Ok, so this is all about customer service and what a company should do. Back in 2002 or 2003 I purchased 3 Sequel bookcases from RoomAndBoard.com. When I moved to Logan from Oakland, one of the shelf pegs was lost. I really should have called Room and Board then, but somehow managed to not do… Continue Reading I love Room and Board (Furniture)
…I didn’t have to go anywhere on Sunday, so my GPS sat turned off in my car. Boy was it confused when I got in the car to drive to work on Monday. I decided to take a slightly different route (less pot-holes and bumps) but more out of the way. You woulda thought I… Continue Reading It musta been Monday…
Ok, so this was pointed out to me earlier. I’d like to say it’s an April Fool’s joke, but the article was published on March 12. And it’s buried deep down in a newspaper website. Let’s tax caffeine, legislator argues. Reading some of the comments, they make much better points, if you want to raise… Continue Reading April Fool’s? Not…

Boston–everything I’ve always heard is don’t drive in Boston, never, ever. Hrm. I live here now,… Continue Reading Where shall we go today? Or, Brandon’s experiences with his GPS
I went to a local mall (the Burlington Mall) on Saturday. I was really surprised to see just how busy it was. The parking lot, from what I saw while parking and what I saw driving past on the highway, seemed to be completely full. Wait, what day is it? Christmas? No…it’s March. Really, the… Continue Reading Recession? What Recession?
So, it looks like Monday’s (based on a sample size of 2) are my day to go shopping at Trader Joe’s. That combined with a shopping experience later in the day led to this post title of “Night and Day”. For those of you that don’t know, Trader Joe’s is a “neighborhood grocery store” is… Continue Reading Night and Day
