Thank you to everyone for your well-wishes for me and my car. So, yesterday I get an e-mail from the insurance guy handling my claim that they did receive the Title I FedEx'd and it will now take 13 days to process. Thirteen days??!! On the phone, he told me three days. So, I e-mail him back to confirm and he e-mails back, "Sorry, I meant to type 1-3 days". What a difference a hyphen makes. Whew! I'm car-shopping tomorrow.

Whew ;D

When I was at the library yesterday I met the reference librarian who receives the reservations/suggestions we email for books we want.  I had never met her before, but there was a problem with something involving the online suggestions.

I have never even seen this lady before.  So she says, "what is your name?"  I say "Jennifer" and immediately she says my last name. :)

I request a ton of books.  But the crazy thing is that I only get half my books from the library (since i get a lot of ebooks and review ebooks).  I should have told her that. :)

You should have told her :)

Something sort of odd happened to me yesterday.  So I'm at a store and only one cash was open.  I had one item and the woman ahead of me (who was probably around 75) had a lot of stuff.  She kindly said "oh you have one item go ahead of me".  So i smiled and softly said thank you.  Then she turns around with a mean face and screams (something like) "Oh my gosh how rude - couldn't you at least say thank you."  She was sort of mean about it.

It was really weird because even if i hadn't said thank you why would she scream like a lunatic?

So I just pretended that she hadn't just screamed at me and I said, "I did say thank you, but I said it sort of quietly. Sorry you didn't hear me."

Then she did a 180 and sweetly talked to me for a few minutes saying how some people are so rude (but now not me).

She was the Jekyll and Hyde shopper with two personalities.

Lesson learned, speak up-lol

My niece was cranky when i saw her yesterday. So today when I picked up her up from school the first thing she told me was "my mom said if i'm nice to you today then i get 3 pieces of Halloween candy".  :)

LOL  Had you told on her to your sister?

Total screwup with my hotel reservation - we called the hotel to request a queen or king instead of two double beds and were told the reservation had been cancelled on the third.  Now, this was booked through Priceline and you CAN'T cancel.  The money had been deducted from my paypal account immediately on October 23.  So, I called Priceline and it turns out they had a "system error" that canceled a whole slew of reservations.  The first person I talked to was useless and she finally put me on with someone she said would "relocate" me.  I told him in no uncertain terms I wanted the same room in the same hotel, only with a king size bed.  He put me on hold and was able to get that for me, gave me a new confirmation number but said it would take an hour for it to show up in the hotel reservation system.  I asked him to e me in an hour after he called them back to make sure that happened.  I'm awaiting that e-mail.

That would have been extremely upsetting to arrive and not have a room.  I never heard of a "system error" like that.

Well when my sister came home she had fallen asleep.  But when she woke up she was crying because my sister had left had to drive my other niece to swim team practice. So i called to tell her that she was bawling like a baby.

Hmmm.   I booked through priceline too---maybe I'd better make sure my reservation hasn't been cancelled!

This is a very sad story, that may end up with a happier ending.

The story broke on the 5 o'clock KOMO TV News today, and by 7:00 p.m. they had already exceeded the $6,000.00 GoFundMe request by over $1,000.

And now, it's time to leave work, go home, do some laundry, and watch some TV.

Be back later.

The work tday got my allergies into an uproar, so I took a hot bath, used the neti pot on my sinuses and i am off to bed.

BK, I hope everything resolves perfectly with the hotel mess.  It was so good of Priceline to inform the customers there might be a glitch.
