Good morning Lodge. Was at the dealership at 7:30am to drop my car off. Asked for their shuttle to take me to the commuter rail station to take the train into Boston. "We could never keep a driver on staff so we stopped the shuttle and now call Ubers." OK fine. They call an Uber. They tell me to wait at the main entrance. I take my phone out, turn the ringer on, hold in my left hand. In my right hand, I look at my work phone. After 10 minutes, I look at my phone, there is a text saying the ride was cancelled along with a voicemail. It never rang or buzzed while in my hand.
So, I go back into the service area to tell them to get me an Uber again. They do. This time I stand outside in the cold. Uber driver calls, says "I'm here." I said "No, you're not. I'm standing outside the main entrance." Turns out the idiot can't read signs on how to get to where I am, was in the back of the building. He finally gets there. Goes out a one way the wrong way. Takes me to the train station, totally isn't paying attention to where I need to be dropped off, apparently can't see the large terminal building, drives in a "buses only or pay a $500 fine" lane to drop me off.
Because of all this, I miss the one train I wanted to be on, had to wait for the 8:36am one. Got me to North Station a little after 9:00. Then had to take the T to the office. But first I needed coffee and breakfast because now it's 9:30 and, well, I'm STARVING. Now I'm waiting for the call to tell me what they found or didn't find, how much it's going to cost me and then do the same trip, just backwards. I may forego having them call me an Uber and just get my own Lyft.
Evening, Lodge. Got home, checked the Tweeter Machine as part of my usual internet run, and found that I had a message from the owner of the local brewery I frequent. I am a member of their VIP Club, where a yearly fee gets you discounts, early admittance to bottle release parties, etc. For a little extra, you also get customized glassware. 2 years ago, it was a 20oz glass Das Boot (which I had Das Rube engraved on it ). Unfortunately, while trying to carry too much stuff from my car, I dropped it and broke it a couple months after I got it. No big deal to me, it's just a glass.
Well, the message was that they ordered me a new Das Boot as a surprise, and it's there to be picked up. That's hella customer service.
Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

I was with screaming babies this afternoon, though...

HHT! Did not make the trip to Vermont. Because I have to be at the office tomorrow morning at 7:30. Ugh. Will be driving my new...well, not new but loaner car. Car is still at the dealership. Need to replace the fuel tank. And fuel lines. Double and triple Ugh.
Beat the Bucking Fadgers 6-2 on the road tonight. Down 2-1, we scored 5 straight. It was beautiful.
