Argh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

When somebody in the banking industry has never heard of PayPal, something just ain't right. Usually the people at my locally owned bank are wonderful and so kind and will bend over backwards to help you get something straightened out. But not this lady, oh no. Heaven forbid she should be helpful.

In paying for my camera, the seller had not changed his PayPal addy to the correct one, so the first payment I sent never went through. Meaning the money never left my account. And then I get an NSF notice, so I called this morning to explain. I would have to get the one lady in the bank's employ that has never heard of PayPal and did not understand anything I told her. She told me and I quote "Since it's not a bank error there's nothing I can do" in the haughtiest, most insulting voice I ever heard from an employee at my bank! I beg to differ, lady!!!

So my mom is going to go to a different branch and see what she can do to fix it since her name is on my account on too. How can you work in the banking industry and not know what PayPal is????

I never knew...

There's been a whole big mess at work this last week and I just found out something that I didn't know and almost wish I hadn't found out at all.

One of my co-workers, who was a really good friend of my sister (who I also work with) has been spreading lies about me behind my back. Said co-worker quit yesterday and blamed it on me, even though I really had nothing to do with it and she was going to quit this week anyway. Now I know why. She was presented with a vague opportunity and she jumped on it. A lot of things make sense now that didn't before.

We had a lady come in today with a marked service dog. The past presidents of the board were also having a luncheon on the grounds and we had to walk through all of them to get to the house so I could start the tour. It's a federal offense to refuse to allow a marked service dog to accompany their human. My sister saw us with the dog, went into the gift shop and told my mother (who was helping out today) that I had made a very bad call in allowing a dog to be taken up into the house. My mother looked at her and said "Do you really think she's that stupid?"

It did upset some of the ladies because they couldn't see the dog's badge. But I'm really not that stupid. Pets are not allowed inside the house under any circumstances. It doesn't matter if the pet is dying, they still can't go in!

And then, said co-worker when she came by today to get some more of her stuff had the nerve to tell my mother that she was going to go over to the gift shop and send me back to the office because I'm not good with tourists. WTF????? There is absolutely no telling what sort of slander she has spread about me to our dear Allie and the board members. I was ticked at her before for acting like a child, but now I'm mad. MAD. I have never talked about her behind her back to anyone how DARE she talk about me like that and to my own sister! And often enough and long enough apparently that my sister believed her!

She's been saying "Be nice" to me an awful lot over the last year, at work, come to think of it. In reference to tourists. And it's been bothering me as to why she would say that. I'm not stupid. She knows full well that I'm capable of dealing with all sorts of people without them knowing how I really feel. That's the first skill you learn in a doctor's office. You put on a happy face and you act like you are delighted the tourists have stopped by, even if your feet are killing you. Which I do. Every day. Now I think I know why she's been telling me that. Angel. Spreading lies about me.

I'm pissed. Royally pissed.

Argh!!!

I am going to shoot my computer and then throw it out the window!!!! At the very least I'm going to shoot Norton. For the last week this thing has been running slower than molasses in January! I can't have more than two programs open at once, it freezes, hangs up, refuses to do things, and just now it spontaneously DELETED nearly 4 months worth of email! So fudgey, I no longer have the link for that sampler you had emailed me about. And to top it all off it did the mother of all freezes too. Had to unplug it and pop the battery out to turn the stupid thing off! Wouldn't even eject the CD I was trying to burn a work related file to. Had to stick a safety pin in the emergency release hole to get it open.

This was going to be a post about my recent finishes and how much closer it is to Ria arriving, but I'm far too pissed at my machine to spend any more time on it. I'm going to have email the file to myself so I can get it back to work and start making the needed changes on it.
