Closetmaid- Retort
Dear Closetmaid,
I would like to take this time to say thank you. After 5 phone calls, 4 expedite orders, one wrong shipment, and 5 months of waiting, I have finally received the correct pieces to complete our closet. I had no idea that my Blog had such a HUGE following and that they would all unite and protest. How was I to know that they would all boycott your product and that you would see such a sudden drop in sales that your CEO would start asking 'What happened?'. Who knew that I impacted so many people with my little blog??
I can only guess that when the CEO wanted answers, you narrowed it down to your expedite process. I am only guessing here, but I bet you found a mailbox in the Warehouse full of orders with a big red 'X' all over them. Your 'phone takers' would stamp a big red X on the sheet meaning - Expedite. But your warehouse people thought that the X meant it had already been sent.
No matter how you figured it out, I am thankful and my clothes are thankful. I am not bitter about the time i spent on hold during my 5 phone calls, or trying to explain over and over again that I wanted 'Cherry' not White. I am also not bitter that it took me 5 months to finish a project that should have taken a weekend and we had to drag all the tools into our closet TWICE, clean up all the sawdust TWICE, and store all the hardware and make sure we did not misplace screw B14 so it would be ready to secure Board A3 once we received A3....no I am not bitter.
So...thank you

Wet or Dry?
I have been here in GA for 8 months and had my hair cut twice. Now the first time this happend I thought it was a bit odd....but a second time....maybe it's a southern thing???
I made an apointment, walked in on the day of the appointment and was asked, do you want a wash and cut, or just cut? That's odd, I think.....I'd like it washed of course. I proceed to the wash station and she washes my hair, but it felt like it was the first time she had ever washed a persons hair...it was very akward. I then got my hair cut and that was that. My hair was shorter than when I came in, so mission accomplished, I'd just try somewhere else next time.
This leads me to two weeks ago. I made another appointment at a different salon for a trim. (It had been 6 months, so I figured I was due). I show up after work one day (mind you, when I am at work, I wear my hair in a ponytail most of the time becuase it's hot on the plant floor and I am moving all over the place and don't really have time to worry about how my hair looks.) So...I show up, sit down in her chair, pull my hair out of the ponytail to have the 'consultation talk' about what I want done. I am assuming that next we'll walk over to the shampoo station that I can see in the other room. My hair obviosuly needs it because I have the ponytail line wraped around my entire head. No....she grabs her sissors and comb and starts cutting....DRY.....with the pony tail line and everything.
I guess I am being Green. No water or chemicals to wash the hair, and no energy from the hairdryer to dry it. Im not sure if I am ready to go that green yet.
So....I have asked around for a very specific type of hair salon, one that washes your hair, and will try them out in about 6 months when its time for another trim.

Things I don't understand
1. Valet keys
2.Plastic Packaging Clam Shells
You know what I am talking about...you buy a curling iron or a new wii remote charger. It comes in this neat plastic case that hangs on the display case in the store. It's a neat little package that keeps all your new treasures nice and secure inside with pretty packaging that points out all the neat features. But when you get it home and all you want to do is open it up...that's when you start cursing at the guy who invented them. Sure they look neat in the store, but are you kidding me? They are impossible to open.
You can not 'safely' use a knife to try and open it. You'll start with that, trying to pry open the ends of it and just get a little bit open thinking you can pull it the rest of the way. I think,this clam shell case is no match for my miracle blade knifes...but I already cut my thumb on a cupcake wrapper this week, so I decided I don't want to risk the rest of my finger with the knife.
I decide that the scissors would be safer. But the edge of these things are bent with 2 90 degree angles that are just big enough to make it almost impossible to cut along the edge. You try to cut a small 'snip' in the package and then figure you can pull and/or tear it open....think again....Now you have to try to cut across the package without the now jagged edge scraping against your hands as you try to cut farther. You have given up trying to salvage the pretty picture or instructions that are written on the inside of the package and have now resorted to a fast paced
snip
pull
pull harder
snip more
cut off the part that is scraping you
pull more you can almost pull the charger out the hole...keep pulling
cut more because you can't get the base part out..
give up on the fact that you are going to have to cut the entire thing out, thus dulling your scissors and demolishing any of the paperwork inside
Finally, you put the scissors down and you have the wii remote charger in hand...Who's idea was it to put this in plastic again??? And why can't they be like the strawberry holders or lunch meat? Those are much easier to open....
Now don't get me started on that sticker that runs across the CD holders.....

Odd Boo Boo's
I was injured today at breakfast in an odd way. I was unwrapping a cupcake...
Let me pause here...I can hear you all saying 'A cupcake? For Breakfast?' but you need to know that I also had a bowl of rasin bran...the cupcake was my dessert. Why should dinner be the only meal with something to look forward to at the end? Anyway, that's not why I am writing this, so back to the cupcake.
....I was unwrapping the cupcake and got a papercut! A papercut from a cupcake wrapper. It was one of the foil ones, and it cut me on the inside of my thumb.
That's an odd injury.
