My grandmother needs her pacemaker checked.

Receptionist: Hi *mumblemumblemumble*!
Me: This is where I call to get a pacemaker checked?
Receptionist: I'unno. *click*

Me: I'm not sure I WANT to deal with that receptionist again. I'll try google. Okay, this is the number for these people, got it...
Phone: To continue in English, please press one now.
Me: Okay. One!
Phone: *starts speaking Spanish*
Me: Uh... riiiiiight.

Well, third time must've been a charm!

And the UPS guy came. Again!

See, Jenn had asked me to listen out for the truck, and I said that of course I'd be home all day - unless the truck showed up during my brief sojourn to pick up the nieces and buy pasta.

Guess what? The truck showed up during my brief sojourn to pick up the nieces and buy pasta. I wasn't gone more than half an hour!

But it turns out that when he first showed up he could only find one of the two boxes he was supposed to deliver. So when he found the second he decided to swing around again and see if he could catch me - and he did! Yay!

I didn't sign my name, those things are useless that they ask you to sign on anyway. I just kinda scribbled a bit.
