Today has been a bit dull, so I decided to liven it up by phoning The Kitchen Idiot to see why I still have no shelves. I have to give him one thing, he is quite inventive with his excuses.

You may recall someone did show up two weeks ago to collect the template to go make the glass shelves. I have heard nothing since, and haven't had the energy to phone and argue. But today, I did. This might be my favourite weak excuse so far -

He claims he sent someone up on "the day of the bad snow" - last Monday - "on the OFFCHANCE" that I might have stayed off work. But OH NOES! I was not it. Yet it did not occur to him then, or at any time since to CALL ME and see if there was a time I COULD be in. Oh no.
So he is going to see when they could come and call me back. I won't be holding my breath. I can't even be bothered getting annoyed about it now, it's actually more amusing.

Must also sort out getting kitchen walls done (skimmed, painted). Sometime.

ION... not a lot. I have purchased myself a pedometer so I can numberchase walking more. I am sure soon I will stop obsessively checking to see how far I've gone NOW. Getting the train to work and walking about at lunchtime seems to rack up about 2.5 miles, which isn't bad; currently aiming for at least 6000 steps a day, which will hopefully increase as the weather gets better and I get fitter.
Of course the minor downside to this is that, working in the city centre, the only place to walk *to* is round the shops, which seems to lead to inadvertant spending. Maybe I should try exercising some will power as well ;p

I'd be tempted to send TKI's boss (or maybe his boss's boss) a letter explaining that if this doesn't begin to be dealt with soon (say, a fortnight before TKI actually does a damn thing that doesn't involve ignoring your schedule), then you will demand a reduction in the cost of the work. When it reaches zero, you can start billing them. Don't forget to add administration charges onto it once you start sending bills. :D


...or, you can do the more 'sensible' thing, which is formally complain and then mutter about it and contact Trading Standards.

If I don't have the shelves by the end of the week, letters will be written.

In fact, if he doesn't get back to me by the end of today, letters Will Be Written *eyes phone*

It's mostly annoying because the rest of the work was done on time, and to a good standard, TKI is basically tarnishing what should have been an excellent result for them (and me).
The vengence of She-Ra may come upon him from ABOVE.
