I had a doctor’s appointment a couple weeks ago. Got the bill a couple days ago, both email and regular mail - glanced at the due date, mentally filed it away as “not due until after upcoming paycheck hits, will pay then” and moved on with life.
Since then, I have gotten three texts and two emails reminding me that I have an outstanding balance. I just looked again at the bill in case my dumb ass, IDK, forgot what month we are in or similar. Nope. Due May 4!
Keep your panties on, people, you’ll get paid when I do which will still be well before the due date! Sheesh.
Complaint on behalf of my neighbour - their business is equipment for marathons, etc, and do a lot of business in the USA from Canada. They did a race in Vegas in January. They have received a $6000 tariff bill for bringing their own product into and out of the US. Which makes no sense. Anyways, they are fighting back on it.
Block the number - clearly between email and snail mail, you don’t need their texts. Billing never uses the same number as the actual doc, but I guess double check that first just in case.
I found an AMAZING dress at a second hand store today. I put it on when I got home and immediately stepped on the hem going up the stairs and ripped it It’s a tiny yarn design attaching the floofy hem to the rest of the skirt, so I can’t just sew it back on.
I’m bringing it to work tomorrow to see if a coworker who sews, crochets, AND knits has ideas. I know if I just “plan to fix it this weekend” I’ll never get around to figuring out what to do
Head hurts. Found <random thing> that needed to go on another area’s list at work. Realized I didn’t know the new owner of area, which isn’t uncommon given the mass exodus and some rearranging so pinged overall project lead. Who also didn’t know, at which point we found out the owner was a blank in the tracking spreadsheet. Not a good thing since they should have started local reviews a couple weeks ago, but not the end of the world, flagged it up the management chain to find someone who could own it, and then got a very annoyed email from some random manager who said he’d assigned it to one of his people a couple weeks ago. He just, you know, hadn’t bothered to fill in the assignment or tell the person he’d assigned so they could start work.
Going to let someone in upper management explain that no one on this project is psychic.
Got 2 new skirts, tried them on and they seemed great. But now that I’ve washed them (made them unreturnable), I’ve discovered they loosen over the course of the day, and if I put my phone in my pocket, they fall down. Not like “slide down a smidge,” we’re talking “walk down the hallway holding on to the waistband”
A little old lady at the library told me she sees me on the local cable channel and that I “look much heavier on video”. It was funny because I was waiting for her to end the sentence with something like, “and the library programs always sound like so much fun” or something like that, not “you look heavy on TV”. I think she thought she was giving me a compliment?
Jury duty for May. Ugh! I sat on a week long trial 2 years ago! I have a staycation planned so I’m going to try to get released when I report on the first day.
