Just Pass Me By

You wanna know why sometimes dogs bite the postman. I think I understand why they don’t like postmen, well it because they just aren’t organized. Normally we do not have problems here and our postal worker is good at their job. I honestly have to say I am annoyed with them. Our apartment building for some reason had 2 different postman working today.
Today I got a noticed in my mail box saying there a package down in the office. The mail person was here at a little after 10am, I noticed this because he came while I was eating my breakfast. I decided to go and check the mail and there was a package slip in my box. Why did they not knock on my door, I was home all day and would have gladly open it. Well I decided I go down to management at around noon, I figured a little over a hour would be long enough to have a package there. No packaged, now we was expecting one. Management told me no postal worker was in yet.
Management told me there a new person today so I told them I come back in a couple hours, came back close to 2pm. Still the package was not there, so I told them I would come back later in the afternoon. I went back down at around 420, still no package and they told me the mail man was already there. Now I am worried.
I called my husband and let him know, his package hadn’t came and he needed to call the post office. My husband told the lady what I told him. I think the woman there had herexterior shutters closed, because she told my husband that the mailman didn’t come until the afternoon. Well I know for a fact what time they came because I never sleep until 1pm in the afternoon. She pretty much told my husband we where stupid and that she would call back when the mail person got back to the post office. My husband tried to defend me but she wanted nothing to do with that. I asked if he asked to speak to a supervisor and he said she was it. So know we are unhappy with the service provide and can’t really go to anyone and talk about the problem we are having with them. I will watch the mail and if problems get worst I will report it to someone else if I gotta become a pain I will.
They don’t know what their mail people are doing, I don’t care if he wasn’t supposed to be here till the afternoon. He came in the morning a little after 10am, I think I would know more of that then they would because I was home watching the cars go through the parking lot since I have nothing better to do. I really hope that this isn’t going to start being like my old apartment building. I really don’t wanna have to add the expenses of a postal box to my bills.
About 10 minutes later the Postal worker from the Post Office called him back and told us that all packages where just lift at the office at 430, I told my husband I would run over and see if it was there. So the slips in my box a little after 10 am and doesn’t show up to the office until after 430, whats wrong with that picture. I know it wouldn’t take the post man that long to do 2 buildings.

Tonight my husband and I decided to go out to eat, I have pretty much cleaned my house for this coming week. So honestly I didn’t want to do a whole lot of cooking. My husband decided to treat us to Falaffel King tonight. This is a very nice little restaurant. The dance came up to me and asked if I wanted to dance with her. Well today it’s been like I have had 2 left feet and frankly there were a lot of people there and I am not that outgoing. I am fairly shy in groups. We really enjoy the Falaffel King wait staff is good, and always courteous to us. Probably a good thing I didn’t go up and dance with her probably would have broken something or hurt her.
Tonight I was sharing with my husband a dream I had last night. We where working on a project in the dream with some shelves that just wouldn’t stop moving. Maybe it a resemblance of how I feel lately with work. I was speaking with my hands which I often do. Sometimes it gets me in trouble expecially when I have my glass in front of me! Well I ended up wearing my Dr. Pepper. Oh no, thank goodness it not cold our now.
My husband caught our waiter attention he came over right away, and I ran to the bathroom. Don’t worry wasn’t going to cry over spilled pop. Sticky it may be but it no crying matter, took some of there paper towels to try to dry my pants off as much as possible. By the time I got back they had cleaned the table, and one of the busboys was taking care of the seat for me. I was going to just throw my jacket over it I figure my miss so clean it up.
They have the nice cushions on their booths they are comfortable maybe not as comfortable as an adjustable beds but they are comfortable. The young man brought out a couple of towels for me to sit on. My husband ended up being some lift over homes tonight to, he order some Falaffel. Even through the wait suggested I try their chicken Pita. Normally when I go out to eat at unique places I don’t eat Chicken. I get plenty of Chicken and it nice changing my diet a little. I had order their Falaffel Pita which was yummy! I telling you I didn’t even need their dipping sauce it would be good on it own. This is one of the few places I will eat the Tomatoes normally I don’t like anyone tomatoes but what I grow on my own.
They have wonderful Customer service at Falaffel King and my husband and I look forward to our next visit. It fun watching their dancer dance, I can’t say my husband watches them dance, but I know I do.

