Had a day yesterday, which began rather early and went rather late.

I woke up and had a cuddle with Oscar, and came upstairs to check mail and have a cup of the nastiest coffee I�ve had in ages (wonder what went wrong there?), and get ready to go swimming with Portia. Just as I was getting my shoes on, the boss phones. What timing. I finally got off the phone� grabbed my MP3 player and raced out the door, because I didn�t want to be late.

It was nice, we swam around a bit, played with the pool noodles and then walked over here. The house is kind of a wreck, but it�s the same as it always is by the end of the week. I come home from work exhausted and throw everything on the floor, then on my day off I pick it up again. We hung out and chatted for a bit, had a cup of tea, then got out the battery-operated robot cockroach to show how angry Oscar can get. Really get him growling and he sounds like a blender.

Walked to work, had kind of a tough day. It was really busy and I felt like I was trying to be in two places once all afternoon. Got out of there a little late, but not ridiculously so� came home and ordered pizza They fucked up as usual, put a bunch of nasty shit on my pizza I didn�t order and overcharged us for it. I ate a piece of garlic bread and had some juice and went to bed.

This morning I called the pizza place to complain, and they offered us a 5$ discount on the next order. I said I didn�t think that would really do it, because the pizza was inedible and we had already been overcharged 3$ for it. She said I�d have to speak to the mgt then, because that�s all she was authorized to give. Fine. I�m going for a new pizza and the amount we were overcharged to be discounted from next order, or I�ll start ordering from somewhere else. The guy and I order from them pretty much every weekend� sometimes less, sometimes more if I am working overtime� and I figure we spend on average 50$ a month there. We�ve also been ordering from them for the last 4 years, and we�ve never complained before. So we�ll see what they do� if they insist on screwing up our order and not fixing it, we�ll start ordering from their competitor. I figure they�ll give me what I want� I�ve learned to be a real bitch to customer service people who screw me around� I learned it from the best of the best. I am a finely honed bitch when I need to be.

I was going to go swimming before work today, but then I took a look at the weather outside my window and opted not to. I opted for tea and bumming around instead. My bathing suit is still damp anyway.
