The Negative Thread

[distaff]

Ugh, a few things, actually.

One of the dogs has been gimpy on and off for months. She had a vet visit, he said she sprained her back, and we came home with pain meds. Seems to be something different lately, maybe the right shoulder (?). Anyway, she gets better on and off whenever we decide to make another appointment. Meanwhile, I haven't been taking the three dogs for their daily walks, since those aggravate the limp. The effect of staying home is I've gained a bunch of weight! grrr.

CC got hacked a few months ago. Someone tried to charge $500, then did charge about $50, that went thru. Been and unending PITA to get resolved. Simply impossible to get a person on the line. I find their website impossible too. Told them to put a hold on the card, and CANCEL the account once they received my last payment, and that I was ONLY paying for what I actually charged, not the other charges, nor the interest on those charges. It gets paid in full every month anyway, but now the bills show I owe interest on the fraudulently made charges. Umm...NO.

Oh, and the goat we paid to have bred, never took.

People on the internet were mean to me. ;(

Additional rant... certain people I know are so unorganized, poor management skills. They either forget or somehow fail to let me know about additional work I need to do or they don't send me necessary files that I need to do it, so it ends up that I have to go to them repeatedly to ask. The lack of management and organization just makes it inconvenient for everyone they need to work with. And I end up almost being "late" for my deadlines, because they failed to inform me of certain things until the last minute... and they go and ask me "did you finish ~this~?" And I reply that I never got the file, and if there has been a mistake. They don't seem to realize that they're the ones who forgot to send me the file or forgot to let me know. Like it ALMOST feels like they're purposely trying to screw me over.

Because of this, it makes it look like it's "my fault" to my boss or anyone higher up.

*keepin it vague... kind of*

My new car had a warning light come on, although this was mostly just a mild stresser, because it's not even a month since I bought it and the guy would have had to take care of it(I Think). Turns out today I find it's not anything serious, but all weekend I had hour long trips to carious places that I could NOT back out of.

Then tonight I found that a very dear friend who was having brain surgery for a minor mass instead was found to have a malignant cancer in her brain. So much more serious than first thought.

Sounds like you work in the public sector. =) (speaking from experience)

Did you just ask for the file, or did you include the statement "If I don't receive it by COB tomorrow then the implementation date for project X will be delayed by a week" - and CC that person's boss as well?

Yes I know how to play the game after 25 years.

I'm actually an artist at Disney TV Animation LOL. Each production just has different people with different... skill levels, if you know what I mean. I genuinely think this person's just extremely careless and forgetful, and it is wasting my time.

I could forward this to their boss, but I don't want to be a jerk.. we're all trying to be friends around here, unfortunately.

I should probably include "ASAP" or something in my next emails. :\\\ Maybe CC it to one of the other people doing their job as well.
