Marital Bliss or Corporate Chaos?
It was the night of my wedding reception and I could not have been happier. I had just married the most wonderful person and was about to start my life with him. Not to mention, when people get married, everyone they know wants to give them free stuff from an array of corporate stores. I was exceptionally excited to open all the gifts and see how they would fit into my new home. After getting everything unwrapped, and put in its place, reality set in.
The next morning I went to wash my hands, using my new crystal soap dispenser to aid me in this process. Mammoth amounts of soap began coming out of the dispenser when I had pushed on the nozzle; the dispenser had broken and was now soap leaking everywhere! I immediately grabbed the new, fluffy towel that was hanging on the rack. I cleaned all of the soap up and threw the towel in the washer with some other dirty things. Later, when I went to go and move the dirty laundry from the washer to the dryer, my towel had looked like it had been eaten and was now in shreds (so much for quality). Needing a break from the tumultuous day, I laid down on my bed, hoping to get a well deserved nap. When I went to lay my head down I noticed one of the decorative pillows had a tear in it (a day later, cotton was spewing out of it). There seemed to be no relief from the gifts we had been given.
Needless to say, I ended up turning back to corporate America to replace all of the things that it had cost me in the first place. There seemed to be no escape from this vicious cycle.
