So the crappy week has decided to keep on keepin’ on. The new fridge arrived today, but as the guys were unloading it from the truck, we discovered that it was dinged up as well.
This was after the folks at Warner’s Stellian’s Warehouse had inspected it for damage. Mmyeah. Hmmright. “Inspected”.
But the delivery dudes were nice guys, they saved us some trouble by opening the box in the street and helping me identify the glaring problem. I don’t think I’ll be as smiley if they give us another banged up one tomorrow.
Want to read about my bad experience with Warners’ Stellian and their extended warranty from the start? I’ve created a new category here at the Q-Blog that contains all posts that touch on the subject of my powerfully bad experience with Warners’ Stellian.

Erin has fallen ill, so I’m spending more time watching the fussbudget (an appropriate term for the youngester) today. Which is bad timing, as I have work for a client to do.
Ah well. So it goes. It could be worse.
The toilet’s fixed, at least.
I have 5 things to say to you…
Swaddle
Side (often preferred carrying position)
Shush
Swing (or jiggle)
Suck (as in pacifier)
Saw a highly-nurse-recommended video in hospital with those suggestions – some combo often works well for calming…
I’m a big fan of “Sing”
Something about the vibrations through the torso, I think, as it certainly isn’t the melodic strains pouring from my mouth.
Duct tape.
Swings save lives.
I can’t offer any advice on the calming of youngsters, but I can say that your fridge adventures are bordering on the tragi-comic. Glad your toilet is at least fixed. And you’re right… it could be worse. You could be digging up a corpse in a grave yard and it could start to downpour. That would suck.
Good luck with the next fridge and the child care!
