Ooh, I'll stay tuned for your announcement in the (hopefully) near future!  Hmm, so the news reports will say that a woman put a gag ball in the mouths of a few neighbors, then went back home to sleep? |

OMG sunshine! Put a used tampon in his beer! HAHAHAHAHAHA that was freakin funny!!! Cherry I got peed on at work once. I was putting an IV in this woman, and next to her was another patient who was some drunk found on the streets unconscious. He just turned over in his bed, whipped out his weiner and peed off the side of the bed. I actually heard the splashing noise on the floor first and was like, "What's that spilling water noise?" Then I realized that my entire leg was completely soaked. I didn't notice it at first because the temperature of his pee was the same as my leg! I was soaked from the knee down, into my shoe and sock. ugh!! Anyways, about the PA thing, maybe that's our answer?? All of us need to start seeing PAs! I've always had good experiences with PAs, you ladies seem to have nice things to say. hmmmm... we'll see how this goes on Friday.  |

Either that, or, "Local woman tears out neighbors' larynxes, reinplants them in rectums. News at 6." You guys, I could seriously never work in the medical field, for fear of contact with bodily fluids. EW. I'd be too skinny from barfing, all the time. |

OMG I'm SO PISSED.
So my palm pixi cell phone screen cracked. I DID NOT DROP IT. I put it into my pocket, walked to class and when I took it back out of my pocket, it had a crack down the middle of the screen and the touch-screen no longer worked. So I went online and did a search "palm pixi screen cracked" and TONS of things came up about how other people were having the same problem without dropping or harming their phone. Some people even said that they believe this to be a defect of the phone. The warranty says it covers hardware defects so I sent it to the service repair center for them to determine if the break was due to "misuse" of the phone. If not, the phone will be repaired under warranty.
Well I got a call today from some third party person who informed me that my phone was broken because of "misuse." I asked the guy what did I do to misuse my phone? I just had it in my pocket! I would think that part of "normal use" of a cell phone is being able to carry it in your pocket! He proceeded to tell me that all he can say is that he has a message from the repair center saying that they inspected my phone and determined that it broke because of my misuse.
I then asked if I could have a phone number to the repair center to speak to someone that can further describe this term "misuse" and tell me how they came to this determination. Seriously, if I misused my phone then I would like to know how! I can't afford to break it again!
This person flat-out told me, "We do not have a phone number for them."
I replied with, "You don't have a phone number for them? So basically I can not talk to anyone about this inspection of my phone?" And he proceeded to tell me that they do not have any contact with them so they do not have a way for me to talk to them either.
UM, EXCUSE ME? How the heck did they tell you about my phone inspection then!?!?!?!
Basically the conversation went nowhere. He stood his ground and said there was absolutely NO WAY I can talk to someone about my phone repair and either I pay the $199 to fix it or have it shipped back.
So here's what I would like to clarify: First, why should I pay for a repair that has been an inherent problem with the phone? I DID NOT misuse it! Second, why can't I talk to someone who can explain this so-called inspection process? Third, how does this guy on the phone expect me to believe that a multimillion dollar CELL PHONE company NOT HAVE A PHONE NUMBER THAT I CAN CALL!?!?
I'm absolutely infuriated over the way I was treated.

OOOH, sh*t like that pisses me off! I would cite anecdotal evidence, make plenty of printouts of the online complaints that you've seen, and send those to the address to which you had to send the phone for inspection/repair, with your account number and phone model number on it. I would also have someone sign for it, or find a consumer complaint address, and do the same thing.
They're so full of sh*t when they tell you things like that. They're the ones who will also say that they're required to have your information to answer a general question about anything, but nothing about your account. And they're all liars.

Yup, it sounds to me like someone's going to get a letter from Ms. Jenasty!

So I think I have exhausted all of my options. I made a complaint to the supervisor, I tried emailing Palm directly, I posted on the forum for the Palm company and even found TONS of complaints of the same problem! I've done so much. The only thing they'll do for me is offer a 25% discount on the repair. So the repair cost will go from $200 to $150.
I'm still pissed. This phone is defective! There were a couple people that said they watched their phone crack before their eyes without even dropping it!!!

Here's my daily bitch... We only get paid ONCE A MONTH! I've got a pretty solid budget set up but damn, I'm always running on fumes at the end of the month. The kicker? Our accounting department processes payroll every week for our field staff (they're union - it's required). That ranges from 300-800 people a week depending on how busy we are. But the 80 or so people in the office? Too much work... Only once a month. Damn, it sucks, especially for a single gal like me!

Sh*t! MONTHLY?
It's sooooo much easier for weekly/bi-weekly, b/c you can at least space things out, like bill payment, etc. Gas money, groceries... unexpected things, like having to buy a sh*tload of condoms, lube, jumper cables...
Not good for the budgeting to go monthly.

Oh, yes... It sucks! When asked about it in new employee orientation, the VP of finance (old guy) said that years ago he complained about it taking too much time to do every week so he discussed it with the (then) president. The president suggested paying people QUARTERLY, but they settled on monthly instead... We all suspect that as soon as the VP retires, that'll change... It SUCKS! It's gotten to the point where I totaled up how much I spend in bills each month and I have that exact amount deposited in a completely separate account. I can't touch it, can't spend it elsewhere, it's only for bills. If I didn't do that, I'd be screwed every month when it came time to pay the mortgage... But, yes, that then means that my spending money budget and oh-crap-I-need budget is pretty damn tight. Looks like I'll have to settle on generic condoms & lube?  |

My place is the same, monthly for staff, weekly for production. Yeah sometimes I hate being skint at the end of the month but I'd actually hate to be paid weekly. I reckon I'd run out when I bill was due.

I'm just sick of mediating and arguing this last few weeks. It's the time I resolved to put away my knee jerk reactions and hey presto I get people shouting at me or being mean and ungrateful, arguing and having me clear it up cos they're too stubborn and bitchy and up themselves... and not a word of thanks for the little things I've done for people. I'm over it now I've gotten it off my chest |
