Exchanges and Follow Ups

My school day is hectic and I dash to the house at lunchtime. Lance and his off sider from Instant Installs call in and look at my range hood in horror. I've bought one with an external motor. Fail. I need an internal. Omg. My stress levels go through the roof. I take them into the classroom to relieve a difficult Year 10. I'm exhausted and still stressed at the end of it but there's an Asttle marking meeting yet to go. I let the trivia of writing criteria and future meeting times wash over me and. in the end  excuse myself. I need to sort my hood issue, it's keeping my cortisol levels at an all time high. Will I be able to exchange the super expensive range hood? Adam,  Noel Leeming salesman extraordinaire, is super relaxed. I breathe a huge sigh of relief. Another is ordered. Wait time a week. I call in at Lighthouse and must look woebegone because Allan organises Finlay to help install lights on Friday. Chandelier expertise. I accept the offer and leave before he changes his mind. Kahu and I spend the evening on site. Kahu shifts a mountain of dirt. Incremental progress. All you need is a shovel.
