3-30-10 Tuesday (Old Clothes)

Vacuuming and mopping.  Oh what fun!   I don’t think I’ve mentioned it but Jodi is coming Thursday!  She’ll be here Thursday afternoon and depart Saturday morning. 

Jim got a call the other day from one of the dry cleaners saying we have unclaimed clothes waiting from January.  I remembered that I brought clothes in for a redo and I know I picked them up.  Maybe something got separated.  I went in.  The clerk, a ditz possibly because of a language barrier, greets me.  I tell her I got a call to pick up some old dry cleaning.  I tell her “Jim Kelly”.  She looks on a paper list of “Aged pieces over 60 days” and looks under J.  She points to a name that’s not even similar.  I see it’s by last name so I say “no, the last name is Kelly – with a K.”  She starts back up at the A’s and scans the list again.  She finds the name.  I see the last column for total due is $0 which would be the redo.  She asks, yes, asks “Do you want to pick them up?”  I would have liked to have said, “no, I’m just visiting” but instead I gave her a “ye-ah” in a Valley Girl sorta way.  She goes to the back.  I wait.  She comes back to the front and grabs the list, returning to the back.  I wait.  She says “someone must have picked these up”.  Really?  Yeah, like 2 months ago ya bimbo.  Thanks for not verifying you actually have stuff here by comparing them to the list prior to calling us.

My This Day In Our History is very boring, much like this entry.  How fitting.

DIH - Head A year ago, it was apparently so boring that I have nothing to draw from.  Click here if you really want to see a 3 paragraph entry about napping, lunch and dinner.

  1. My solution? Don't send clothes to the dry cleaner. Granted that only works in my household since Jeff and I don't wear clothes (or even buy clothes) that require dry cleaning.

  2. @Liz: We only have dress shirts washed and pressed. No dry clean. With me home, I iron. Once I'm working we'll resume wash/press service.
