1. Dad says that he is going to send me his six-year-old laptop, which would be an upgrade from the five-year-old laptop that I am currently using. Twice as much memory! Four times as much hard drive space! Much bigger screen! OK, probably twice as heavy, too. I need to figure out what sorts of things to put on the new-to-me laptop and which sorts of things to keep on the old laptop. Maybe the six-year-old laptop should replace my eight-year-old desktop computer? Why do I think I need three computers?

  2. Normally I hate talking on the phone, but it is easier for me to order cat food over the phone than to do it online. It all started out because Sophie (the barfy cat) eats prescription food (and Whole Foods macaroni and cheese and anything else that she can steal from you), and I could not figure out how to use a paper prescription to order prescription food online, so I called their 24/7 toll-free number, and a very friendly person helped me buy cat food. But time has passed, and now the cat needs more food. And I never set up a username and password for the site, so I just called them on the phone, and they still had everything on file, and the cat food will be here before the laptop.

  3. Shortly after 3pm today I called the drug company and spoke to their very friendly customer service rep, D. And D tells me that the drug company sent my prescription to the specialty pharmacy on June 28. D also gave me the patient hotline number for the specialty pharmacy, and if I don’t hear from them by tomorrow morning, I will call them to get an update on the status of my file AND WHEN ARE THEY GOING TO MAIL ME MY FREAKIN’ MEDICINE?
