I hate KMart

So my less-than-spacious living quarters are missing three very important things: air conditioning, television and internet access. After countless e-mail/phone hints to my father (Gosh dad, it's just so hot here... well I don't really know anyone and I just get kind of bored and lonely at night... ), he said to "get what I needed" and we would work something out. I should've known the process would be a struggle when I went to the front desk of my building to pay for an AC rental. Do you know what they said? We'll try to get it installed some time this week." WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? Hey, thanks for your $200, maybe we can work something out by Friday? Grr... Then I ventured four blocks down to KMart. The guy not only sold me a three-pronged power strip for my two-pronged outlets, but also convinced me that the $38.99 rabbit ear things were "such a better investment" than the ones for $9.99. Electronics are the devil. But here's the kicker... I had to pay them $30 to deliver my tv FOUR BLOCKS. I even tried to pawn a cart off them and promised I would bring it right back. Nope, they weren't having it. Then they give me a 3 1/2 hour time frame when it could be delivered. I couldn't leave my room from 7:30-11 pm. Well, 11 pm rolls around and still no tv. I call and they tell me they've forgotten to put it on the truck. Really. That's super. Now I have to have a repeat performance of last night's waiting game and persuade a non-English speaking manager that I should get my money back. So as not to be entirely pessimistic, I've come up with three good things about life — 1. My biggest worry at work is the fact the PR lady sent me Valentino glasses instead of Gucci. 2. I'm coming home for five days during the 4th of July weekend and 3. (AKS, this is for you...) People is releasing its annual "50 Hottest Bachelors" on Friday and five of them are in the lobby of my building for a meet and greet this afternoon. Sigh... Will get back with everyone on how the $38.99 rabbit ears are working...it had better be damn good.
