Whew! First payroll with new company done and in the books. That's a relief. I did end up having to work about an hour longer yesterday, to finish it up and have our last phone meeting of the day with our trainer, at 5pm.
I think DD got her gift card deal figured out. I had told her to contact the store the gift card is through, even though her friend already tried that. They told her if she had the receipt from the grocery store she purchased it, they could help. She had thrown it out, but I told her to contact the store and see if they could reprint a copy and they could. (she had used her phone number during the purchase for her loyalty card). She emailed the copy to someone with customer service with the store and they emailed back that they would get a new gift card processed to her. Scammers suck.
Speaking of people who suck....still nothing from the hard drive guy. I texted a long message this afternoon. Asking him to please respond on what his plans our for our hard drive, that I did not understand why he could not reply to email, phone messages and texts...texts that show he has received. I said if he is not interested in trying to fix our hard drive to please just return it, so I can try to find someone else to fix it. I said my husband had saved some pictures of his parents on there, and they have both now passed away in recent months, and we'd really like to see if we can get it fixed. He read it minutes later. No reply. Who does that?!
Our neighbor was telling dh the story of their son's wedding pics. They hired a local guy to do pics. For some reason he didn't want them taking any of their own pics themselves during their son's wedding. He never gave them their pictures! They called, texted, emailed. One day he came into where she works and she said where's the flash drive with our son's wedding pics? He said it was out in his car. He went out and drove away! Then one day he was talking to neighbor guy on the phone, where he works, and didn't realize it was him. Was trying to get some work from where he worked, so he said ya, come on in. He came into the meeting room and neighbor guy came in and said, I want our son's wedding pictures. The guy was like "this is an ambush" and neighbor said yep! Finally, he gave them some pics, but it wasn't all of them. What a piece of crap. Again, who does that to people? The guy said to neighbor that he didn't give them because you were rude to me in your messages...Neighbor said not the first 20 messages!!!
I was reading comments on a friends Facebook post of some bread she made. "I can't seem to find bread mix for my bread machine anymore". O.M.G.....I so wanted to comment "have you ever heard of flour, water, and yeast? It makes bread!" LOL.
Well, that's about all I know for now. I'll need to run into town for a few groceries today. Almost out of bread and coffee creamer. I changed bread and thought these loaves were a little bigger and thought I had enough for 2 weeks, but nope.
Some people really do suck. The hard drive guy and the photographer are both unbelievable. How frustrating! I am glad your daughter solved the problem thanks to her mom:)
ReplyDeleteMoms are a good help :)
DeleteI'm glad your daughter was able to resolve the gift card issue!
ReplyDeleteIs it possible to just go and collect the hard drive from the repair person? It doesn't look like he is going to fix it!
We may end up having to try that, but he's almost a 2 hours drive away and then no guarantee he'd be there to get it from..:(
DeleteContact your Attorney General's Office of Consumer Affairs and file a formal complaint. It might, at the very least, scare him into returning the hard drive. You could let him know that if you don't hear from him in 24 hours, that's the next step you will take.
ReplyDeleteI was going to ask for suggestions on what we could do.
DeleteI just don't understand how some people operate. How hard could it be to fix, or call you, or e-mail you or text you. Maybe he ruined it and is afraid to tell you? Even if that is the case, he should at least have the grace to let you know what is going on.
ReplyDeletethat's what I said...or even just lie and say "sorry, it was toast, nothing was left on it" (which might be the case anyway).
DeleteWow, I hope our photographer stumps up the goods (he will - he's great). But talking of "sucking", a French colleague was getting married in Tunisia (I think), and they had everything set up for the caterers, paid in advance and so on, and the guy took the money and did a runner! How to ruin somebody's wedding! I'm glad your friend's situation was (somewhat) resolved though!
ReplyDeleteI hope you don't have to deal with a bad photographer, either!
DeleteI cannot believe you are STILL dealing with this guy. At this point, I'd be beyond mad about this situation. I agree with Susan. I'd give him a warning that I'd be contacting the authorities. Enough is enough. Some people, ugh!
ReplyDeleteI know, makes me want to turn him in to someone! I know we'd for sure never see it again, but at least get some retribution or give him a headache over it.
DeleteSon2 and DIl2 are still waiting for their wedding pictures. They were married last November. Additionally the photographer is a personal friend of my DIL
ReplyDeleteoh no, that makes it even harder! How hard is it to just copy the pics to a thumb drive and hand it over?! At that point I wouldn't even care if they were edited.
