Settling In

We still don't have internet in out apartment, so I am writing offline, and will post this when I go to Mami and Papi's later. Right now I am waiting for the delivery guys. It's 11:40AM on Tuesday and they were supposed to be here between 9 and 9:30AM to replace the fridge. When it arrived on Saturday (at exactly 10AM, when they said they would come) it had a big chip in the paint on the door. We didn't notice it right away, since we had to remove all the boxes and wrapping, and the guys also delivered the washer, drier, and stove at the same time.

When we called in the afternoon to complain, the women said that we should have told the delivery guys when they were here so they could take it back (um, lady, we were a bit busy at that moment). She said that they would replace it on Monday night at 5PM. Well, after calling at 5:30PM and 6PM last night and being assured that they were coming, we called again at 6:30PM to be told that in fact, they would not be replacing the fridge that night. But they would come Tuesday morning between 9 and 9:30AM.

But the lady didn't tell us when the technicians, who were also supposed to show up at 5PM to connect the washer and drier, would arrive. They actually did show up at 6:30PM, just as we were trying to call the lady back. Our laundry room is in the courtyard, so it was dark while they were connecting the machines and all they had was the light from a dinky cell phone. Not very professional. So we let them use our headlamp and they connected the machines and I now am spending the day doing laundry. Our washer has a glass lid and it's pretty cool to see the process.

Scratch that. I mean scary.



Any suggestions on how to exorcise a washing machine?
