Day 14.


This morning we rode 3 miles and after a long day of cleaning out the garage Robert rode another 7 miles with me. That makes 10 miles for me and about 15 for him, because he rode some while I was at work. I needed the ride because it was a crazy and irritating day. It amazes me what people will call in over and not think twice about. It also amazes me that management doesn't notice that some people are always at work, while others find every reason not to come to work, or not to stay at work.
I also got a call from an irate family member wondering where her family member was, since *****disclaimer: I am not making this up***** the crematory said her family member was not dead and was not there. She wanted to know what I did with the patient. I have never seen the patient and therefore didn't know what happened. I tried to call people, but ended up taking her phone number. During my 20 minute butt chewing, the crematory was trying to call her and say that they had made a mistake. A MISTAKE!! Putting pickles on a burger you ordered with no pickles is a MISTAKE!! Telling someone their loved one is not dead and not there when they are in fact dead and in fact there is a travesty!!! That my friends, is just one of the crazy stories of today!! One more for the books!! I need a vacation!!

It amazes me what's called a mistake these days! I recently had to travel to Wisconsin because last year the cemetery made a "mistake" and put her urn in the wrong plot. They actually told us that we could come re-bury her ourselves or we could pay them (again) to move her. ARG!

I'm glad to read that the bike riding is going well! :) Y'all may be riding to Columbus by next spring. LOL

What has this world come to? Paying someone to UNDO their mistake, or "allowing" you to fix it yourself for FREE. Thank goodness you are a strong woman! I'm sure you "gently" explained to them that they would move her, and not charge you a dime "bless their confused hearts." They were probably afraid of you! The language barrier, you know!
