He told them I was very petite and wearing formal wear to an evening wedding, and yet they forced me to drive a van...could they compensate me for my inconvenience? (The answer was no, although he's usually more successful.)<br /><br />I'm a good shopper. I love the thrill of the hunt, don't mind searching for bargains and love to roll out a coupon when I can. The shopping thing really kicks in when I need to buy a gift for someone. The exception might be baby shower gifts, I've bought too many of them recently to put any effort into it!Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13358283695531275237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6491078852155861424.post-21051983625267154522010-01-04T18:43:22.651-08:002010-01-04T18:43:22.651-08:00I am shockingly talented at electrical work and mo...I am shockingly talented at electrical work and most handy work (for an elementary edu major and stay at home mom). Most of the light fixtures, outlets and switches in our house (and the last 60 year old house we owned)... all done by me. <br /><br />And i am pretty talented about figuring out movies... the ones that make you go "what is going on?" I usually know. Call it intuition or discernment, or maybe I can just listen to the music and "know". But 8/10 times I know, when everyone else is still guessing. This talent has gotten rusty as I have had children... just not as sharp as I used to be! <br /><br />Good for you at getting them to waive a fee! I have been known to bat an eyelash or two to get a fee waived or get something for free.<br /><br />What am I NOT talented at? Dealing with foreign customer service people...David actually laughs at my inability to communicate with people who speak broken English.Carrie https://www.blogger.com/profile/09122331410023898418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6491078852155861424.post-23237302359682963822010-01-04T14:48:57.395-08:002010-01-04T14:48:57.395-08:00Sweet! You gotta love customer service like that!...Sweet! You gotta love customer service like that! Especially when it's quite a bit of money. I need someone with the talent of talking a police officer out of a fine--know anyone? :) Hope your trip goes well and that you and Ainsley will be fine.<br /><br />ChristinaJoshua and Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10141283697302512238noreply@blogger.com