I have lived with asthma which sometimes can cause a lot of problems for me. A few years ago when it was at it worst, I had to be on FMLA in order to keep my job. I had another friend who I had advise to get this because she had worst and more medical problems then I. FMLA is Family Medical Leave Act, my boss advise me to do this because she didn’t want to fire me and I had already missed almost all my absentees for the year. At the time I had fairly good health benefits, and had a very low co payment.
My best friend has Fibromyalgia it is very hard for her, she also has a lot of other medical problems. She like me works, and tries to keep her Health Insurance through her company because not many insurance companies want to cover preexisting conditions. Some companies will require you have them for a year before they deal with the preexisting conditions. Her like me when times where hard tired to get help through the state but never could seem to get on health insurance, because we where able body and where earning a little bit of money each month just enough to not be able to get their help.
Health problems is something people have to deal with, and go through. My husband parents have problems due to aging, they are covered by Dad old job Health insurance and medicare I am glad they are cover by that I am not sure if it is medicare part d or what it is.
Right now even through I have job that offers health benefits, I am not working so I am not getting those benefits which means, I can’t deal with my asthma with meds. I know there are many commercials out there if you can’t afford your meds we will help you. Well that great if a person can see there doctor.

This morning we woke up with a note slid under our door, from management. I guess this is just some more bad news for my husband and I to have to deal with. They have decided to raise the price of washing and drying 25 cents each. That will be 3 dollars a load washing and drying both, which isn’t good but it could be worst because I have a few friends who pay more for laundering their clothes then we do but still this is just another increase that we have to compensate for.
When my husband and I go grocery shopping we are spending way more then what we used to. For the same items. I used to be able to get way with 70 bucks for 2 weeks. Now we are lucky if our bill is less then 70 a week, most weeks it at least 80 bucks just to get what we need for that week. Gas in the car, well I almost don’t want to go on job interviews now because I am worried about having enough gas to get me through till payday, because I am starting to feel going for something that turns out unfruitful isn’t wise. If I do not get the job I used gas which could possible get me to a job interview that would be fruitful. I am like in a rock in a hard place because right now with the cost of gas I have to be extra careful.
The only thing that hasn’t changed for most of my friends is their car insurance but maybe we aught not to count our blessings just yet. Even our over the counter allergies meds cost has increase, the price of cat litter increase with all the increase and barely working enough hours to keep a float, I owe the IRS money. Just lovely.

What’s the point of internet banking, when it never works for me. A week ago, I called my bank to reset my password and user name. I had not used internet banking because it was to much of a hassle. I would go and enter my user name and password correctly and then it would lock me out of my account. This gets old fast. Last week when I talked to the guy from my bank he said it should be easier now. I guess the jokes on me because it was not any easier. I still think Phone Banking is easier then Internet banking and I am good with the internet.

This morning I get up to find out how much I was paid from work, it would have saved me a headache just waiting until my pay stub arrived! i get on line check emails and a couple of other things. It time to go over to my bank site, I enter in my user name and password, and it tells me username or password is not valid. What! are you serious. So I retired it with the exact same user name, and Typed in the letters to my Password very slowly watching each letter as I hit it. I know this is the password I used for the bank because it what I wrote down for the bank account on my book for the bank. Then I get this stupid message call the bank because you’ve been locked out of your account.

This happens every time! It does not matter if my password is right or wrong, it tells me to contact the bank. Now I have just wasted time talking to them on the telephone but yet they can not tell me what I am doing wrong or why I can not get into my bank account. This is insane! It hasn’t got any better for me, I am almost positive that I am not the only one who banks there with this problem.

