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*

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

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

*loads of hugs and positive thoughts*

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

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

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?

What a stupid moving guy.

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

Stupid couch guy.

I'm thinking good thoughts about James.

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

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*

What? They didn't even try? Grrr!

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*

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.

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

Ick, I hope James gets better!
