01.Dec.09 in There is no five
- The manager of Tires Plus called me. I missed his call.
- Why? Because AT&T has a habit of not actually putting through my calls. Ziggy won’t even ring. No missed call notices. Nada. Oh, until like 3 hours after the call was missed. Then, and only then, will I discover two voicemails (sorry FFJ).
- Also, Dawson Leery is a whiny little tyrant of a douchbag.
- Someday, I am going to invite Christa over for a slumberparty where we will eat soup and drink wine and swoon over the Prom episode together (it is on right now as I type this nonsense list).
- I’m debating calling back the manager of Tires Plus. What will it solve?
- I’d like to buy the Tibbles new shoes for Christmas or their birthdays. However, I have no idea how much shoes for kids should cost. Is $30 ridiculous? I can’t remember the last time I bought a pair of shoes for myself that were less than $70.
- Last night while I was reading Juliet, Naked by Nick Hornby (a book I’ve been mostly enjoying) I stumbled across the sentence “It was what it was” and about two pages later an incorrect use of “begs the question.” It has saddened me. Are there no editors anymore?
- And another thing, I discovered I could play Bejeweled Blitz on Ziggy and I will now be wasting my life in 60 second increments until my arms fall off.

I would totally go to that party. That is one of my top Pacey episodes. I can’t even think of one I like more.

If you do return the call to Tires Plus, make sure you know in advance the following three things: what they did wrong, how it affected you, and what they can do to compensate you. Otherwise, there’s no reason to return the call.
I doubt they will do the tuneup for free, but they might give you the next oil change gratis.

I decided not to go out of my way to call them back. Especially since part of our problem was that they never called me. I’d rather give my money to a company that will treat me right. After talking to a friend I’ve decided to go to a local mechanic who runs his own shop.

One would think reliable phone service would be a solved problem in 2009. One would be wrong.
