Another Wasted Afternoon

So yesterday I spent the afternoon at the Verizon store. Today, I spent it at the Dodge dealership. I was due for an oil change and I was also told the last time I was there that I needed a new seal for the front differential (whatever that is), because it was leaking. It had to be ordered. So I made the appointment to get them both done at once. One hour and 45 minutes after sitting there, the service guy finally said he'd check and see what was taking so long. Apparently I had the slowest mechanic working on my vehicle, since people came and went in the service department while I waited. I did think ahead and brought along the open house invitations for Ashley's graduation party to fill out while sitting there. I also watched a little CNN on the Phil Spector case (he's guilty simply because he's so creepy looking!). But seriously folks, I am tired of wasting my afternoons sitting in someone's store or service department! Tomorrow I'm spending my afternoon at my house, then getting a pedicure!

That's why on the rare occasions when we use the dealership for service I make my husband drop it off in the morning and use their shuttle service to get to work. Enjoy the pedicure (I hope they don't keep you waiting!).

Yea, I usually go to Grease Monkey where I can be in and out in 30 minutes or less, but occasionally need to go to the dealer. Unfortunately, it didn't work out for me to drop it off and get a ride to work. Oh well....
