Installed

I got my CD player installed! Yah! Now I can rock with the best of them! I am so excited but I need to read the book to learn how to run the darn thing. Okay I know how to insert a CD and it will play but I don’t know how to listen to the radio after I have listened to a CD.

I tried to set the pre-sets ~ like I had before! I can only pick up two radio stations by seeking. I will learn how to find them.

I should have stuck to my rule ~ Go nowhere on Boxing Day! That is a zoo that I just can not handle without wanting to punch someone!

When I took my car to Best Buy to get the CD player installed I was told that I had a four hour wait. Okay, I am here now I may as well wait. Really I have no choice! Dick drove in to get his pick-up then I drove to Best Buy.

Car stereos were a hot item for Christmas. Next walks in a cute young gal. She had a “Class of 2004” lanyard so I assumed that she was 19/20. Cute girl with a sweet little girl voice.

I sat there for a while until I was bored right out of my skull so I broke down and called Dick to come get me. The lesser of two evils ~ not sure! I knew that I would be riding around car lots ~ that is entertainment for him.

We checked a few times to see if my car had moved and when it had finally moved I told him that he could drop me off. He went in with me because he did not agree with the estimate of $105. When he bought the stereo they told him about $75 so that was the amount of the Gift Card that he bought. As we walked in the young gal and her dad were being escorted from the store to the installation area. He was having a temper tantrum, a loud temper tantrum about the labor charge. I looked at Dick and told him not to worry about it, they don’t need another salty customer and they were not quite done with my car yet.

Have you figured out what made me angry yet?

I was sitting there when that young gal walked in yet her car was already done and mine was not! “They only do installations on the first come, first serve basis.” Riiiiiiiight!

So I said to the nice young man that installed my stereo “it is obvious that you guys take care of the cute young girls before you serve the old ladies. I was here when she walked in and her car is done and I am still waiting.” I was said it in a joking tone of voice but I thought that they should think about that! First come, first serve should be first come, first serve because I did try to set up an appointment and they wouldn’t let me!

I will be jammin!
