Everything goes wrong. And today was such a day for me, a day to stay in bed and sleep away the day. And it isn’t even Friday the 13th.
- It started with my dad telling me and my mum that the front window of our car was broken. When I took a look it was apparent that some weirdo, with its drunken head, thought it funny to through a bike at our car. The result: A totally new front window, scratches on the paint and a few dents. On a brighter sight, the front window already was broken a tiny bit, now we’ve got a perfectly looking window.
- Okay, car window was broken. What does one do when that’s happened? You call the “Carglass”. A 24/7 service for reparing windows of cars. Yeah, but not during the summer period. It wasn’t really that save to drive around to the place, so we asked if someone could come. That was alright, like next Thursday alright! So my mum brought away the car, took home the bus, was back home for about fifteen minutes and my phone rang: carglass; we could pick up our car after 11.15 hrs.
- Car picked up, up to my appartment to see how the contractor is doing. He had worked one day so far, and he should have started June 30th. But he has been there again. The result: a broken door window, water tap disappeard, ceiling in the bathroom gone (never told him to do that). I called the man and asked him all about those things. I got my answers and about one thing they would phone me back.
- When finished with some wallpaper removing, me and my mum went to a store called “Kwantum” to see if they had a nicely prized wallpaper, which could stand my approval. That happened to be the case. What also happened to be the case was the phone call from the contractor I was awaiting. Something went wrong with ordering the kitchen cabinets. Now it would take up to six weeks for them to be delivered. That’s the end of my holidays! I wanted to be living there at the end of my holidays. The contractor told me he would already be finished! Now all my plans of redecorating the place are kinda put on hold.
- When I got my stuff from Ikea two weeks ago, one of the packages was damaged. The company that delivered would take it back and contact me when they would be able to deliver a new one. So far, in those two weeks, all I know is that it has been ordered by the delivery company at Ikea. No phone call yet as to when to deliver it at my place.
- On July 8th my washing machine and microwave would have been brought. When I called the day before to listen for the time, the deliver adress was not known. My mum handled it the next day and a new date had been set: July 22th. Now I’m calling and so far delivery times are not available and I have to try later again.
I wished I’d stayed in bed and slept during this horrific day
P.S. now at 8.45 pm I called again (see point 6) and yahooo! They will arrive between 12 and 3pm.
