You signed a contract with us stating that payment was due in 30 days. The invoice was due on May 10. Emailing us that you are working in DC until June 4 does not excuse you from your obligation! Grr.
But in today’s crazy world, if we said that to you, there’s a good chance you would say you weren’t happy with our work and threaten to take us to court.
To the TSA agent in Austin who physically assaulted me when doing a “hip to knee” search after being randomly selected from a TSA PRECHECK line…still looking at my options. Love to sue you. Personally. Being karate chopped between the legs? Not good. Anybody else but you would be arrested.
The complaint was immediately filed but I know those go nowhere. At any other point I would have hauled off and hit you. Should have–I’d be arrested but doubt I’d be convicted. Now I know to have every search videotaped.
I need to start a # TSA Me Too movement.-
I found quite a few cases on the internet and finally someone just this past Fall won a case in court.
I finally created an account, after lurking for an entire admissions season, just so I could post on this thread…
To my parents in law:
When you have specific seats you want at the oldest grandchild’s graduation AND
Your son works at the school from which that child is graduating and has responsibilities on graduation day AND
You are told very clearly by said son that you should be in line for graduation seats about 90 minutes before graduation is scheduled to begin AND
The graduate is the oldest of several siblings, ranging down to preschoolers AND
Your daughter in law (me) has the tickets you will need to get into the facility and cannot come back out to give them to you…
Do NOT wait to show up until 10 minutes before the ceremony, expect the skip the line, and then whine about how long it took you to get out of the house.
Everybody else was there on time. That’s the only reason you got the seats you wanted. Would have been nice to hear a thank you for that, instead of you dashing off seconds after getting a “family picture” for the vacation you planned to begin the same day your oldest grandchild graduated from high school.
I know we had to let you go, I know it was the right thing, I saw that it was completely painless, but I feel so guilty. I wish I could have gotten you well today instead of watching you pass away. You were so trusting and sweet.
Gosh lady, must you READ while traveling/driving 70+mph on I95? And you made it to senior citizen status (as per looks anyway)? Methinks someone else was driving most of the time. You do realize not all accidents come from cell phones, right, and there are these things called audiobooks if you like to get involved in a story? Drivers like you scare me.
Honestly, why am I surprised?
You have procrastination down to a science. But, this time it is going to cost you. About $135- that I am NOT going to pay.
Good thing you picked up a part-time job before you head off for research this summer- oh, wait- you don’t have an apartment for that yet either, do you?
grrrrrrrrr >:P
I understand what a great privilege it was for me to share my birthday with your big day (lol), but did you have to make the 530AM hair and makeup part of the privilege? And how dare I leave at 7pm to have a family dinner when it was a day wedding! And now “most of the presents were crap?” And no, I wasn’t the only one against a “destination bachelorette” - but you would have known that if you paid any attention to your friends’ situations. So glad I didn’t drag my parents, invited at the last minute when not enough RSVP’s came in eyeroll Still no thank you note for the shower 4 months later, for which I drove 8 hrs. Which way is up, again?
Yes, your grandson is skinny, but he’s not starving. His problem is not too little food, it’s too little healthy food. Bringing him a box of pastries every week doesn’t help.
I feel what I think of as manic, I am so happy. I feel loved and cherished when others think I should be upset.
I feel relieved that I am going to close a door and begin again. I know there is pain to come but I also know
that I will be ok. I have so much loving support.
I hope that this is working out my Karma so I don’t have to ever come back to planet earth.
( no, really not certifiable )
I am so glad that my local NPR station, the truly fabulous WNYC, is wrapping up its fundraiser today. They need an alternate stream for sustaining members who pay every month no matter what!
Not acceptable to have to wait 2 1/2 months for the delivery of our piano because your staff failed to record our moving address after being told at least three times.
Wow…I never knew that you are such an angry and aggressive guy. I have run into you twice in less than a year and the first time you snapped at me for not alerting you to our broken sprinkler system. I was taken back but assumed that you were just having a bad day.This morning , you cut me off in a bank parking lot and then threw you arms up in the air as if the say " stupid woman driver " I don’t even think you knew it was me , but if you did, let me remind you that I connected your son who worked for me a decade ago to a paid internship in his field . The next time you send your family to me for what you feel entitled to at a discount, it’s not happening !
He knows that he messed up, and that there was no way he could have passed the first time around. But he has approached this two week senior summer school session with such a great attitude! No anger, no excuses, just working his tush off to pass and enable himself to walk at graduation.
His makeup is next week, and will determine his fate. So many kids would have set the bar as low as possible, and aimed at a 65 or 70. But he’s working hard, doing all I ask of him, and aiming for the 90’s. If he keeps it up, that’s an absolute possibility.
So maybe he’ll graduate from high school having learned that showing up is a big part of success, and that he’s absolutely as capable as the next kid. Not a bad set of lessons to bring into adulthood.
