wasting a vacation day....
Three weeks ago now, I wrote a little article about how my fridge broke. (See it in all its glory here!) This past Friday I called the repair people and asked them when I could expect the part we need to arrive.
Well, apparently it had already arrived and they were just too stupid to dial either of the phone numbers I gave them on three separate occasions to set up the appointment to get the part installed. But okay, I'm a calm and reasonable fellow, and the guy on the other end was very nice and helpful, and he set up an appointment for this morning between 8:00 and noon. No problem.
Of course you can guess what happens next. That's right, nothing at all. No call, no repair person, no compressor replacement on my doorstep, no "sorry we missed you", not a damn thing.
So I called the repair place again at noon. Got a "sorry we're so busy, leave us a message and we'll call you back within an hour" message again. Having heard this one before, I was not terribly sanguine about actually getting a call back, but I left a message anyway.
Guess what happens next. That's right, still absolutely nothing at all. Left them another message later, same thing.
So I sat on my ass all day today, wasting a perfectly good vacation day waiting for The Phantom Repairman.
Argh.
