Wow... customer service?

I am continually dumbfounded at the lack of care or concern business owners have for the public here. How is it that in a place that reaches 100 + degrees daily can have faulty air conditioner servicemen? By faulty I mean the absolute inability to communicate with customers or fix things in a timely manner. In fact, the company I use here.. there aren't many to choose from... decided to forget about me and my air conditioning problems for about 2 weeks until I haunted him with phone calls and an attitude. I didn't WANT to get an attitude with these people but no one could give a straight answer as to why I am sweating and sleeping in a hot box all the while the part to fix my air conditioner is rolling around in the back of their work van.

I am praying that today.. he means what he says and will come by to do his job. Thankfully this $600.00 that is about to be headed his way isn't my actual own money and the owners of the Spa and our apartment are happy to foot the bill.

I also have had problems in this area when it comes to tree trimmers, eye Dr's, Dr's in general. The only people who care about what they do here are the bartenders. Something is wrong with that maybe.

The days seem to be getting hotter and hotter and my mind is wandering towards cooler climates. I never thought I would actually long for a climate where I could sit next to a piping hot fire with winter clothes on and sip soup. I often wondered if I would prefer being cold over being warm or the other way around. I think I have finally decided that I would rather be cold! CRAZY!

Crossing my fingers, crossing my braids, everything... I need this air conditioner fixed!

Just call me lonely lonesome pants.

A delicious, strong, and intoxicating cocktail has a nice ring to it right now. It is only 12:30 in the afternoon. What am I thinking? I am nearing the end of my work week soon. It is Friday today and my official "Friday" is tomorrow. One of the main facets of a good life are friendships and best of all friends to share in after work drinks. I have many friendships and friends that would love to meet me out for a drink tonight. However, none of those amazing friends of mine live here. I feel sad often when I think about how I don't have any soul busting girlfriends where I live right now. I know it is partly because I never have any time to be out of this spa. I wake up here, I work here, I end my day here and at night I am still doing work for the spa. This has taught me some serious lessons in living in the same place I work. It gets very tough mentally do deal with. So, since I don't have any friends that would either be calling me to go have a drink or that I can call... I will still have a beer or 4 but with my next to human best friend Sparky dog.

Ready to Go!

I am itching to get out and run around today! It is so hot though. It has been hot since January. I am NOT complaining. I know there is worse weather out there. Today I will do my usual after work thing. I take Sparky out for a LONG walk that he and I both desperately need by the end of each day. We people watch together and he sniffs and pees on things. When we get back and wait for Ben to get off work, I flip on some tunes and cook a nice little meal for dinner. I will make Sparky's dinner too. Oh he is so spoiled. Then I will probably take him out again for an after dinner digestion walk. We both love those. By the time I am through with that excitement, Ben will be home shortly and then we can finally catch up on our days together by sitting together on the porch and sipping either a brewskie or a COLD glass of water. Nothing is more refreshing then either of those when you live so close to the equator. My day is almost done and I cannot wait.
