Aks, when I worked as a CSR, I always made sure I returned a customer's call, even if it was to let them know that I didn't have an answer yet, but I was working on it. I found it made my life easier because then the customer wasn't calling back to yell at me for not calling him/her back! :P
Sometimes, SQ, it would be nice to trade places with somebody else, wouldn't it? But then, I guess we'd have THEIR problems instead of ours. Sometimes, ours aren't so bad in comparison. Hang in there, lady.
How true that is! I provided service and repair over the years that I was working and always called or notified them of the delays that I'd encounter, or the reason for the repair failure. They always seemed happy to know what the delays were and why.
When I return this afternoon I'll have to make contact again with them and see where this issue is at.
Need to vent...
Just had a week of staycation because times are tight, I'm struggling to keep with things and I don't believe in living beyond my means. All of which is ok, but I need to vent because I'm tired of listening to a co-worker brag on scamming the system. They stopped paying bills and used the cash to buy an expensive piece of jewelry, under the table, then declared bankruptcy. Applied for and received emergency assistance locally, yet is spending $800 on a hotel for a long weekend in a well known vacation spot. Sometimes I wonder why I still play by the rules...
Because you have to look at yourself in the mirror in the mornings. That is just what is "right" for you. Don't worry about someone else. They will get what they deserve eventually.
I was feeling relieved as my neighbors go on vacation. They are questionable at best. But they left a load of junk out in front of our houses at the property line they left a pile of junk that is an eye-soar. I hope the city does not think I put that out there.

How is it that, on occasion, someone you love very much and for whom you'd lay down your life can just annoy the heck out of you just by being? I can tell that, no matter what the poor guy does today, my husband is going to tick me off. Something tells me one of us needs a quick attitude adjustment and, if I look in the mirror, I'll see who it is. Maybe if I get going on some housework, I'll manage to change my tune. The good news is he went off on an errand, so he's out of harm's way for a little while anyway.

On those days, I used to say the Biotch Fairy had visited me in my sleep and sprinkled nasty attitude dust all over me. Nobody breathe too loudly in my general area!!

Good luck. Every once in awhile I've woken up in a bad mood. It's rare but it happens Anyway, I usually have a "talk" with myself and no I don't answer, lol. In my head I go over the many good and wonderful things in my life...then I give myself a mental smack upside the head for being moody.(really I have no right to be moody) It usually helps to put it all into perspective.

Thank you, light shimmer and Lisa. I'm feeling much better now. I really wasn't in a bad mood, so I don't know why I felt like pulling a Nightmare on Elm Street on my poor hubby. Sometimes it just pays to stay out of each other's way, I guess. I went shopping by myself after doing some housework and that seemed to fix the problem for some reason. Shopping...woman's cure-all, right after chocolate!
I will be venting about the weather for several weeks. I am sure it will get old fast, but I gotta... It's so flipping hot and I need to move to Alaska. My problem is about the time I make my mind up winter is close at hand and we have great winters that make all the rest of the bs... smaller

As horrible as your summers are in AZ, I doubt that you would enjoy Alaska with the extreme cold temperatures and extended dark hours during winters ... Hang in there my friend ... How's about moving to CaliFUNia ... We rarely get triple digit weather in my neck of woods.