It seems there are so many law suites lately, lets see we have that air born and the gift card thing going on. I am glad about the air born thing being brought to light it is important, expecially with the claims they have made. A few months ago my husband suggested I try it but I read the ingredients and figure it wasn’t a good idea for me. I believe if my memory serves me right they had a sweetener in it. So we didn’t get it normally I don’t try those, now I will try some home remedies some of them work pretty good. One that my husband and I have found is Cider vinegar and raw honey this works pretty good for congestion due to allergies. I am not saying it a cure but it helps some, it also feels good going down a sore throat because of the postnasal drip.
My husband a couple days ago was talking to me about supplements for weight loss and health. Weight loss supplements worry me the most, because those are the one which can cause heart trouble in some people. So as a loving wife I told my husband don’t do it when he told me he was going to try some supplements. I was worried it was for weight, but then he told me it was for heart health. I told him okay but be careful.
I think sometimes we can get obsessed with how to lose weight and being thin. I think the best way is by diet and exercise, and making sure that not to much weight is being lost.
Now moving on to the Companies and their gift cards, this isn’t going to pass well. People have paid for their products, or their gifts for other people, and frankly the card is not worth a whole lot of money and they should honor them. They should not have sold gift cards if they where in that much financial trouble, they should have only sold their products. I would be angry if I got someone a gift card and it was not honored, not to mention I would be embarrassed. These companies need to honor their sales and those gift certificates is like money. Why should they get to keep money which is not really theirs, there was no product traded so the money on that card is not their it is who ever owns the cards. I honestly will be shocked if the courts lets them get away with this what this is, is cooperate robbery against their customers.

why buy.com rocks I recently found them through another site, and people had recommended I should go there to find some of the things I needed. I have always been very leery of shopping on line, because of a few very bad experiences. Well after a enough people told me, Hey take a look at this, I am very tempted to try to purchase something on line there. I have been wanting a blue tooth for my cell phone, they have for a little less then where I normally go.. My ears aren’t very large and it seems a lot of them are made for people with big ears, I found one I like a lot but it was 90 bucks with my cell phone company and a few other stores I go to. Ouch, can’t justify spending that right now. At buy.com they have a similar one for under 60 bucks and a couple I found for well a lot less then 60.
I am excited about that and to be honest it is a temptation to spend it there.I heard they are offering 10 bucks off to new shoppers and some free shipping offers. They have such a wide range of products, I am actually excited, and I think I might be able to find my husband a birthday present this year on line and not have to worry about going into the mall, which I hate. Buy.com is a great option for people like me who just don’t want to have to deal with crowds at the mall, or traffic especially around the holidays. They even have coupons upon checking out powered by Google. They are also supported by Actors and Actress who show up to give them some advertising to help promote their products, with this I think they must be doing pretty good and must be a honest company.I was surprise to see that they sold DVDs, TVs, Computers both desk top and lap tops, cell phone and their accessories, DVD Players, Video games for most gaming system, and the list goes on. That’s why buy.com rocks

Okay how do you get 32 a month on a machine which costs 899 but was marked down to 699, and get it paid off in a year. Their add just does not add up to me. Mom and dad has someone trying to sell them a air purifier, that is 899 and they are trying to get mom and dad to make monthly payments on this. First Mom and dad have a air Purifier, so what wrong with their current one.

Today we where going to make a trip down to mom and dad but before we lift, we found out that there was a blizzard warning, so we decided it was safer to remain here and go next weekend. While talking to mom and dad we found out they decided not to get this air purifier, I am worried because the sales person seems to be very pushy and I do not want her to be pushy with mom and dad.

Mom and Dad deserve to be on vacation with at a place like Hilton Head rental and not worrying about bills and paying someone else their money for a product they probably can do with out. I was fairly disturbed this morning when the lady was telling me, mom and dad told her I have allergies and this air purifier was a cure all. When people start telling me it will heal my allergies and asthma it worries me for other people. I do not fall into this trap very easily because I know from experience not to stop meds or claim oh gee it takes away asthma. I will say my asthma has gotten better since I have been more careful with what I am eating. Food allergies are really the only thing a person to deal with because you just have to remove that irritants in your diet. Respiratory allergies due to pollen and other things like it I do not believe can be cured by a air purifier because those will always be in the air.

Next weekend we will need to go and find out where mom and dad are financially, talk to their neighbors who are preparing meals, and cleaning for them. We need to find out how they are doing and if there are any more concerns for their well being.

