something like, "The coil wasn't insulated, yada yada and exposure caused a whole, yada yada and all the freon has leaked out, yada yada.

Ok....the serviceman has to fucking order the parts I need (is there no Kenmore store in town?) and UPS will deliver. He tells me I should have the parts by Friday (did I say my shit conked out on Monday? Ok I did!) and he'd see me Saturday morning between 8-12. OK

The parts came yesterday, or so I thought. I called to tell them I had to parts and a tech pronto would be appreciated. Apparently I was missing a box - the compressor. Again I wait.....

Did I mention in an effort to salvage my groceries I started cooking up stuff only realize my damn oven had died as well?! Ok..... (That was not a Sears deal and has been repaired.)

I haven't worked a full day this week due to this mayhem. I come home early to meet the range repair guy & UPS shows up with my missing box.

I call Sears AGAIN to tell them I have all the pieces and I need service ASAP. They tell me I'm on the schedule for Tuesday! Back the hell up! Dude told me he's see me Saturday. Where is this Tuesday shit coming from?!?! They tell me he scheduled me for Tuesday. HELL TO THE NO!!! 7 days without a refrigerator IS UNACCEPTABLE!! They proceed to tell me the service guys don't even work on Saturday so they're unsure why he even said that. Whatthefuckever! If I accept that, why not Monday?! The chic tells me it's a 2 man 2.5 hour job and apparently the techs aren't working on Monday?! WTF?! Monday ain't no fucking holiday! I {tried to} politely tell this chic I needed a serviceman at my home by 12:00 pm on Monday or else. She said she'd try. Hmph!

I'm in the processing of writing a scathing letter to a whole lotta folks over at Sears because this is ridamndiculous!

I swear I miss apartment living! My grandparents had the same applicances all my damn life and didn't have this much damn trouble. The manufacturers, retailers and repair people are in CAHOOTS!

It's damn near 90 degrees and I have no fridge. I'm really frustrated right now & this might not make sense, so I come back for edits later.

BARTENDER!!!

Fried Fish and SPAGHETTI!

It's Friday and in St. Louis that means fried fish & spaghetti everywhere! You heard me right - fish and spaghetti!  My son's fav meal.

I hear this is a St. Louis thing.  You naysayers can keep ya grits (those are for breakfast and are best paired with bacon & sausage) and the mac & cheese....it doesn't go with fish.  *yuck*  I tried the mac & cheese combo when I was in Cali with my people and all I can say in never again.  Gimme my damn spaghetti with my fried fish, preferably with garlic bread, a salad (missing from my plate this time) & a pickle on the side.  Most folks also add onions to this plate, but I hate onions.

What say you?
