I am getting very impatient with the progress on my apartment building. It looks like nothing is getting done, but I understand that they are doing stuff inside, electrical and plumbing. They need to put the friggin roof on. They have had to undo so much stuff that they did, because they did it wrong. Perhaps if my landlord was not a cheap b**tard and did not try to cut corners, things would move along faster. They gave us a late December probability time, but that will not happen. My only thought is that the landlord will only get paid for his loss of rent up till January and the contractors have a contract to finish by end of December, soooooo, anything past that will cost him money. I want to go home so bad. On another front, I have so much stuff to buy when I move back. I have no room for it now. Good thing I love to shop. Okay rant over.

we interrupt your regularly scheduled programing for this non-important whinefest AIRLINES AND RUDE,STUPID PEOPLE CHAP MY CHI-CHIs! My fiance' should have been landing in Louisville any minute now but instead they haven't even boarded the plane in Chicago! Oh I know it could be worse - and still could get worse. And I know that there are alot worse problems. I just felt like whining and since there isn't a whine thread I came here. And since I'm whining can I add that I know absolutely NOBODY in this area and have spoken to only 1 person face to face since I dropped him off at the airport last Thursday 5am. And that person was a rude lady at Krogers who got mad because I had no idea where hemorrhoid ointment would be if it wasn't in the Pharmacy section - I'm sorry I don't know but I guess you could try the Pharmacy sectionit's not there so where is it!!!!. Tried telling her nicely that I wasn't an employee of Krogers -I don't care if you're not an employee where is the ointment - and a little less nice but still polite that I had never had and hoped to never have a hemorrhoid so why should I know where it was!!!well go find it for me I need some. I looked at her, then walked down a couple aisles - she followed - and grabbed a bottle of super glue and gave it too her well I NEVER! so I said well maybe you SHOULD and walked out. aaaaaaaaaagggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! we now return you to your regularly scheduled programming

Funny you should say that because the news was just saying how they want flights (the number of them) reduced at O'Hare because O'Hare has so many delays (I think they said a 62% on time rate) and it messes up the whole system. What a nut at the store. Kinda funny though.... Superglue- LOL

I am so angry!!! When I went to my doctor last Wed. she gave me referrals to 2 different doctors: 1 for pain management. 2 for a colonoscopy since the last time I had one that doctor nearly killed me and I ended up in ICU. Both yesterday and today I have tried to make appts with these doctors. #1 had me on hold for 35 minutes! and I couldn't get an appt til the end of Sept. #2 I called yesterday and got their answering machine so I left my name and number. Never heard back. So today I called again and got the same thing, left another msg stating that it was the second time and still have not heard a word! I'm not so sure I would want to wait in either one of their waiting rooms. I could grow old waiting to see the doc! AAAARRRRGGGGGG! Thank you. Carry on.

Tiny gripe..... When did businesses start allowing people to harrass you with their causes??? Ok,I go to Walmart,a man walks up to my face and askes me about a raffle for his church. Another church is having a bake sale,and little girls are hawking their wares. They yell at me again as I am leaving the store. Go to Kroger... selling boiled crawfish out front. Which fyi,stinks to the heavens!!!! Someone else is giving away kittens. Awwwww,but NO!!!!! Inside the front door,a man is yelling out do I want a free Sunday paper? No,I have a Sunday paper,thank you very much. He yells at me again as I am leaving the store. At this point I want to yell at him,and not anything very nice. Ya know,I don't mind people having a table set up selling cookies or whatever,but get out of my personal space! Don't scream at me! Sheeshhhhhhh

I just posted this in facts but it wasn't enough. I have been working for the same company for 3 years now. They are in New Jersey and I'm in FL. They use Paychex for the payroll and although the office in NJ never has a problem my checks come with a payment amount of $0.00, the wrong date, the wrong amount, but more often than not don't arrive at all. I'm not broke, but I don't think I should have to pull money out of my savings because they can't find a reliable company to assure that I have my check when I'm supposed to. So....I am taking the day off in order to go to the bank and shuffle some money around....this will take about 10 minutes of course but I'm not working today.....I can't think about my job when I'm trying to cover automatic drafts for car payments and mortgages.  edited to add that they really shouldnt' be messing with me like this...my hormones are so out of wack it really doesn't take much to make me go ballistic these days.

Lost, before you get on those hormones, this is something you need to go on a rampage with your employer about. You DON'T screw with people's money. You just don't.

