• Hurray for Customer Service (Week of 02/24/08)

    What a week. Started off on Monday with a Howie Day concert, which went pretty well. Tuesday, I find out three weeks after ordering, that the headlights I purchased for the Civic have been discontinued. Thursday, the company that I ordered my new Civic battery from finally received their supply (two weeks after ordering), and

    Just got home (err back to work) from seeing this show. I had never seen Howie in concert so this proved to be a good evening. Arrived at IOTA around 6:15, bought my “ticket,” grabbed a bite at the cafe, and then ventured over to the club portion. Over the course of thenight I also

  • Week of 02/10/08

    Nothing much to report this week. Went out last night to Buffalo Billiards. Had a good time thanks to the shuffleboard tables, but received absolutely atrocious service so I gave a tip of $0. Man, it was bad. On the bright side, they had Blue Moon on tap! Yesss. This coming week is of course
