(I don't drink alcohol or smoke, but I do drink a lot of coffee. However, I take my supplement at night and drink the coffee in the morning. So who knows.)

The answer to your question is no, I don't speak Italian, but from a sprinkling of other languages and some creative use of online translators I think it says:

It feels terrible, I have the flu! Me! I want to die! I hate being this sick! You really should have seen it!

But I could be completely and utterly wrong.

Yey! I really couldn't make any sense of the last bit, I'm glad you sorted it all out! Not any good at Dutch are you? A friend of mine often Facebooks in Dutch and the online translators make very little sense of it!

Anyone a paypal user?

I tried to make a $5 payment to someone with paypal today, but I was never sent a receipt and the person I sent the money to didn't receive it (and I trust them on that). If I look in my "activity" log it says:

Date: Oct 23 2009
Type: Transfer From
Name/Email: PayPal
Payment status: Completed

whereas all my previous payments have said something similar to:

Date: date
Type: Payment To
Name/Email: Name of the person I'm paying
Payment status: Completed

It looks to me like they've only completed the part where they pull the money from my bank and not the part where they send it to the other person. Anyone know what has likely happened and how I can resolve it?

I used to work for PayPal. It has been a few years but I would guess that the person you sent $ to hasn't accepted the payment, doesn't have a PayPal account or may have a personal account and cannot accept your payment type or be over a limit. Ot they may not have properly set up or finished the process of setting up their PayPal account.
Paying by eCheck usually took 4 business days to complete.
It sounds like the issue is on the other end.
Granted things may have changed since I left almost 3 years ago but that is my best guess.

As for resolving it, give the other party a couple of days to sort out their account. You could try contacting them to see what they see on their end.
Did you check the FAQ's?

Thanks, Sugar. Yep, I looked at the FAQs but couldn't find any that covered it. Good idea, I'll wait until Monday and then contact them again and see if they got it. Otherwise I think the money is sitting in my paypal account and hopefully I'll be able to just initiate the payment again. Luckily it's only $5!

I could use some help with research for a project I am working on. I want to convince a committee to add a cafe/deli to the first floor of a building and I wanted to back it up with research showing how snacks, drinks, a place to take a break without leaving the building would benefit the company. Almost like a starbucks within the building (that hosts several companies) For instance, it would increase productivity and morale. I need stats to prove it and cite it. Any help? For example "according to ______ snacking between meals increases productivity by 70%" If anyone can help me research this, I would be in your debt.

I bet if you called or wrote to starbucks or a vending machine company, their sales dept would have that kind of info and would be happy to share it--especially if it could be a potential sale for them!!

I would do a quick time study and see how long it takes for them to get snacks from the nearest local place. Most companies like the idea of people spending less time away from their desks.

Have you spoken with the building management to see if they have tried to have a cafe/deli in the building in the past?
Have they approached vendors or have vendors approached them?
The building I work in has around 400 people working for various companies. Since it was built in 2001, there have been 3 different attempts from 3 different groups to run a cafe on the first floor. Each lasted from 3-6 months before closing shop. Part of the problem here is that there is no opportunity to bring in any business from outside the building, due to location, so all revenue has to come from within.

Maybe your location is better and can bring in some outside revenue. While you may find benefits for the tenants of the building, the group running the cafe will need to make a profit. Ours could not even cover the monthly expenses, even when it was just the owner working alone at the end.

Good luck. It was nice in the winter when we had a cafe, but there has not been any new attempts in the past 4 years.

Maybe talk to a company that has recently added a cafe and see if you can get quotes/info from them.

Most people know about various web related information sources, including Google. Please remember that people posting questions in this thread have decided to ask people at TVCH for some help and advice. They want your help. Please do not direct them to search Google (though you can provide helpful links from your own searches).

Oh. I didn't realize this was a project for school. I thought it might be work related.

I think Google (the company) has food/snacks available for their employees for free (along with other cool things). Contact them and tell them that a Google search didn't get you the information you need, so maybe they could provide their data for you. Along with references.
