Calenders and Service

Today I went to Office Depot, one of my favourite stores ( hey, I live in the country, there's not a lot out here ) to buy my next years calenders. One large plastic year long thing that I put up to write down the next years schedule and keep track of where the Boss will be when and one for the desk to keep track of daily appointments.

The large year long one was $15 , a little steep , but, well, I need it and it IS plastic, what the heck.

The desk calender was $25.

Now, I am talking about your basic , plain, month by month, tear it off , paper calender. Not coloured. No Cartoon charecters. No inspiring sayings. No eagle picutres. No gold inlay on leather.

Just PLAIN.

I ask the nice Office Depot Person " Can this be right ???? Possibly an error? " No, says she, that's right. " Doesn't this seem a LITTLE steep? " asks I

Yes...Says she. Then tells me , in a sort of conspiritory way, that Office Depot has a version for $2.99.

Sign me up I say, and she takes me to the apparently Secret Calender Area , in another part of the store, and Yup, there they are. $2.99.

It is the same calender. Except for a very small Office Dept Logo in one corner.

$2.99. Or $25. Go figure. Same thing.

Thought I would share.

On another note, when I picked Prius up from the dealer ( it was getting it's Detailing ) I asked about getting the little sticker I have always had which tells one when it wil need a Service, oil or whatnot. The dealers looked at me sadly and I said..Oh. You are trying to tell me the Car will let me know. It talks.

Yes, they said.....

Live and learn,
