Cancer Posted January 24, 2022 Report Share Posted January 24, 2022 Yeah, this stuff worked two weeks ago. I assume it's a software update pushed to all their machines, since it's the same thing on three different printers (two different makes of them, too).

Old Man Posted January 24, 2022 Report Share Posted January 24, 2022 If it makes you feel any better, our IT department pushed out a script two weeks ago that literally erased 3000 laptops while people were working on them. I was spared only because that piece of software wasn't working on my laptop at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted January 24, 2022 Report Share Posted January 24, 2022 I assume our IT is working on that project, so that they can see your 3000 and raise you another 5000 or so. --- Meanwhile, I got their cackling with glee we're looking into it email response to my ticket.

Pariah Posted January 25, 2022 Report Share Posted January 25, 2022 Why would I need to conceal evidence? I have nothing to hide. My heart is as pure as the driven snow.

Pariah Posted January 25, 2022 Report Share Posted January 25, 2022 After a rough night for both of us, I have come to the conclusion that my 8-year-old and I both need more book time and less screen time.

Pariah Posted January 25, 2022 Report Share Posted January 25, 2022 My nonverbal 12-year-old just tested positive for COVID-19. She's miserable, and has no real way to communicate what she needs. I hate this f*****g disease. And I hate the fact that so many people still don't take it seriously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pariah Posted January 26, 2022 Report Share Posted January 26, 2022 Thank you all for your kind words about my daughter. She's feeling better day by day. Still got a fever, but we're managing that with ibuprofen. Old Man and Simon 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tkdguy Posted January 26, 2022 Report Share Posted January 26, 2022 I take the day off work to speak to my therapist, and the session get cancelled. The appointment was online, and I didn't get the message until 15 minutes after my session was supposed to begin. Now I get a bill from my medical provider. I can't afford this monthly bill. I'm still on hold trying to get a hold with a representative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ternaugh Posted January 29, 2022 Report Share Posted January 29, 2022 I just received a collection letter on a supposed 10 year-old debt owed by my late housemate. The previous "owner" of the debt was also a collection agency, who specializes in claiming that people owe money on car loans (he last financed a car sometime in the late 80s). The housemate passed away almost 8 years ago, so the debt is well outside of any claim period for his estate, but it's still a frustrating thing to have to deal with this "zombie debt". Edit: On the back of their letter, they explain that, due to the age of the debt, neither the original collection agency nor the new collection agency has the right to sue to collect or to report it to a credit agency. They also note that the previous owner of the debt bought it from yet another collection agency. It's basically a shakedown scheme with no teeth.

Logan D. Hurricanes Posted February 3, 2022 Report Share Posted February 3, 2022 I am having a hell of a morning. I can't seem to wake up, very debilitatingly groggy. My eyes aren't lining up to see properly. GI system feels awful, will probably throw up soon. I got my booster shot yesterday and I'm still incredibly sore from that. Why so late? I'm part of a clinical trial for a new vaccine, NovaVax, and I had 0 side effects before. The booster is kicking my ass, though. And I have an appliance repair man coming at some point, lord only knows when that'll happen. What a freaking morning.

death tribble Posted February 3, 2022 Report Share Posted February 3, 2022 Arranged to see friends this Saturday in Reading. Problem No 1, Bus service from Plymouth to Tiverton. Problem No 2. Plymouth are playing Chelsea in London at 12:30 so all spaces booked on buses to before 8:00. So I am going up on Friday and staying in a hotel overnight. Still coming back on 8:30 pm train on Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still on hold trying to get a hold with a representative. Finally got my insurance sorted out, although it took me a week to get it done. The hospital and the insurance companies left me hanging for that long. First got put on hold for 30 minutes, then I got transferred twice and was given a couple of numbers that didn't work. I eventually fixed it with the insurance companies, then I got an email saying my coverage had ended according to my wishes. I made no such request. I had to call early morning just to talk to a person. As for my therapist, I went to another online service yesterday, since this was available on the weekend. Even up to a half hour before the appointment, I got email reminders. I log in. I keep getting a buffering symbol with a message "Waiting for others to join." I stay that way for a half-hour. I emailed the website about the problem after 15 minutes and eventually got a reply apologizing for the connection not being made. The previous email said that the doctor would call if there was a problem; she didn't. Still unsure whether technical problems or the doctor forgot about the session. I called the number about rescheduling and got an automated reply. I didn't leave a message. Seriously, having that happen twice in a row is inexcusable. Okay, they were different providers and different circumstances, but I don't don't care about the details. I hope they try to ask how the session went so I can give them a very scathing review. I think I won't even bother trying to use their services anymore. If my time is so unimportant to these people, they don't deserve my business.

Pariah Posted February 17, 2022 Report Share Posted February 17, 2022 Kind of a rough day today. Today would have been my Mom's 74th birthday. So far, I've made it through one class period without having a meltdown. Wish me luck for the rest of the day (as well as the meeting after school). L.
