The weekend theme feels like "almost, but not quite." I'd like to see the positives, but right now, the negatives are bugging me.
Saturday I walked Rover uptown to run errands. We discovered the uptown Home Hardware likes dogs. They really like dogs. Treat jar and all that. And I got more coffee at 10,000 Villages, but I bought ground instead of bean. So I have to go back.
Sunday afternoon I went to Canadian Tire to replace the windshield-wiper I just bought a month ago (doesn't wipe the middle of the driver's side). Which was at least successful, but I wish it had worked the first time.
Then to Staples to replace my (creaky, small) filing-cabinet with a sturdier one. This took two trips: I got the first one home, muscled it into the house, unwrapped it, and found it looked like had been dropped from a fairly significant height. It slanted about 10 degrees. So I took most of the cardboard, muscled it back into the car, drove back, and got a replacement. The guy who helped seemed a bit nonplussed that I wanted to open the second one in the store. And my inspection wasn't thorough enough, because I got that one home, took off the rest of the cardboard, and a top corner is crushed. Unlike the last one, it's cosmetic not structural (though wow does that corner look ugly). I think two hours is enough of my time spent driving back and forth to staples, but I will call the store and give them the benefit of my displeasure.

And hey, I realize that dan's going to want to go home early tonight. /and/ the sun sets half an hour later than the beginning of the month, so I might be able to get uptown and back before dark.
(no, I'm really not so good at being grumpy for long.)

Which is fortunately seldom.

Filing cabinets should be steel monsters. You might need to go to a decent office furniture store.

I think you thought I kept the severely-structurally-unsound one. I brought that one back.
