Why is it so hard for people to just do their jobs?...it's no wonder we ship everything overseas.
Delivery...specified small truck with liftgate...what show up...53 ft tractor trailer, no lift gate, little scrawny guy. Say right on the order "Small truck with liftgate"...I don't get it!
Tape...got special cloth backed tape...works great...ordered same stuff...comes in like cheap flea market/dollar store duct tape....I don't get it....WHY CHANGE A GOOD THING? Isn't like this stuff is cheap either like 15.00 a roll...hello!!!
ok I'm finished for the moment...it's not even 8:00 here.

well, even though they are trying to destroy us, we can't have any of that postal stuff. we must maintain control. and by the same token, in our efforts to make this a better world, we sometimes have to complain. so make notes in or on simple calendar. just a word or two to remind you of the story. and then if it comes to it ... "how often did this happen ?" "lots of times !" as against "how often did this happen ?" " well, let me refer to my calendar notes ..." nevertheless, if you want to know how much this is not about you, just listen to the pols who put the bonus language into the bill now call for the heads of the people who got those bonuses. i mean come on, Dodd and Frank  they are trying to kill us, Smoke. but we will not let them. but we can't go postal and kill them first, we must find another way. |

and let me remind you, dear Smoke, that the premium you get for working around all those bastards is that they have 20K credit card debt, while you pay for your truck, cash money.
pride. not sinful pride, but honest pride. you can take honest pride in what you do.
thanks,

I wont even get started on this one. I dont know how contractors or subs stay in business. I cant even begin to tell you how many people dont even bother to call to say they wont be showing up. Had one that kept blowing us off, wouldnt answer his phone...it was a real pain. So I had Jack call him from a different, one that wouldnt show our name on the caller ID, what do you know, he answered...then hung up on us.
I'll stop there.

wednesday:
three days pills left of long term med, doc did blood work in last month, no question about change in prescription.
call pharm for refil.
told script expired.
pharm says: ez, we'll call doc to fax over new script.
saturday:
go to pharm.
no pills.
pharm says doc did not return the call.
so either
pharm did not make the call
OR
doc did not return the call.
ok, ok, it's true. own fault. everybody knows better than to trust doc or pharmacist.

N tells me that it was the doc's office.
I am one of the blessed who has no script meds.
