| still feeling crappy in the
morning i paperworked for 90 minutes and while not totally the most fun thing ever i was feeling ok by the end of it so figured i'd ease back into work by tying up some loose ends and since i had some 11-week-old returns there anyway i was off to home depot in search of a shower door drip rail their website said might be in stock in the shower door aisle i saw nothing that i could use so i asked she-who- told-me-to-ask-in-appliances-he-might- know, so i asked the guy sitting at the desk who literally said literally three different times in 90 uncomfortable seconds, who sent me to ask in the door department where beard-o suggested i look back in shower door aisle, but specifically the grey display boxes with "Magic-something" products, but maybe that was a joke b/c while i found the grey boxes, nothing fit the bill. i asked an employee loitering around tubs and he directed me to a guy at the end of the aisle, "if he ever stops bullshitting." then seeing it was hopeless he fetched him for me, having to yell, and the first thing the bullshitter says to me is, "Here are the three rules in life…" One of which was never stick your fork into an outlet and other such hilarity, to which I listened patiently before replying, "That's deep. Now what I'm looking for is…" (Sorry, I just did not have time for his canned monologue.) He directed me to aisle 12 which, to his credit, was closer than anyone else had come but they didn't have the shower drip rail i longed for. before giving up entirely i asked maps for "shower supply seattle" and the pin dropped with instant precision smack dab on Connecticut. that's was too far to go for a drip rail so i tried again in safari and found northwest shower door, just two blocks south of where i was. they had the answer to my shower door drip prayer and i gladly forked over $10 for 36" of primo rail. it was another one of those offices that seemed stuck somewhere in the not-too-distant past, but just far enough to make me nostalgic for humans. and to top it off i found the fattest roll of electric tape i've ever seen, just sitting there waiting for me to pick it up out of the gutter. yay! |
