Yeah!! I have the car today!! I've got a major hair appointment this morning, a visit to my parents, a trip to the grocery store, pick up Ted from the subway station at 6, home for dinner, and Mike returns from another week in WV around 10. He is managing to work a 40 hour week in 4 days down there, Yuck.
Can I just say that old people are too damned awry for the own good? I had a lady this morning and her problem didn't even remotely relate to our product but because the error said "Security" she assumed it was us causing it. So I explained again not our problem, no you're way past your refund date and you wouldn't get one anyways because it's not a problem with the program.
Then came jerkface old husband. Threatened to sue the company, go to attorney general, write his insurance company that was some how involved in getting his computer. So he put me on hold and he was gonna make sure his attorney general told me to give him his refund or fix the software. So I politely advised him again this was not our problem and I was not going to talk to whatever people he could get on the phone and disconnected the call.
Arrrgh.

Jim is in the air, winging his way towards Arizona. Our son is coming over for dinner tonight, so I need to go get groceries a little later today.
Someone was ringing my doorbell about an hour ago (I wasn't dressed yet) which made Lucy nuts. I thought that it was probably campaign representatives who were canvassing our neighborhood, and ignored the intrusion.
Just about the time Lucy finally calmed down, and the people had gone away (no, I didn't answer the door -- I wasn't dressed, and I was pissed that they kept ringing it and ringing it), our lawn service came by to put down fertilizer. That started Lucy up again!
It turns out from the literature stuck in my front door handle that it was actually yet more Jehovah's Witnesses who had been here earlier, on a mission to convert me. I don't know why, but our neighborhood is regularly targeted! We have a heavily Catholic neighborhood, and you'd think that the JWs would be somewhat discouraged by the MASSIVE Catholic church, just down the road from where our street begins. But no...
That's all I've got so far!
Brandon, I just saw your post. Too funny!!

Poor Brandon, it seems you get all the characters at work. I couldn't imagine.
And GAH Moore, I think I would have rather had the campaign people then the JW. I guess its a blessing that we live in military housing. We don't get a lot of religious people at all.
Oh, Bran, it must really tax your sense of humour getting calls like that all the time. I can relate to grumpy old people, too.
I'm back from an overhaul at the salon and just hope it holds through the weekend when I'll be chained to the stove for our Thanksgiving turkey feast. I'll run my Y&R recording now.
Poor little Lucy, lol. Just when you think she's settled down from guarding her house, another intrusion! Who needs burglar alarms with a barking poochie in residence? We sure don't either.
Yuck, Jojo are you getting the boards first snow? Poor you. I hope that its not too bad for ya. And boy I am glad you found that great coat just in time huh.
Who needs burglar alarms with a barking poochie in residence? We sure don't either.
We actually DO have an alarm - Brinks - that we put in MANY years ago, when the kids were little, and we had an intruder. It was in the wee hours of of the morning, and Jim woke up to the sight of someone standing at our bedroom door, shining a flashlight into the room!
That was a time when Jim was doing a little job-related travelling, and after that scary experience, we decided to put in an alarm. It gives me great peace of mind, especially when combined with Lucy's barking! LOL...
