Less Than Expected

Lacking anything better to do at work, I shopped on the Internet. We had more nurses than patients tonight.

Looking through comforter sets, I found some customer reviews posted on some of the sites. One person complained that although her duvet was lovely to look at, it was very thin. In fact, it was almost as thin as the sheets. She suggested putting a comforter under the duvet for warmth.

I have a better idea. How about putting the comforter inside of the duvet? A duvet is only as thick as the comforter that one stuffs inside.

Another person complained that the shams did not come stuffed. I could be wrong on this, but it's my understanding that if it comes already stuffed, it's called a pillow. If it needs to be stuffed, it's a sham. For businesses that believe the customer is always right, this must be frustrating.

On the subject of not getting what is expected, I finally got around to opening the care package my mom sent home with me after Thanksgiving. The foil contained nothing but turkey skin and small bits of dark meat. I was sad because I figured my mom had completely lost her mind. In her right mind, she would never give me something like that to eat.

There was a second container that appeared to hold the rest of the leftovers, like stuffing and potatoes. Inside there was sliced turkey breast. My mom hadn't lost her mind after all. She had sent home a treat for the dogs.
