dude, where’s my laundry?

Posted in Everyday Life | No Comments »

Laundromats are probably one of the best businesses to have when you are in the city.  Nobody hardly has time to do their own laundry anymore… That population includes me, the medical intern.  Sometimes I have the advantage of sending my laundry home so that I don’t have to spend at all.  But this week I had to send my laundry to the laundry shop just one door away from my building.  I sent 2 or 3 pairs of my uniform there last Friday, and then they promised to DELIVER my laundry by Saturday afternoon.  So that it won’t cause any delay, I PAID for the cost of laundry.  I was not home that Saturday because I was on 24 hour duty.  I come home on Sunday, and my laundry still isn’t in.  I hardly cared because I was so tired and so I gave them a day to figure out what they forgot.  Monday came, today is another holiday, and so I didn’t need my uniforms yet, which, have not yet arrived.  I tell my roommate to remind the laundry people to deliver it by this afternoon.  And so I go out with an old friend, and returned 11 pm at night, to discover that the uniforms have not yet been delivered.  I now have to spend an hour to wash my 1 blouse left for my 24 hour duty tomorrow.

I am usually very patient and do not complain much.  But let me tell you that the moment I get home on Wednesday, they are going to feel my wrath!!!
