*sigh*

Am still car-less. Ford says they'll call me Monday. I thought that was why I hurried to get it to you on Friday, guys. So that I could get it back today? Ring a bell? Yeesh. Jess is being wonderful about letting me borrow her car, but it has its own problems. I really didn't want to make it do the trip down to Sonya's, but oh well. Jess has class tomorrow, and it'll just have to manage. Will hang the Bast-dedicated pentacle in it.

We wandered over to Turning wheel yesterday, got Jess a pentacle. It's very cool, they call it a "Pan" pentacle, but I don't see it. It's got fucking ivy leaves. Not my first thought when I think of the God.

Today, I got a bill from a creditor that I had arranged a payoff with. I deeply amused Jess by calling and going postal on some underling's ass. He was being deliberately obtuse, and acting like he had no idea what the hell I was talking about.

According to my beloved, I'm very cute when I go all snarly at them. He deserved it. I requested a supervisor twice before I lost it, informing him that, in my mind, the continued bills that I was recieving constituted harrassment, and I would not hesitate to call my lawyer if it continued. He very snidely informed me that in the unlikely event they had made a mistake, they would correct it. I got even more pissed, and told him that they had made a mistake, and that I would expect some sort of restitution when I faxed this over. He said that it wasn't his call, and I asked who it would be? He gave me bullshit that he didn't know, and I called him on it, said he'd just said that someone would decide, who would it be. Their legal department. Fine. Transfer me to them. Now. He can't do that. So, I informed him that he needed to get me someone who could, immediately. According to Jess, I had my head bobbing and all.

Five minutes later, I had a supervisor with a brain, who fixed the problem. I came out of it happy, and doing a little "better than you" dance in the key of "E." James would be horrified.

*grin* So, onward to tomorrow. *shrug* Here's hoping things pick up soon.

You're just cute, deal with it.

*snuggles*

Yep, things are gonna get better, I say so. Because that doesn't only work for you, you know.

Whoo! Remind me to call you in the next time I'm having trouble with underlings.

If Jess needs to be picked up, just let us know. One of us will swing up and get her.

*laughs* Any chance you could send some of that how to deal with underlings my way? I always seem to back down, even if I know I'm in the right and try and compromise, bad habit. *halfsmile*

I'm sure things will pick up for you soon.
