Rant. What this space is for. And why Pottery Barn STINKS.

I am buying a mirror. 18x42, Antique Beaded Copper Mirror. It's perfect for the apt. AND we have a gift certificate from Marc and Amy (THANKS!). I called last week, the 59th and Lex store, to see if they had this particular mirror. YES, they said, we do! Great. I put it on hold. Work got crazy and I never got there. So, I called back and kept it on hold. Then, I called, Monday, and talked to someone new at this PB. 18x42, Antique Beaded Copper Mirror? YES, we have that at this store! GREAT! Can I put it on hold? Ah, yes, life got busy again this week, 3 days in a row. Each time, I called to make sure they had that particular mirror, and yes they did.

FINALLY, today I walk all the way up to this PB, (it's about 4 degrees. HELLO, winter.). I'm so excited to pick up my mirror. They hand me a mirror, that is the wrong one. Hmmm...this mirror isn't 18x42. Because this mirror is SQUARE. 18X42 is a rectangle. "Sorry, this is the only one we have in the store." I explain, that I have called this store at least 4 times, to see if they carried the 18X42 LONG RECTANGLE mirror. I was told YES! Many times. All they could say was sorry, and that the mirror I wanted is only available by catalog. "ISN;T this something you could have told me many ONE of the FOUR times I asked about this mirror?" So, all that for nothing. Now, I have to order it by catalog and pay $21 in shipping! UGH....

There's more. (Can I go home now, and go to bed, and start this day over?)

AT work, it's donate Blood Day...cool. If we donate, we get a free vacation day! PRETTY awesome.
I'll donate, it's a great cause for them and me. I fill out the lengthy application only to be turned away.
Am I drug addict? Not lately. Have I had sex with a prostitute...um, no. I was turned away because the resort I vacation to in November, Zihuatenejo was one of the resorts on watch for MALARIA. Wow, that's great...I had no idea. So, not allowed to give blood, and NO vacation day.

Poop.

Tomorrow is another day. Yes, Scarlett, and it better be better than this one.

Reading, Hell's Angels by Hunter S. Thompson. Just started it. He's a genius. Thanks goes to whoever brought it to Miguel's last book exchange (St. Jordi day). Hart, did you bring it? It seems like something cool that you'd bring...

BTW: I'll spare people about work details of late. It's too depressing to get into. All that is said is this:
Same assignment since October, changed 10 times. Starting over again today.

But, I have a job, so no rants about the jobbie job.
