Ask and ye shall receive.....late
We finally got our stuff on Thursday, only 8 days after it arrived in Honolulu. I called on Monday, knowing our stuff was in city limits to ask when it would get here. The women said, "You previously requested this load expedited, correct?" I said "yes". Then she said "When do you want it". Last time I checked, expedited meant ASAP. So I said "ASAP" She then told me we could have it Thursday, which seems more like ASAWeWantToDeliverIt. Had I known this would be the response, I would have called last Wednesday and said I would like it now. Anyway, it is here and we are unpacking. We finally have furniture and kitchen supplies (pics to follow soon). You never realize how much you rely on things until you have them no more.
Right this second we are watching college football. Penn State just crushed lowly Florida International and Georgia is playing right now but we can't watch it because ESPN 2 has to show the rest of the Illinois game. And Michigan just lost to a AA team Appalachian State. Ha! We are also heading to our first UH Rainbow Warriors game tonight to watch Colt Brennan tear apart Northern Colorado on his way to the Heisman. We are going with 2 new friends, Charlie and Roisin (pronounced Rosheen - irish/gaelic). Go Warriors!
We also spent 5 and 1/2 hours leasing a 2007 Jetta for Elizabeth yesterday. It was especially fun and exciting because I hadn't eaten all day, the salesmen was formerly in the "Hospitality Industry", and his partner tried to throw numbers over our heads all day. But needless to say we walked out of there with a fair deal for a 24 month lease. What a day!
And on a funny note, Jersey ran head first into our screen door yesterday, thus beginning what is sure to be a semi-monthly trip to the local hardware store for repair.
Aloha,
Matt
