Catching Up
Finally, she posts!
Tuesday night - yes, the night after my dental nightmare - I went to the Melissa Etheridge concert with my friend, JJ. We've only missed one of her shows since I've been back in Phoenix, and we are never disappointed. That girl can ROCK! 
I was a bit worried that she would get too political, especially knowing how different my opinions are from hers, but she barely touched on it. Took a short break to tell everyone to register and vote, that's it. Got no problem with that, I've been doing the same thing. 
Thursday I took off work so I could wait for the Maytag repairman and do some work for my freelance clients. You may recall he was coming a week earlier to fix my dishwasher. His fix at that time was to unplug it, tell the roommate to wait a couple of hours and turn it back on "I'm sure that'll fix it" K, they could have told me to try that over the phone then we'd have known that it didn't work before he came out. So we scheduled him again, this time he was going to replace the boards. Only he calls me an hour into his 4 hour window and says "those boards are on backorder, I won't be coming" When I ask how long he says he has no idea and that someone will call me to reschedule - uh-huh. I've had the stupid thing a month and gotten one good wash out of it.
The Maytag repairman isn't lonely because he has nothing to fix, he is lonely because he doesn't fix anything. Lowe's seem very willing to help, in fact they were going to just replace it, but Maytag keeps insisting on making repairs...which would be fine if they would actually repair it.
The rest of the time I was at work - or with S.G.
Oh, BTW
