8am - 5pm

That's how long I must stay not just trapped in the house but by the phone waiting for the Sears repairman to come. Once, I had to "use the facilities," missed the we-are-coming phone call and had my appointment pre-emptively cancelled.

And of course, if I wait to vigilantly by the phone I will be the last repair stop on the man's list. Ugh! I do not (heart) Sears right now.
