I heart Ambien, part deux

There is a BIG Libbey Glass Outlet

where I live.  My BFF and I usually

go there about once a year to browse

and re-stock.  The prices are great

and it makes for a good outing.

We each bought a few things.

My "finds" included a few glassware

items and a few pieces of silverware.

My entire purchase was $30 ish.

One of the things I like about this

place is the way they carefully pack

all the glass.  They wrap and re-wrap

then box it up for travel, even if you're

just going across town.  The "packer"

even marked one of the boxes with an

"X" so we wouldn't confuse them

on the drive home.  Great idea!

Later that night I put the new glassware

into the dishwasher and left the box

on the counter. 

The next morning I reached into the box

for the silverware I had purchased...

No silverware.   Rats! 

The "packer" had failed to put the

silverware into the box with the glassware.

OR

perhaps she had accidently placed

it in my friend's box.  Called my friend -

nope, it wasn't in her box.

I had my ticket which showed I had paid

for the silverware, so I called the store

to make arrangements to come claim

my purchase.  They were polite but

there was quite a bit of "to do" about

this $6 portion of  my purchase.. 

They had me talk to two people,

then it was determined that the manager

would need to call me back later

in the day to "discuss this".  She did,

but by then it was too late to make

the drive to the store. . .The store

would be closed on Sunday so I

planned to go there on Monday.

Imagine my surprise

when I unloaded

the dishwasher Monday morning

and found the missing silverware.

If you've read yesterdays post then

this is beginning to make sense.

I had taken my "pill" before

unpacking the box and placing

the items into the dishwasher late

Friday night. While I remembered

unpacking the glassware,
I had no recollection of the
silverware. 

'Nuff said.
