I am not a patient person.  I am however a slightly neurotic one.  I have two young boys.   I have a husband who owns a construction business.  I have a little laundry to do.  Ha.  I have a extra capacity Kenmore Oasis washing machine that I love.  However, it has decided to spring a weird noise on me when it revs up to spin out our clothes.  Hmmm.  I bought an extended warranty due to the fact I have two boys and a husband.  I called up and got an appointment.  I was told they would be here today(SATURDAY???).  I thought coming out on a Saturday was a little weird, but okay.  I got my confirmation call last night, or at least my husband did.  I was ready at 8:00 am, because that is when the service person could possibly be at my door.  Somewhere between 8:00 am and 5:00 pm.  Does anyone there scheduling an appointment realize what damage can be done to a clean house between those hours with two little heathens boys on site?  Anyone, anyone?  So I have been here waiting, because I was told if the service person was to call and I was to not answer, he/she would take it that I wasn’t home.  It is now 3:00pm and the countdown is on.  Will the washing machine get repaired today?  Or will I be on the phone Monday morning trying to get someone to tell me why the repair person was a no show?  The suspense is killing me.

This also leads into the story about my sewing machine  being held hostage at a repair place.  I was told that they had the part and that it would be fixed and that it would only cost me $100.  Ok, I said go ahead.  That was 3 and a half months ago.  I have called the repair shop four times now.  Each time getting a different story.  First the part was there and I was next in line.  Then I left a message which no one returned.  Next the part wasn’t there, they must be waiting for it and then finally someone told me that they weren’t sure where my machine was- they couldn’t see it.  I was then put on hold and a more authoritative voice came on the line and told me that she would get back to me on Thursday.  That was a week ago and I have not heard from them again.  Wait I lied, they sent me a flier to come to the shop and look at new sewing machines that were on sale for the holidays.  Anyway… if you see a Brother CS-8060 wandering the streets.  Take him home with you and let me know, I’ll come get him or pay for his trip home.  GOD!!!  I am calling the BBB.
