So my modem gets fried in a severe storm last night. Call first thing this morning and am told they will get one out today on overnight. Only to find out instead of the overnight I paid for they sent it ups ground so won't get it until Tuesday.
Go to the sewing store and forgot to check the price on one of the machines I'm interested in, call them up and even though I was just there they won't price over the phone. Have to drive thirty miles back up if I want the price.
Spend an hour or two trying to get my wireless printer to print from my phone since I have internet on it. Finally get a test page to print yay. But labels won't print. Eventually cave and go spend $100 on a hotspot and data. Stay printing labels, get to the last one and run out of ink.
No problem I bought one in town so pop it in, nothing prints on the paper. Try again, nothing, put old back in now it's not working now either. The black print head went out I guess. Spend an hour trying to clean the screen recalibrate etc nothing
That's just the highlights, so glad today is over lol

Peek, so sorry to hear of your misfortune. Some days, do you wonder why you ever got out of bed? I used to have days like that. It sucks, for sure!

Oh peek--I hope you have a better day today. Sorry it was a crappy one for you.
Yes, I know the days you're talking about. The ones where it seems everything you touch turns to crap? I've learned to give up early and park my butt on the couch and watch TV. Normally, the remote won't work and I have to cuss at it a couple times to get it to work--but I figure once it's on and I'm planted, everything should be OK.

I can't see my peep cake on my phone. Lol
It was so bad it would of been funny if it wasn't so frustrating, so much more went wrong than I listed. I really should have stopped and called it an early night Liz. Didn't help I was running on almost no sleep. Had my whiny pity session last night and feeling much better today.
Thanks
No idea why they don't do prices over the phone but you'd think since I had literally been in there going through machines an hour before they could make an exception.
Trying to decide if I want too go back down today or not. I do the majority of my sewing on my serger. I definitely do need a new sewing machine for top stitching but not sure I really need an expensive machine when that's mostly what it's used for.

I'm sorry you had such a rotten day Peek.
Hopefully all the bad crud got itself out yesterday and you will have great worry free days for the rest of the month.

Sorry your day sucked. I've had similar days. Last time it happened, I had a meltdown. But after all the screaming and cursing, I felt better.
I wonder if the reason they won't price over the phone has to with people calling around for the best price. Some places may price match. Or scammer shoppers claiming they were told x price over the phone when in fact it was a different price to get a discount.

Today is going much better, other than the guy who is suppose to brush hog the back property is a no call no show so far. We fired up the grill to try it out. Mmmm good burgers. Even had to celebrate Easter eve with a bunny bun in my hair lol

I hope tomorrow is better too! Does anyone know why they won't give prices over the phone? Most electronic stores & some other types of stores won't give prices over the phone in order to make it harder to comparison shop & make it harder for their competitors to do comparison shopping for pricing purposes.
eta: I should say this was a trend a few years ago. Not sure how many still do it. Same with appliance stores.

I'd try calling back and saying "I can get this machine on Amazon for $xxx. Are you priced lower, or should I just go ahead and place my order with them?" and see if they will cave and give you a price.
