Last week was a rough week. I spent an entire day waiting at home for the crib and dresser to be delivered for it to NOT be delivered. Apparently the delivery guy was running late and blah blah blah...I stopped listening to the excuses. Because frankly, it didn't matter. I was so angry that I waited home for HOURS for them to not even show up, and then I had to call them to find out WTF was going in. They still were planning on coming, but they probably wouldn't have gotten to my house until 8PM (my window was from 2-6PM). And then they would be assembling the crib and dresser for probably a good 2 hours. Having 2 strange men in my house at 10 PM at night while my husband is working out of town...um NO! I was not going to stand for that. So I rescheduled for after my Florida trip.
But oh man, dealing with this delivery company has been the death of me. Just in the set of for scheduling the delivery was a headache. I would call the company and they would say that the "tech" (aka the delivery guy) would call me that evening to set up delivery. They told me these 3 DIFFERENT DAYS! I never received a call ever, so I would call back the next day. It was SOO FRUSTRATING! So i really didn't have the highest of hopes when it came to them delivering, but when they never showed up and I had wasted an ENTIRE day, I lost it. I was so angry and then my anger turned into sadness and tears. It was a big old mess.
Two days later, I flew down to Florida to find my mom's condo in a mess. She has been having work done on it for the past 4 months due to a flood that caused her to replace her entire kitchen. The workers have been working SO SLOWLY and it's taking forever to get anything done. We hadn't been down here for a solid 2 months, plenty of time for them to finish the project. But do you think they finished? Nope. So I came here without a sink in the kitchen, without an oven/stove hooked up (it was in the living room still in the box), no countertops (because they're not in yet), a missing toilet in the bathroom, a missing sink in the bathroom, and probably a bunch of other small things that hadn't been taken care of. I was aware about the lack of counter tops before I came down here, but everything else was supposed to be taken care of!
So my anger turned into sadness again and I was a balling mess of tears. I chewed out the contractor but he had every excuse in the book about why things weren't done. "I didn't know you were coming." So what!! You said it would be done by Wednesday, so I should have been fine by the time I came down Thursday. He got some workers to come on the next 2 days so I at least had a kitchen sink and the oven hooked up. But still, the condo is a mess, its in complete disarray, and its sooo dirty from all the work being done. The work is going to start back up tomorrow, but lucky for me, I leave tomorrow. It's just been such a headache!
