Today we were supposed to be getting our new couch, awesome spinny chair and pouffe, only for the delivery dude to turn up and announce that it wasn't going to fit in the doors. Of course this is after I'd hauled the old couch and two seater out with Corey. The guy didn't even try, just whipped out a tape measure and said no. To make matters worse he went back to the shop and told them he'd tried every way to get them in. Lying bastard that he is.

We did end up at the hospital yesterday, waited forever, got seen, they tried to take blood which is impossible unless they use baby fine needles and get a really talented doctor or nurse, failed to get that and sent James home and said to go back if it gets worse. He keeps saying it is, I keep saying to give the antibiotics more time to work because the next step will be getting admitted. Plus, with the hovering threat of redundancies he's still adamant about going to work this weekend. At least I persuaded him to drop the overtime he had booked and try to rest up a little. I'm not even touching the phone calls and arguments and general air of frustration that's been the theme of the day.

I guess one positive is we've saved some money.

It sounds like you've had a really crappy end of the week. That delivery guy totally sucks! And so does the hospital for not managing to get James' blood. They're a HOSPITAL, they should be better prepared. And it TOTALLY sucks that James has to worry about work when he's sick!! I'm keeping everything I can crossed that the antibiotics will work. *sends you lots of virtual hugs and good thoughts*

The delivery guy sucks big time. Just thinking about him now makes me annoyed.

The hospital was so frustrating, also icky between the guy who's head was dripping with puss and the woman who kept showing where her son had cut her hand with scissors.

Still, I got James to stay home this weekend and hopefully the rest will help. I told him there's no point going in if he ends up in hospital and needs to take even more time off.

I'm really sorry to hear about your new furniture - that delivery guy sounds a complete jerk!

here's hoping James listens and doesn't push himself too hard

[turps]

He was a jerk. I felt like hitting him over the head with his tape measure.

Thank you! I got him to stay home today, which is good.

dude....sucky delivery dude...man

*loads of hugs and positive thoughts*

[turps]

I know! He annoyed me so much.

Thank you. It's been a very frustrating few days.

[frausorge]

Oh schatz, I am sorry you have been faced with so much fail on so many different counts! (((TERRI))) I am sending all best thoughts for James's health and job and also for things to be less shitty for both of you all around VERY SOON. <33333

[turps]

Yesterday was a very annoying day. But it's in the past now, so all we can do is carry on.

Thank you ♥

[hermitsoul]

*hugs* What a frustrating week - hope the next one is better!

[turps]

It really has been.

I've my fingers crossed for the one coming up.

So, wait--what? Just because he looked at the door(s), he says there's no way... does that mean you don't get them at all? No one else will try? I think the store would not like that, because they'll lose a sale, won't they?

[turps33.livejournal.com]

He was the delivery driver from the store and when we went there they backed him up, and just said the doors were too narrow. But they're standard sized doors and we managed to get the old couch out, and that wasn't some miniature thing.

Mostly I was pissed off because he didn't even try. Just whipped out a tape measure and said no.

[sperrywink]

What a stupid moving guy.

And good luck with James's health. Hospitals are so ridiculous sometimes.

[turps33.livejournal.com]

He infuriated me. Sure the chair may have been too wide straight on, but you feed them around. Moron.

Thank you. I need the luck, both for the hospital and not to murder James.

Stupid couch guy.

I'm thinking good thoughts about James.

[turps33.livejournal.com]

The couch guy pissed me off so much. Incompetent and a liar.

Thank you.

[romanticalgirl.livejournal.com]

Many hugs of huggingness. And Ways. Ways make everything better.

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Ways always make things better. Yes. Thank you ♥

[babycakesin.livejournal.com]

Whaaaaat?! So he just took off with your couch and all? So what happens now?

As for James, I hope everything will work out *hugs*

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Yeah, he just took it back to the shop, where he told then he'd tried all ways to get it in. Now the sale has been cancelled, oh, and he told us he had a smaller couch in his van, like we'd really take something we'd never even seen. Moron.

Thank you.

What? They didn't even try? Grrr!

[turps33.livejournal.com]

No! I was so pissed off, and then to go back and lie about it was the icing on the cake.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_bettina_/]

Have you talked to the people at the store? That's just awful.

[turps33.livejournal.com]

We talked to them the same day and they sided with the driver. The whole thing sucks big time.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_bettina_/]

It does suck. Can you complain somewhere?

[castalie.livejournal.com]

So did the guy come back today? Seriously, those dudes suck. I do get that it's a job that might a bit annoying but if it's your job, you at least try to do it correctly!

Also, I'm really curious about this new living room of yours! What with the renovation and the new furniture and all.

How did James feel today? Between him and your sister, it's not really a good season for Terri's family *hugs*

[turps33.livejournal.com]

He didn't! The whole order has been cancelled because the shop sided with the delivery man. Our doors are the same size as any door. The way they're going on it's like we squeeze through tiny spaces.

I'm going to post pictures. I was waiting until I got the new furniture but the old stuff will have to do.

He's about the same. I keep telling him that sometimes you just have to wait but he's impatient.

[myorangecrush.livejournal.com]

Well, In a way be glad you haven't had to give such incompetent people your money!

Was it a big store, or a local one? What would have happened if you'd already sold your old one, or had it removed though.

Hope James gets better soon.

[turps33.livejournal.com]

You're telling me.

It was a small local shop, and just thinking about it still annoys me now. The driver said they had another couch in the back of the van, a smaller one and did we want that instead? Like we'd ever take a three piece sight unseen. He was an idiot.

Thank you!

DDDDDDD: That's infuriating. And rude. What an asshat.

Ick, I hope James gets better!

[turps33.livejournal.com]

He was horribly rude! Asshat is a good description.

[ihearthings-ii.livejournal.com]

Asshat is just a very satisfying thing to call someone.
