Yeah... Lost about a month of stuff. Everything just reverted to March 6th (this was the result of J doing what he could to save what was remaining).

Our little dog gave us quite the scare today with 3 seizures in a row. Did all the stuff we are supposed to do for him, but to no avail. Off to the vet we go..turned out the little man had dangerously low blood sugar levels. One big pre dinner snack, and a $280 bill and he is good to go.

I really hate it when people don't do their fuckn job. Especially those that brag about how great they are at it.

I have to get this health assessment done for the insurance provider and a big chunk of the cost offset to our health insurance $600/year is a negative COTININE result (tobacco free). Their are other factors, but both of us can get up to $2,000 combined off our premiums.

I tell the Dr., the lab tech, the nurse, the med tech, everyone, several times, that THE most important piece of information that has to be recorded on this damn form they submit is the COTININE result. "Oh, we do 8 of these a day, don't worry..." I also asked that they send me a copy. Corksoakers even got my e-mail address to "improve" their patient communications. Of course, I never received a copy, just their assurance that it was all COMPLETE and sent in.

Yup, stupid motherfuckers faxed in the form to the insurance provider without the fuckn COTININE results recorded.

Have them send a correction.
My med facility / provider hit me with a rather (for me) large bill, after ins coverage (NOT). Basically told me Oh well we can't do anything about it, to bad, so sad.

Some CSR head honchette got wind and said NO PROBLEM, how you were treated is UNACCEPTABLE. Tell you what, i'm sending you an e-mail saying we will waive your bill AND since i'm the HMFWIC, you have ANY PROBLEMS here's my direct #.

5 business days later, NO e-mail as she said, not 1 returned call from my voice mails left for her. Yeppers THAT'S HOW WE DO IT. Can't wait for my soon to be Late / over 30 days notice to arrive.

Fun stuff. I don't know why such simple jobs seem to be the most unreliable.

Dear sweet baby jesus... keep me from killing these children. It's apparently 'bring your shit head' to work day at the office.. they've occupied the conference room across from my office. Frozen has been on repeat all morning. I'm tempted to start drinking... I do have duct tape in the office. It may be deployed by noon.

Rant. Sorry, no cussing.

Customers. Are King.

But they can be a real headache sometimes. I get along with just about everybody but sometimes there comes a person that just goes so much against the grain that I end up with a splitting headache.

Customer calls last Saturday and sets up an appointment for this morning at 9:00 AM, when we open. I ask the customer at that time if it would be possible to get here about 10 to 15 minutes early, we'll get him checked in and have a technician on the bike right away. He says great, he'll be here. So I follow up with him yesterday afternoon and confirm the jobs and ask again if he will get here a few minutes early and we will get right on it.
So, at 9:15 this morning, he is not here. I have a technician doing busy work. I call, no answer, leave a message. No return call and at 9:20 I assign the tech another job. At just after 9:30 the guy shows up, I check him in and let him know that I will get a tech on it as quickly as I can. The guy explodes at me and says I promised him that I would get him right in. I recall the conversations we had last week and just yesterday and he calls me a liar and says I told him he could show up anytime. I keep notes and I had everything documented but did not say that to him, he is very animated at this point. I ask him to calm down and as soon as the tech gets to a stopping point I will move his bike up and get it started, probably about 10 to 15 minutes and we will get started. He says fine, just get it done, he has an important appointment he needs to be at by 11:00.

Well, the job will take 1.5 hours to complete. I let him know this, as we had discussed prior when he made the appointment and he starts calling me a f'ing liar in a very loud voice and this is of course attracting attention. So now it is nearly 10:00 and I have not even got the bike checked in.

The shop manager is now involved and everytime I try to explain the situation this guy starts cussing again and calling me a liar. I show the boss my notes and by now the customer is very red and I am hoping he is not armed, 'cause I'm not and he seems ready to come over the counter at me. Finally the boss tells him to leave and he does. He ride away and he is so mad that he almost crashes twice getting out of the parking lot.

Then the boss tells me I need to be more diplomatic to avoid ticking off the customers. Two other people saw the whole thing and told the boss I was a perfect gentleman the whole time, the customer was unreasonable.

I have a headache.

Some customers are not kings, they are assholes at the highest degree. I hope he finds another service center that he can work with.

Feed the kids sugar and coffee. It'll be worse today but they won't be back.
