In Neon Across My Forehead

So I just spent $6500 today that I don't really have. And although Joe (a.k.a. gay boyfriend) and another friend of mine tend to think I have lost my mind, I don't regret my decision.

Shortly after I moved in, I noticed that the quality of my water sucks. I mean every time I ran the faucet this horrible odor emanated from it. So when I got a call from this person asking to run a hard water test on my water, I immediately agreed.

Now I wouldn't be myself if I didn't give the salesman a hard time. He was supposed to come over last night, but I was sooo tired and not feeling too good. Plus I was extremely irritated that fucking Dish Network stood me up. I had an appointment to have my satelite system installed yet they never showed or called. Wasted my day off waiting around for them bastards! I called and re-scheduled my appointment. Have to wait another week for them to come out! And they better show too!

Anyway, so this salesman does his whole spiel and I'm not shocked by the test results of my water, nor do I give him any slack in his sales technique. I have to say though that he was a pretty cool guy and took everything I threw at him in stride. So I opted for this $6500 soft water system. The company is called RainSoft and it comes with a limited lifetime guaranty - whatever the fuck that means. The Brady Bunch mom is their spokesperson and supposedly they have a great business reputation.

Of course, when I told Joe (a.k.a. gay boyfriend) about my new purchase his response was quite...supportive. "Do you have FUCK ME printed in neon across your forehead? I got the soft water system for my house for about $650 at Sears." Although that may be true, it doesn't make me feel bad about my purchase.

They are scheduled to come out tomorrow to install my new soft water system. Of course I have no idea how exactly I am going to pay for it. I'll figure something out though. It's supposedly a tax write off too so I guess that's a plus. Lord knows I need all the tax breaks I can get!
