leaving on a jet plane
i bought my plane tickets to alaska just a bit ago.
last time i checked they were $248. now they dropped 14 dollars to $234.
not knowing what the price will be like in a few months, i thought that was a decent enough drop to pounce on.
so i'm going to alaska in july whether i'm digging shit up or not.
i get to apply for going up there in 1 month and 1 day.
should be good times.
i got my shit back from the scuba shop yesterday. however, i think they're just out to screw me over.
when i first took my stuff in, i just took the regulator (the hose/breathing part). they ask me, 'where's your BC?' (the vest part that controls bouyancy and keeps the tank attached to your back).
'oh, i left it at home.'
'we need to check stuff out on that too.'
ok, fine, so i brought it in the next day.
the month goes by and i pick it up.
i get the regulator and they charge me $65 for labor plus parts.
cool.
then i'm like, 'oh, i also had a BC.'
so she digs that out and throws on another $65 for labor on that.
fine. getting spendy, but its better to be safe than dead.
but i get to looking at the receipt and it seems that other than look at the BC when i first brought it in, they didn't do jackshit to it the whole month it was there.
it's like they just charged me for storage while they worked on my regulator.
that's just ass, cuz i wasn't going to bring it in in the first place, then they push me to do it just so they can throw another $65 on my bill!?!
when i first dropped it off too, she quoted me at about $95.
what the hell, you do this all the time and you can't even quote me right?
it's a damn good thing they're so friendly. (she remembers my name everytime i come in, even from that time from when i got certified to when i came back in 9 months later).
but i may try a different store that isn't struggling to keep afloat (which may be their problem). it's called 5th dimension, and it's over in issaquah.
i might check it out one of these days when i get a day off.
that didn't happen this week, so maybe i'll have to wait til next week.
oh. i also got my book today that i ordered online!
The Third Chimpanzee by Jared Diamond.
i think when i'm done my sister and i are going to trade for his other book, Collapse.
good times.
