What I'm Reading This Week #17
Time for Friday which means planning weekend shenanigans should be afoot! Well, the carpet thing as far as the obscene amount we have left went nowhere. They gave an excuse which measurement wise makes no sense, swore we weren't charged for it and now we have a friggin' roll left to figure out what the hell to do with it. Do you know how many times over the past 8 years we have said the phrase "we'll figure it out?" 7,422. I'M. TIRED. OF. HAVING. TO. FIGURE. IT. OUT!!!!!! You listening up there, Sir or Madam? Can we please be done?? The only thing we got was a service call which they were late for to fix the gap which yay but shouldn't have been there in the first place. Rat bastards. The worst of it is when you look up the reviews for the place after the fact (because they don't tell you who it is before or you'd never buy through them). This place gets one star out of like 20 reviews over the years. Th...
I always wished I could work on cars enough to replace some of the big items. I did my own brakes once and was just too nervous the whole time. Then I went to drive after changing them and had no idea you had to "bleed" the lines first. Had to call the uncle on that one for guidance. So while I did it okay in the end, save for that one step, it still had me so nervous that I was just like why put myself through this? Let a pro do it. I know guys who change their own shocks and struts, etc all the time like it's nothing but I just don't have the knack for that stuff. I almost inevitably end up losing a very important bolt never to be found again in the process of any type of auto repair. So I wish I had that talent, but I don't.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could play the piano. I was in band, and hated it, because I wanted piano and/or keyboard lessons. Ironically my mom could play by ear on multiple instruments.
ReplyDeleteI'm like you, I wish I had the talent to play a musical instrument. In grade 7 everyone in my class was made to learn an instrument. I learned the alto saxophone. I was not good, no matter how hard I practiced, and dropped it as soon as I could. I also tried learning the guitar and the piano, but no good. My hands and eyes are just not coordinated enough to read the music notes and make them at the same time. So I cook/bake. I can read and then I do or I can improvise.
