Cast your minds back to November. Do you remember when I had my dog house built? When I went to the hardware store and confused feet and metres and ended up with huge amounts of lamina for the roof? Do you remember how I went back to the hardware store and miraculously got my money back and admitted I had made the mistake etc?
Well.. my friends are making me a fence on Saturday and so I had to go back to the said hardware store to buy the wire, staples, nails etc. I thought it would be fine - 5 months later noone would remember me! Yeah right!
So in I went after school - yet again in my school t-shirt. I asked about the wire, prices etc, checked it was in fact what I wanted. Then the boss came over to me and greeted me like his long lost friend - and checked my measurements!!! I was so embarrassed, yet highly amused at the same time!! Jaime had had the forethought of sending me with the measurements in feet, metres and yards - to cover all eventualities!! I then was still slightly unsure this was in fact the wire I was thinking of and so I was taken into the back yard and into the bodega to look at it!! V funny. So, the boss remembered me..and apparently so did all the staff as I didn't have to describe where I lived to them - they knew!!! I really do make a fool of myself in these places...yet at the same time everyone loves to come and help me so it can't be too bad!!!
Love it.
Later this week I have to go to the wood yard to buy the wood I need - could be equally amusing.....
