 Waiting for the dishwasher to arrive. The story so far. 5 weeks ago, the dishwasher broke. We called the insurance co. They sent out a repairman, who said it would take so much to fix it, better to replace it. We called the ins co. back. They said they would send a new one. 2 weeks pass. Call ins co. again. They said call delevery co. Call delevry co. THey said they've never heard of us, call the isn co. Call the ins co. They said they would re-send the order. 2 more weeks. Call delevery co. "Oh", they say, "we need an appointment to deliever". Wait another week. Today, waiting for dishwasher to arrive. Tomorrow, call ins co. to get the first company to install dishwasher. Ahhrrg!
