    Me in a cover letter emailed to clients: The documents are attached. Download/print for easier future access.
    Client: Send me pdfs of the documents.
    Me: They're attached. The letter should have said (see above).
    Client: You have to answer questions. It's not as easy as you say.
    Me (not yet. I came here first): SO YOU DON'T GET IDENTITY THEFTED, MORON!!!! THE EASIER ACCESS IS FOR LATER AND SO I DON'T HAVE TO DO DOUBLE THE WORK!!!!

    At FedEx - shipping a piece of equipment at the FedEx counter at the airport. NOT at a non-FedEx shipping place.
    I had to change the ship to address at the FedEx office because luckily I found out in time that the client gave me the wrong address.
    Me: Can you add this reference number (so the client knows which job it goes to)?
    FedEx Gal: i can't do on my computer what you can do on your computer at home.
    Me: You mean on fedex.com?
    Her: I don't know what you do at home, but I can't do that. I can add it to the address line.
    Me: I don't want to confuse the driver with more numbers in the address. This is FedEx, right?
    Her: I don't know what you do on your computer, but it's different here.
    Me: Never mind 🀯

    The mass confusion today over who got Covid and what all those who were "close contacts" were supposed to do.

    Someone on my son's bus ended up contracting Covid and because all the other kids were on the bus with him after he tested positive, they are considered close contacts and also need to be quarantined. The way it was told to me first go around was that my son and ALL OTHER 42 students tested positive.

    Thankfully, after calling back to the school's HR and general administrative consultant, I got to the bottom of it. He tested negative on Friday and today, but because he had that close (enough) contact, he and all the other kids on the bus need to quarantine until at least Monday evening and produce a negative COVID test to come back to school on Tuesday.

    I’ve had the health dept call my house twice last year telling me 2 different people in the 4K class tested positive. One of them hadn’t even been tested. (Ended up inconclusive) and one didn’t have results from their dr yet (ended up negative). I’m sure they wrote overwhelmed but it causes lots of confusion for us all too.

    Yeah, it was nuts. Thankfully, the school administration answered all my questions via phone after I called them back. They also sent out guidance to everyone, informed all the non-affected families that a case had popped up and his teacher sent home his asynchronous work along with a snazzy tablet.

    I haven’t been irked in a while.
    So, I guess, what it irking me is my own behavior - stalling too much to get back into the exercise habit.
    Two weeks is too long.

    Pushing myself is a must.

    But

    😫 I-don’t-wanna! 😭

    Irked at Florida, bro in laws boss and Zelle

    My little sisters husband got covid , his boss didn't tell anyone at work that 7 other employees were positive for it and he told the employees not to take off and stay quiet about being positive. Then as my bro in law chose to take 2 weeks off the boss said hes not gonna pay him for taking time off from work. They have a special needs child and 2 twin newborns.

    I being the good brother I am tried to send my sister $4000 to help her with rent, bills and extras but Zelle locked my account which triggered Citibank to also. Now I have to wait a 5 days to access my Citibank account and 14 days for Zelle.

    Wow. No good deed goes unpunished apparently

    Sorry to hear of this...you are so kind to be looking out for your sister. I hope this gets resolved on all ends quickly...someone needs to report that boss to many people, whoever will listen

    Client: Please send me a copy of the document.
    Me: (and I'm doing it this time) You mean like a copy that was attached to the docusign and was stated in the email from docusign? Sure! :)

    The continued issues/delays related to (being blamed on?) COVID. C'mon people -- this is not new. Figure things out and get your crap in line. It shouldn't take 4 days to process and ship my order. And don't even get me started on that 4-day turn around time when I've paid an extra 20% of my order price for expedited shipping to have the item here in time for my anniversary.

    And if anyone dares lecture me on waiting until the last minute to order my wife's anniversary gift, then YOU irk me too.

    And someone mentioned mosquitos before? Not just mosquitos but when you they get you in places you just can't get to yourself and it makes a little blister that you really wanna pop but know you shouldn't but you're pretty compulsive when it comes to things like that and you're ok with tmi! :)

    Being 🀬 because I’m wiped out after a walk when I know it’s inflammation causing pain and that stress is exhausting. I can normally chill, accept, and breathe but lately the frustration is real β€” hitting my pain threshold I suppose πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ.

    Got my order of built bars I didn't expect to buy and the cold pack leaked so now I have four small damp, fragile boxes that smell musty. At least the bars are individually wrapped.

    The fact that this site requires you to enter and save credit card information to pay for membership subscriptions! With security breaches now being a common occurrence, I would prefer to pay with paypal or even a one time credit card payment. I'm a new member who was prepared to pay for a one year membership, BUT NEVERMIND!
