Comments on: In My Experience… http://www.patricksays.net/2008/05/02/in-my-experience/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=in-my-experience A blog about me. That's why my name is in the title. Wed, 08 Feb 2012 00:55:18 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Wendy http://www.patricksays.net/2008/05/02/in-my-experience/#comment-21971 Wendy Tue, 06 May 2008 18:48:22 +0000 http://www.patricksays.net/?p=1052#comment-21971 I was sorely tempted last week to use that. A former co-worker lent us a crib. We had arranged to drop it back off to them earlier this year, but those plans fell through. We determined that there was no need for it back at the co-workers house so an indefinite loan period was okayed (agreeing that it could be next January when we could get it to them). You see, they now live 200 miles away. So, when I got a very nasty email and phone call saying they needed it ASAP (like that weekend, and this was a Friday) I was pretty ticked. Not that they needed it for themselves...noooooo...a friend of theirs was having their baby and they are now loaning it to her. NOT - MY - PROBLEM. Turns out, though, I'm too nice and my husband drove it all the way there for them the following week. You wouldn't believe the nastiness I had to deal with though and all because it took us a few days to rearrange OUR lives to accommodate THEM. I was sorely tempted last week to use that.
