I don't handle high temperatures very well, yesterday was 33*C with a hot wind. Even my eyes got windburn waiting around at bus stops. <br /><br />Elisabeth; I'm feeling much better about things today, pretty much back on an even keel now.<br /><br />R.H. do you have calming techniques in place? I'll check Copperwitch a bit later.<br /><br />Delores; thank you.<br /><br />Happy Elf Mom; I'll sell them to someone somehow. I'm not going anywhere near that store ever.<br /><br />Rubye Jack; it was the MANAGER. The sales assistants are girls and they're very nice.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2664393407924733681.post-17317906172398282042011-10-20T04:23:31.513+10:302011-10-20T04:23:31.513+10:30I see this as no big deal River.

My guess is the sales clerk set you off by saying he couldn't be doing this all the time, which is rather belittling. I don't like seeing anger in myself and so understand, but we all do it at times.Rubye Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02511953177053448513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2664393407924733681.post-29176457200476436382011-10-20T02:41:16.694+10:302011-10-20T02:41:16.694+10:30I still don't see why they can't take this...I still don't see why they can't take this back if it doesn't fit. Then the store manager will not have to deal with you any more. I do wonder if the reason you were treated so poorly in the first place weren't the fact that you were in store uniform (not the mink coat and designer getup of their usual clientele?). Then when you lost it, well, he knows you don't have a bunch of money so he can berate the poor customer who isn't gonna buy a ton of stuff anyway.<br /><br />No, really. I'm not saying it's ok to blow up, but I can't say you were treated well, either.<br /><br />Do forgive yourself. Then... see if there is a way to return these shades.Happy Elf Mom (Christine)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15047347624037697311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2664393407924733681.post-58912090004095529292011-10-19T23:09:04.259+10:302011-10-19T23:09:04.259+10:30Good heavens girl, you are only human.

I'll settle for half of what I paid for them. <br /><br />EC; I hope that does negate any bad karma, I've had too many weeks of poor decisions lately. <br /><br />Kimmie; I don't like what I've heard about ebay. I'll try a local notice board as soon as I find one. <br /><br />Andrew; there has been a bit of stress lately. I didn't want to play around too much with the light fittings in case I broke something. I did try to screw the black parts out a bit further, but they wouldn't turn at all. They've probably been in that position for years. But I have plastic shades up there now so don't need to try and adjust the fittings.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2664393407924733681.post-91429691123449049772011-10-19T19:54:59.822+10:302011-10-19T19:54:59.822+10:30You were stressed by something more than just the ...You were stressed by something more than just the lights shades at the time I am guessing. I am trying to remember. I think in behind where the light globe fits is another screw ring to adjust how much thread sticks out for the shade holding ring.
