Demanding Good Service

Yesterday I went shopping for a second lawnmower. I chose the least expensive one that was on sale. It was a mid-range model by cost. The bag in the back that holds clippings was easy to remove and attach. I decided to buy it.

My truck was ready to transport the lawn mower. I waited 10 minutes before I saw anyone in the pick up department. I chatted with some other guys waiting for pick up. When I finally got my lawn mower, I asked for a $5 off coupon you get if they take more than 5 minutes.

The joker working pick up could only find an expired coupon. No way. He could not find me a manager in his department. So I got sent upstairs to see the big boss.In the end, a manager took 5 bucks off my purchase price. Let's hope the product itself is good quality.

Fighting the Bushes

We have 4 or 5 bushes out in front of the house. It has been years since I trimmed them. They are now more like one big bush. So I went to work on them today. First I spread out newspaper to catch all the clippings. Then I got some big shears and cut away. It was very hot today, so this took a lot out of me.

Speaking of the heat, our house is messed up. The basement is totally freezing. And the upstairs is hotter than you know what. At first I thought an HVAC guy could help. Now I am leaning toward installing window A/C units on all the bedrooms upstairs. We got to do something about this crazy heat. I am spending a lot of $$$ on the electric bill. All that is doing is keeping the basement frozen.
