Hester Posted June 11, 2007 Posted June 11, 2007 Quite well! And all is quiet on both construction fronts today (although neither job is finished). Looking forward to dinner out with friends tonight, on a breezy patio. Pad Thai and Corona, here I come!

BriarRose Kildare Posted June 11, 2007 Posted June 11, 2007 A bit tired, but I feel great. Got to go to a French and Indian Re-enactment on Saturday. Had a Wonderful time. And today I got to have lunch with a very good friend as well as spending time with my little guy.

BriarRose Kildare Posted June 14, 2007 Posted June 14, 2007 A bit frustrated today....we are trying to break our toddler of both the bottle and his binki. Oui, what a temper he does have too.

The Doctor Posted June 14, 2007 Posted June 14, 2007 Incredibly pissed off at one of my wife's doctors. Yo ho ho! Or does nobody actually say that?
Red-Handed Jill Posted June 14, 2007 Posted June 14, 2007 Frustrated! I ordered a cannon from Hern Iron Works for Jack's birthday and was assured I'd see it by the end of May. Then it was going to ship at the end of May. Then it was going to ship at the end of last week. It ended up being shipped the beginning of this week and I was assured by UPS that I'd see it today. I just found out that it's not going to be delivered until tomorrow. AAAAGH!!!!!!! This is the eleventh hour. That cannon was supposed to be featured in a sea battle this weekend and we're leaving tomorrow morning. Not to mention that Jack's birthday has come and gone. I now have to race down to the Sunnyvale way station once it gets there (couple of hours drive) and convince them to give me that cannon. I'm so tempted to bring a boarding axe... So the moral of the story is, if something needs to be manufactured to arrive at a certain time, add at least a couple of weeks to the longest time you think it will take them and DON'T USE UPS TO SHIP IT!!!
Iron Bess Posted June 14, 2007 Posted June 14, 2007 (Patting you on the back...) Well, you may not realize it but your looking at the remains of what was once a very handsome woman!
Red-Handed Jill Posted June 14, 2007 Posted June 14, 2007 Sigh... Looks like I'm not going to get that cannon in time after all. It must be my fault - I mustn't have been convincing enough when I emphasized that today was REALLY AND TRULY the eleventh hour. Is there a class I can take to teach me to be more convincing, so when I say I need something absolutely by a certain day that they actually take me at my word and get it done? I tend to be patient and nice in these situations. Is that the problem? Should I be demanding and bitchy? The cannon is in Sparks, Nevada. It's going to take at least five hours to get to Sunnyvale (probably more like six or seven) and that's once it has actually left Sparks, which it hasn't. And the Sunnyvale office closes at 5:30. So I'm screwed. And call me middle-aged, but I do remember a time when you ordered something and was told that it would arrive at a certain time - and it actually arrived then! What a concept!
Capt. Sterling Posted June 14, 2007 Posted June 14, 2007 And call me middle-aged, but I do remember a time when you ordered something and was told that it would arrive at a certain time - and it actually arrived then! What a concept! Ah the good old days... now you need to lie and tell them you need it two months prior to the actual date and they still screw it up! Sorry to hear your surprise just isn't going to go as planned... at least print out a picture of what's coming, unfortunately later than sooner.

Iron Bess Posted June 14, 2007 Posted June 14, 2007 SWEET!!!!! Well, you may not realize it but your looking at the remains of what was once a very handsome woman!
Red-Handed Jill Posted June 14, 2007 Posted June 14, 2007 Now if only I can get the damned thing here!
BriarRose Kildare Posted June 14, 2007 Posted June 14, 2007 Did you talk to any one at UPS...Like a supervisor....sorry there is a time to be nice and there is a time to be nasty. I would be losing it totallly if I were in your shoes right now. I am sorry for your troubles. And yes, there was a time when something was said it would be there then it would be delivered on time. You have remembered correctly. Good Luck and I hope things work out for you.

Red-Handed Jill Posted June 14, 2007 Posted June 14, 2007 Yes I did, but the caliber of employees at UPS isn't what it used to be. They could give me no useful information and I've been talking to them for two days! And they know I was at their mercy - if I had been nasty, they'd probably have "lost" my package somewhere.

And they know I was at their mercy - if I had been nasty, they'd probably have "lost" my package somewhere. or damaged it... Back in NY, we actually had a UPS man, who picked up and delivered at our work place, who bragged about the things he wrecked for the customers he did not like... sad really "I being shot through the left cheek, the bullet striking away great part of my upper jaw, and several teeth which dropt down the deck where I fell...

The Doctor Posted June 15, 2007 Posted June 15, 2007 Gone from pissed to angry. Time to fire a doctor. Yo ho ho! Or does nobody actually say that?
Cheeky Actress Posted June 15, 2007 Posted June 15, 2007 Mad_Jack, I do hope you find a 'better alternative' to what you and your wife have right now regarding health care and medical support. You must be going through a some tough times. I pray that they can only get better. Cheeky Member of "The Forsaken"
