THE LAST DAY OF MAY.......................................

The last day of May - graduates are graduating, school almost out for another year, June just around the bend, and here I sit, waiting - waiting - waiting, for the service technician to arrive to tell me why my refrigerator is not working.

For some strange reason every tech has told me something different, they have replaced all the parts, and for the icing on the cake, I found water running out from under said refrigerator yesterday.  Had to put a towel down to keep it moped up.  And you wonder why I am sarcastic.  I believe I have more than enough reasons to make me that way.

I am not normally sarcastic, bent out of shape (well, depends on which shape you are looking at), and close to tears.  I'm mostly up-beat, just enjoy myself no matter what I am doing.  In my hundred plus years (I look pretty good for my age don't I?) it has taken Sears to break me.  It only took them 5 weeks.  They should write a book on how to make a person's life completely miserable, they are experts.

So today, a beautiful morning, when I should be outside mowing yard, working on flower beds, and moping the deck to remove the stains from spilled food and drink on Sunday, what am I doing?  I am sitting here in my house, waiting for the telephone to ring, a call from the service tech, who is supposed to be here between 8 a.m. and noon.

I don't think Sears is sophisticated enough to use service techs that have a GPS in the vehicle.  I don't believe they would know how to use one if they did have one.  So I sit, and wait, for that phone call  "Hi - I'm your Sears Service Technician, could you give me directions on how to find you"

I wonder what frustrations June will bring.  I really don't see how it could be any worse than May.  I even had one Sears Customer Service rep ask me "How are you keeping your food cold, using an ice chest?"

When I was growing up we did have a refrigerator, but we also knew folks who had the, what was known as, ICE CHEST.  Yes, they had ice chests, would buy ice by the block, put it in this ice chest and it would keep their food cooler than room temp.  They thought they had it made.

And yes, I am using ice to keep my new, modern, up-to-date, state of the art, refrigerator, a little bit cool.  So the saga continues. 

If you see on the news some evening the story of the wild-eyed crazy people, unloading a beautiful state of the art refrigerator at the local Sears store, with a huge sign reading A VERY EXPENSIVE PIECE OF JUNK, or some such thing, you will know we were finally driven over the edge.  And it only took 5 weeks.

Have a good day and God Bless.
