Daily Grin September 17
Okay, this will be hard for you to believe, but it is absolutely TRUE!!! The mirror guy called me today (ok, that's not really the "hard to believe" part). Flashback to Wednesday, when I popped into the autobody shop after my doc appointment. Three of us looked in the book and found the right mirror for my car (or at least we all agreed that it should work) and the mirror dude ordered it while I stood there. The person on the phone said, "yep, you'll have it tomorrow". The mirror dude must have repeated that part about three times..."tomorrow, then. Okay great.... tomorrow". Looked at me and said "it should be here tomorrow".
Well, "tomorrow" was yesterday and I didn't get a call. Today, I got a call. Guess what?? The place it was ordered from got a little confused and failed to "rush order" the mirror so that it would arrive the next day (code for "tomorrow"). Instead, the mirror will (should) arrive Monday. I'm hoping that they mean Monday, September 20, 2004 but I'm learning not to assume anything.
I have become convinced that I will be getting either a lapbelt or a headlight instead of a mirror. If I should happen to actually get a mirror, I'm certain that it will be a rearview mirror instead of the door/side mirror. At this point, I'm ready to duct tape a hand mirror to the side of my car.
Have a great weekend !! J
