Before I get to the juicy story, I would like to welcome you to my blog's new layout. It's fancy and colorful and painterly and yay! H. chuckled when I told him I was redesigning my blog, but what does he know about the internet? Quite a lot, actually.
I got a call from Paulina on Wednesday - she left a message saying that the lady we'd been working with (Bea) is getting her hip replaced Friday, so if I have any questions about the overnight order, just call her. Oh, and that the ring would be in Friday morning after 10 AM. Skip ahead to today (Friday): H. and I walk into the store, tell her to stick 'em up and hand over the ring. She said that she called previously and said it would be in by 1 PM. I was all, "Whatchyou talkin' bout Willis?", but figured if the jewelry delivery man hadn't dropped it off yet there wasn't much use in arguing. She said she would call us when it came in, so we went to In 'n' Out Burger for lunch and headed back to the apartment.
1 PM: No phone calls.
3 PM: I call the store, Paulina says she'll call the delivery man and Bea and call me right back in ten minutes.
4.20 PM: I call the store, another associate answers and says Paulina will call me back in 20 minutes.
5 PM: I call the store, Paulina answers and says neither delivery man nor Bea will call her back.
During that last phone call, I had a slight change of heart and told Paulina that the delivery man will probably call her back by Saturday, and that I'd call back then as well. She sounded sincerely embarrassed and apologetic and nervous, so I believed her when she said neither person was returning her calls. I verified that Bea had actually put the order in, and Paulina said she had, so now it's the delivery man's fault the ring isn't here (kind of).
Paulina also asked, "When do you need the ring by?" To which I said, "We needed it six weeks ago." "Really? No, but you only exchanged it three weeks ago." "No, we ordered it six weeks ago and you said it would be in in two." "You ordered it in June?" "Yes, we ordered it in June." So. Incredibly. Frustrating.
H. has a plan for us. Saturday, we will go in and see if the ring is there. If it is, great. If it isn't, we give Paulina an ultimatum. If the ring isn't in by the end of the day on Saturday (the mall closes at 9), we are going to ask for our money back. H. will also remind her that we've caught her lying to us at least once (ordering a gold ring instead of a titanium ring), and that she probably was lying about checking every day for our newly exchanged tungsten ring as well. It is entirely her fault that we are in this situation in the first place, and if she can't understand that then she shouldn't be working at a jewelry store.
And now for something that has much less rant and much more food.
Dinner plans for the week are as follows:
Friday - Saturday: Spaghetti and Meat Sauce (think deconstructed meatballs in the tomato sauce)
Sunday - Tuesday: Chicken Enchiladas b^^d <-- two thumbs up
Wednesday - Thursday: Slow Cooker Chicken and Dumplings
Friday: Whatever tickles my fancy.
Y'all enjoy yer weekend, ya hur?