Lost-regardless if you are broke or not you should not have to hunt down your own paycheck. You are actually much calmer about this then I would be! I am broke and if I didn't get my check believe you me the whole world would know! Tee hee

Document it, make copies, and contact an attorney to see what exactly your legal rights are. This is Bull****.

Ginger, I sent you an email on aol. Lost: Good luck. DH and I used to work for a company that routinely bounced our checks, generally after they "forgot" to mail them for a week or two. DH was granted a $7,000 settlement for his last check. Now I found out that his SS was never paid for that time period, so I get to find all of that information to turn it into SS.

Thanks everyone. Since I haven't gotten my hormones in check yet I got angrier as the day went on. I still don't have my check and told my boss yesterday that he needed to find a better solution to getting my paycheck to me on time because I could not work this way as it's interfering in my productivity. I'm working on a huge project that he's counting on it being done at the end of the month. I just lost more than a day working on it because of this crap. Thanks for the suggestions. I'm am going to call an attorney today so that I can keep records. I also have been checking out a few jobs. I love working from home but would rather not having to worry about getting paid when I'm supposed to.

"Check" this out....no pun intended. My check always comes by mail..this time they delivered it by courier, no notice, no call, no knock at the door and they left the damn thing under my door mat.(Sorry, but I don't make it a habit to check under my doormat daily.) I only found this check today because the same courier delivered a new check this afternoon to the same spot...again without knocking at the door as I have been watching and waiting all day. So, they stopped payment on the first check, delivered a second check, but the second check is dated for next freaking Monday!!!! Now they say they will deliver one tomorrow...bull***. I have sent my boss notice that unless he fixes this problem I will be forced to find other employment. (Filled out 4 aps today online while I was "on the clock".) I am still waiting for my friend(attorney) to call. What really upsets me is my friend from Saudi is here and I was supposed to drive 2 hours to his parents house and see him tomorrow. All this before I went and got my hormones.

Would somebody please give me back my "parent to child translation dictionary". Evidentally, I don't speak the same language, cause I sure thought "pick up your clothes" meant pick up the @!#!@#@#$#@$ clothes but in reality it means "spend 4 hours doing your nails, playing videos and watching tv AND at your mother that there is nothing good to eat!"

Oh man Annie....I can so relate...the problem her is that my "child" is 20 years old!!! I do have a solution for you though. I really got tired of the ranting and raving about their rooms and realized that this was really the only thing they did that upset me. They were good kids, good grades, manners, obeyed the curfew, didn't drink or do drugs, etc. etc etc. I hated the fact that something like a messy room was driving me to insanity. So...my solution was this. Keep the door closed and do your own laundry because the only time I really had to see the room was to get the dirty clothes. They were 13 and 11 at the time. At first they kept their rooms nice and neat because they didn't want to do their own laundry after the first few attempts. After they got a bit older...they didn't care and have been doing their own laundry ever since. I'm in FL and my boss is in NJ so I couldn't drag him to the bank. The problem lies with the payroll company but he has known this is a problem for 3 years now. It doesn't happen all the time but my last 3 pay periods have been messed up in one way or another resulting in a day late or courier service to correct the problem. BTW.....I just got my 3rd check and spent 15 minutes scrutinizing it for any other mistakes. Of course now it's too late to do any good until tomorrow. I have documented all the other instances and have supplied this information with our office manager so that she can send a written a letter to the corporate office of Paychex informing them of the problem the Tampa office. I'm sure it's not just me and wonder how many other people they are doing this too so.

Lost, I have been doing that. Believe me, I don't mind not doing the laundry, but what I was seeing happen is that they started to abuse the priviledge..taking food into the rooms (and leaving it!), not choosing to listen with other matters. I think we are going to have a family meeting and sort this all out. I hope you check gets all sorted out too!

Oh my Annie. Misery loves company so just know you're not alone. I know I feel better. Let me know if you find a solution. Funny...the daughter who is moving out on Friday to go to college is pretty clean....it's the one that's living at home while she goes to college that's the worst. I did lay down the law a few weeks ago and it's been better. She's been wanting a new headboard and her room painted. I told her not until I know that she can be more responsible in keeping it clean. So she cleaned it and there..now can we paint it? Uh...no...didn't I say "Keep" it clean? This happened when I had to go in her room to retrieve the Ketchup!!