Last night my husband and I got a pizza, bread sticks and cookie dough from Papa Murphy’s. We like their pizza it’s nice because you get to choose when to eat the pizza and the pizza is never cold! We have done delivery a few times but it always takes pizza at least half hour sometimes closer to 2 hours if it even arrives. It easier to just drive the mile up the road and get the pizza we want, the funny thing is the delivery place for pizza here is like about a mile to maybe 2 miles. I just don’t get why it takes more then 45 minutes every time we order a pizza from them. Papa Murphy’s, you walk in order the pizza you want if they have no line then it takes under 5 minutes to get the pizza and go, a line might take a little longer but still quicker then ordering out and a whole lot cheaper, for everything last night it was under $16

My biggest complaint about Papa Murphy’s is that they do not give enough red sauce with their cheese bread. They give enough for maybe one person, the guy gave us a sauce for free but even with that we still do not have even close to enough red sauce.  It is amazing how little red sauce they give when they sell how many bread sticks in a thing, about 12, you’d think they give enough sauce to cover 12 of them at least.

I know I can always go to the grocery store in the same shopping center, it not that big of a deal but it would be nice to get everything I need in one stop.  There customer service has always been good, never have had a issue with them yet.

Here’s how it went with the brat at Brueggers Bagel, I don’t have to ask you what you want you order the Salmon Bagel. This is really not a good way to get my husband to be friendly to you nor me. I do think I might be a little more patent to a point with rude Customer Service workers. Okay Young man, you may want to listen to a bit of advice, because you will not have your job to much longer if people call management and complain about your rudeness. Not everyone who wants a Salmon sandwich wants Tomatoes or Onion on them, nor do they want it cut into 4 pieces. Twice this brat decided it was okay to be very rude to my husband. I think we should have walked out.

On Friday night, normally my husband and I go out to eat, it is easier now since he working at the church, so I meet my husband. I normally take the bus out to meet him, it just easier to have one car there, so this is what we do. We should have went to our little Kosher deli it would have been less of a headache! We got to Brueggers bagel. I order, and most would think I am being pushy and rude but honestly I am not. Funny thing is he was almost polite to me, I told him First I would like to start with a Asiago bagel toasted please. He asked me if I wanted it toast well or light. I told him medium. Okay no problem here, then I ask him for PLain cream cheese and Salmon because I want the Sandwich and I would like Sprouts, Onions and No tomatoes but I want the tomato paste that went well, so I thought. I found out after sitting down at church my bagel had Jalapenoes on it. Not good but oh well. Now my husband Order is where it just went all to heck.
Maybe this kid does not like men, I don’t know he was so rude to my husband. I will give him sometimes my hubby isn’t the most clearest person and he tends to say what he wants but does think sometimes people just don’t get it. My husband is nice and sweet but he doesn’t deal well with rudeness, neither do I. He cut my husband Bagel in 4 pieces right away, he didn’t even wait for my husband to tell what kind of bagel it was. When my husband asked him what he was doing the brat replied with snideness. Well you wanted a bagel and we precut them. My husband was yes but I wanted the some Salmon on it. The kid says something like Oh well, and puts his bagel together, then starts adding veggies my husband does not like. My husband asked him what are you doing I don’t want those, this brat told him I don’t have to ask you what you want you told me you wanted a salmon bagel.
Well geee dah, of course he wants a salmon bagel but that does not mean he wants everything that comes with it. When my husband told him this he should have treated my husband with respect and not smarted off to him. After we where checking out he was giving us both a attitude. I have worked in customer service so I know it is a hard job. I know how it’s like to be treated poorly and my husband wasn’t being rude or unkind to him. Trust me I would tell my husband in a heart beat if he being rude to someone, I have no problem telling him so.

I told this kid, You know when you have customer ask them how they want it, and it will help you avoid issues like this. I was trying to be nice and give him a piece of advice that has really helped me in customer service. When dealing with customers it is important to make sure that they feel valued. When a customer does not feel valued they may not come back to your store. I am very disappointed in his attitude with my husband, and I will probably call on Monday and complain to management because it was very rude and no customer should be treated like my husband and I was treated. I am sure companies like Branson property have figured out good customer service skills, I hope this young kid learns quickly.
