1896 :: First Known Use of the term 'CHEAPSKATE'

I rolled into work on Saturday morning
and finished up organizing  what I had to
on the presentation for Sidney and Rebecca..

Well....here they come......
for the record; 
THEY NEVER LOOKED THIS GOOD IN THEIR LIFE
(and that is not saying much)
Sidney proceeds to tell me that he can no longer do business with the company that I work for because he found a price discrepancy on two of the pieces that I had specified for their new (winter) home 
at 'FURNITURE-LAND' in N.C..   

I said;
" It is our company's policy to price match anything that you find for less money."
He told me that he couldn't check each piece that he was going to purchase.
I am wondering WHY 
would he drive all the way down (30 minutes) to tell me this????
I asked him to please speak with Laura Berger, 
my boss and the owner of the store.
So.... we all marched into Laura's office, I put their folder on Laura's desk.

He started off by telling Laura that my work was magnificent 
And that I had been wonderful....
then he proceeded to tell Laura the same thing, 
that he had found some price differences.
She and he (with his wife by his side and silent) went on and on....
blah blah blah.
about the free interior design services that we offer to our customers,
 and overhead, and the fact that we are right here if anything should go wrong with an item that is purchased... etc, etc.
You can be sure FURNITURE LAND will not be there to hold their hands if anything should go wrong.
Laura was  wonderful and gracious as one could be with an anus like this.
He proceeded to tell her to cancel what he ordered.
Laura tried to shame him into keeping some of it 
because of all my work...but, to no avail.
I felt sick and depressed.
What is wrong with people???
I was so blown away by this jerk and his wife.
Is it possible 
that I am an ASS MAGNET ?
Or is it my Karma?
I ran around all day saying;
"I need a karma cleansing!!!"

Needless to say...
I have enrolled in a class. 
I will be away from my blog 
for a 3 day crash course on
'karma cleansing.'

XXX's & love to my buds.
i certainly need you, don't i?
