Fridge

Every household have some unheralded members, ones who get no credit, no respect and no attention. But when they are no longer at their full potential that is a great loss.

That is the kind of loss we just suffered. A dear and quiet member of our family left us. Our refrigerator has died. It went to refrigerator heaven. I always maintained that refrigerators are the most unappreciated appliences in a household. We take them for granted but when they give up it is very sad.

We have two fridges in our apartment and the smaller one just gave up. Warm beer is only liked by the brits but warm soda is totally unbearable. We started to look around and you wouldn't believe that there is a refrigerator shortage. At least for the kind we wanted. And when we found one, delivery time varied between a week and a month. Totally unacceptable.

My resourceful wife looked and looked until she found a solution. Home Depot had the refrigerator we wanted but witha one week delivery time. But if we bought two, next day delivery was doable. So, she ordered two. Fortunately. our apartment is large enough for all these refrigerators. We drink an enormous amount of water and other drinks and were not able to store them properly. Now we will be.

Home Depot gave us a delivery window between 6 am and 10 am. So we got up early to wait. It is 10 am now and there is no trace of our stuff. They sent a notice that says they are on the truck and the delivery window is now has been extended until 8 pm. Ridiculous, no? We are just sitting around, doing nothing just waiting for the refrigerators.

Why didn't we call a repair service?

Ps: 11:30 the delivery showed up. All's well that ends well.
