plonq: (Grossed out)
I think I caught whatever it was [livejournal.com profile] atara had yesterday.  If I don't start feeling better soon I may bugger off for the day.

I'm feeling much better than I was about an hour ago - almost starting to feel inhuman again.  Maybe it was something I ate after all.

Our Roomba has been inoperative for the past few weeks after a minor brownout caused the charger to stop charging.  I called their toll-free customer service number today and, after pressing one button, was put through to a live agent.  Now that's the way to design a phone system.  The at the other end called up my file and said, "I see that we sent you a new Roomba recently."

"Yes," I said, "and it works wonderfully.  Now the problem is with the charger.  The light on the charger won't come on, and the light on the Roomba itself flickers when we plug it in for charging."  I was going to explain how it all started after a power brownout, but before I could get in another word she cut in.

"OK.  I'm sending you a new charger.  Your address is still..."

These people rock.  Their appliances seem to be a bit on the delicate side, but their customer service kicks ass.

Some things could only happen in West Virginia.

Fortunately she had a cell phone (the woman, not the camel).

Hmph.  We had to get an email from [livejournal.com profile] atara's mom before we knew that these action figures existed.  They're called Monsters of Winnipeg (see picture below).

Monsters of Winnipeg!

Why would we know of these things, though?  We just live here.
