I enjoyed a rare Friday night off work tonight. Since I had my additional 10% discount bonus from Walmart, I decided I would use it toward Mom and Dad's Christmas gift. So today I went tv shopping, and I settled on a 26" RCA HD. After getting it unpacked and set up, lo and behold the DirecTV receiver went belly-up, so I spent a lot of time on the phone and online ordering a replacement receiver. So, it will be here in a couple of days, and hopefully balance and harmony will be restored. haha...Now, the useless people part..I had broken my watch a while back at work, so I had been going without one for a few weeks. The other day, Dad and Mom came out, and said they had a little early Christmas gift for me. You guessed it, a new watch. Now, the band was a little too big, and needed a couple of links taken out. So while I was in the store today getting the TV, I figured I'd get the watch band taken care of as well. I also had another old watch that just needed a battery replaced, so I dropped both of them off at the jewelry counter while I headed off to electronics. 30 minutes or so later, I came back to pick up the watches, and they (1) were unable to take links out of the new band (2) were unable to change batteries in the old watch (3) were unable to swap bands from the old watch to the new. So I totally struck out in the timepiece area. Oh well I can always carry it around in my shirt pocket. Either that, or take it to a professional jewelers, and pay the price. But I learned a lesson from all this...Don't buy a watch at Walmart and expect any help in the service department. Thats all I have to vent about for now, but stay tuned..
Merry Christmas to all:)
