Ginger, wanna yell at my trash company for me???

Wednesday morning I called and requested a large item pick up for the old water heater Darren finally hauled out of the garage. They said to have it sitting on the curb by 6am yesterday morning and it'd be picked up between then and 6pm.

9pm last night we notice its still sitting there. So all day today I've been trying to get ahold of them and for most of the day have gotten nothing but a busy signal.

Finally got someone to answer and explained that it should have been picked up yesterday. She checks her computer and says "oh, yeah it should have. And you're telling me no one picked it up yesterday?" I said nope, no one picked it up, it's still sitting on the curb. She checks the computer again and says "So it's still on the curb?" Sigh..yes. she goes through the computer checking to see if any notations why it wasn't picked up then tells me that she'll send someone out. Today I said? Maybe, it's kind of late in the day. As she's about to hang up, she asked me once again if it was sitting on the curb. No lady, it got up and walked away in the three minutes since the last time you asked me. ARGHHH.

LOL, the really sucky part is, when I ran to the store and came back awhile ago, I saw the city truck going down the street, so I know next week I'm going to get a warning about having the damn thing sitting on the curb!

I need to complain about my boss who left today to start a new job in a new city, without ever saying good-bye to me. I stopped in his office twice when he wasn't there, but he didn't even pick up the phone to say so long. Six months ago he asked if I would go with him when he left, but now I don't even get a good-bye. Kind of puts the last two years of busting my ass working for him in perspective. Cold day in hell before I do that for the new guy.

Wargod, call the city manager and talk to his/her secretary if you cannot speak directly to him/her. Give them the details of what happened. You have a right to be treated fairly and not be feeling guilty for someone else's failure to do their job.

Prisoner6, that s*cks and what a blow after working so hard, but remember the new person is not the same person as the old.

Ok, I'm even madder now. I got a phone call not too long after I finally got ahold of them. This was someone else who told me yesterday they were backed up and they'd be out this afternoon. I could have jumped through the phone and strangled her when she asked me if it was still sitting on the curb! Instead I told her thanks and waited.

It's after 8pm and they never showed up again. That means we're going to have to drag the damn thing back in the garage and leave it there til at least Wednesday night (and knowing Darren it'll be weeks before I'll manage to get him to put it back out on the curb, lol!)

Ack, Prisoner, I'm so sorry. That was rather rude of your old boss. After working for someone for so long you'd expect at least a "thanks" and good bye!

War, you should lookup their helpdesk email, and EMAIL SPAM them. Sign them up for anything and everything.

LOL Eeyore, you are bad! My luck though they'd figure out it was me and send me an email asking if it was still sitting on the curb!

The really hard part is was supposed to be a friend as well as a boss. I've worked for seven different people (including an empty position...) in the 11 years I've been at the College, and he was the first one who I thought "got it." I can't even explain what I mean by that. He got what I could, what the College needed, how to rally some pretty jaded people into doing some pretty amazing work. Things had been rough between us for the last few months, but we went out for drinks a couple of weeks ago, shared some tears, and I thought got things straightened out. But then he left and didn't say good-bye. So not only am I now facing working for person number eight (who, from all indications will be some political hack appointment -- the new dean at the College is a 67-year-old retired school superintendent who just happens to be the brother-in-law of one of our trustees), I've lost someone who I thought was a good friend, and I wasn't even able to say goodbye to him. That just hurts.

P6 I'd email this person and tell them how I feel and wish them luck. By you taking the high road they MAY feel a bit guilty about leaving you high and dry. Maybe they were so caught up in their own crud that they inadvertantly neglected the fairtheewells. So it gives them a chance to make things right. Or maybe this person is just a poop.

Well, I dropped by his house this afternoon after seeing The Devil Wears Prada, and all is as well as it can be. I told him I wasn't going to let him leave town without saying good-bye to me. He was busy packing up a u-haul with things the movers won't or shouldn't move, but the first thing he said was, "I'm all sweaty, but I'm going to give you a hug anyway." So things are as OK as they can be when someone important to you leaves. I wish I thought we'd keep in touch, but I really don't. At least he's honest and hasn't pretended he would.

Ok here goes..Some of you might remember me waaa waaaing about our nasty neighbors. They got evicted on Sat. and now the woman seems to think it's all my fault. About a month I was working and she went outside the Post Office to her car and started calling me filty names. 2 weeks ago, she drove by and did the same thing, Today, she and I both pulled up at the same time at an intersection and she called me a f****** B****.
Yesterday evening, my DH took my car over to talk to a friend of his and in the 15 minutes he was gone, someone poured a beer in the seat of his pick-up and down the outside of the door. My DH has been clean and sober for 23 years and this made him very angry.
This woman is scaring me, I afraid to think of what she might do next? I'm considering getting an Ex Parte against her. Any other suggestions?

Believe me, nothing would please me more, even though I've never hit another person. Since I work for the Postal Service, I'm afraid she might try to dream up something to get me in trouble. So can't do anything to jepardize my job.

No authority on these matters, but I have been watching a lot of court tv lately

Definitely let the authorities (manager if you are in an apartment, police or justice of the peace) know this is happening. Document it too in case it ends up even worse and you have to go to court or something. Write down times, dates, places or get it on film if possible, when you are not in a moving car that is. If anyone else witnesses something get a statement from them, signed or course.

You didn't say what you do when it happens, other than get scared or angry. Guess they haven't moved yet or did move into the same area?

My first thought too, but not the maturist one.

What she is doing may be considered harrassment, document EVERYTHING with a date and time.

Just got off the phone with the Local Police, he advised me to go to Co. Courthouse tomorrow and file an Ex Parte on her. I'm to be explicit with details when I talk to the judge. When she gets served with this, she won't even be able to come into the PO the days I work to pick up her mail. Also she won't be able to have any of her *meth head* friends pass along messages from her. So feeling a bit better now. I've never had to do anything like this in all my 51 years, but I'm pissed enough to follow through.

Returned from my jaunt to the courthouse. Filled out numerous forms in detail about what's been going on with this nutjob. I now have in my little hands a temp order of protection. Had to stand before the Judge and swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth so help me God. This woman may NOT abuse, threaten to abuse, stalk, molest or disturb the peace wherever I may be found. She cannot communicate in any manner or through any medium.
I have to appear before another Judge the 28th of this month to make it the "real" one. I found online this morning, last year, she got 12 days in jail for attacking a Police Officer, then 4 more days a few months later for contempt of court. Damn....I'm sure glad this woman came into my life. NOT!

Just remember to watch your back. She sounds dangerous and has no respect for authority. I sure hope they make her leave you alone.

I don't know if they've served her with the papers as of yet, but DH and I had been gone all evening and he went to gas up his truck. Lo and Behold..there she was, she saw it was him and took off like her butt was on fire! So maybe that's a good sign.
I also went out and bought a top of the line motion detector light to put on our garage. That might deter her from sending her son over to do things to our vehicles.

The county commissioners in my area are raising our taxes 10x! Yes, that's ten times! My area is getting the highest rate hike in the county. The other areas of the county are also getting higher rate hikes, but they are not as high as us. I'm going to a meeting tonight with the county commissioners. (Myself and a few hundred other people) They had to reschedule the meeting to a bigger location because of the crowds the last time...grrrrrrrrr
