The way my credit union deals with Google Pay. I have a small $75 payment hung up in transfer (Google sent it to my card Tuesday at 5:10 pm, still nothing at 9 am Thursday morning), when payments as large as $600 have sailed through in minutes.
My cats and I have not eaten since Tuesday. This is really infuriating.
ETA: Edited fer teh grammers.
UPDATE: Money deposited at 10 am Thursday. Happy now, but still critical that a small payment should require that much delay/scrutiny no matter where it comes from.
Just had to pick up my adult daughter from her therapy appointment because the nausea and pain hit her so hard she had to leave mid-session and couldnāt get home on her own. I never had difficult periods when young (irregular, yes, but not painful), so I really feel for people like you and her having to deal with this. It seems so unfair.
Everything at work seems to be breaking at the same time.
Okay, not everything, but enough Critical Issues are happening that I canāt focus on any one long enough to get anywhere.
Primary Issue 1 - Best person is on vacation and canāt be reached
Primary Issue 2 - Lots of people involved, still donāt know root cause, and honestly the best person for triaging it is out of the loop
Primary Issue 3 - Well, that guy left last week.
On top of a lot of minor annoyances that are becoming more bothersome as Iām down two people and donāt have time to mind the little things.
I had a whole rant typed up. A veritable Rage against the Washing Machine. But, it just sounded bitchy.
But Iām still sick and tired of Laundry. And the people who do it halfway and the people who donāt do it all. And the people who canāt put it away. And the people who end up throwing clean laundry back on the dirty laundry because it was faster/easier/more convenient then actually hanging it back up.
Itās 2018 and we were promised flying cars and shit and all I really want is automated laundry that fucking works. Wash/dry/fold/put away by robots. THAT would be some progress.
The asshole who threw his dogās poop in our empty garbage can, sitting on the street shortly after the garbage folks came. In a plastic bag, but still . . .
I just discovered that moths have eaten two non-reparable holes in a designer tunic I paid $350 for and really liked.
I bought it to wear to a family wedding over a skirt. Since then, it had been making regular appearances over dress pants at work. It was my āIām feeling grumpy so Iām going to wear this item of clothing which feels like a PJ top but is actually more dressy than I usually wearā top.
FUCK stoopid cloth-eating insects. And Iāve been told that unless I get rid of every scrap of clothing, every bit of upholstery, every carpet, every towel, thereās no real getting rid of them.
And now I just got some household chores done, and was settling down to do homework for an hour as a reward (yes reward, I really like this course!) when I accidentally knocked over a full glass of water onto the floor. Fortunately the glass didnāt break, but I just finished mopping up as much of the water a I could.
Itās soaked into a corner of the carpet. And it missed the power bar by centimetres.
I am having a night full of stupid things going wrong. Wah.
You could try washing in warm and/or hot water, separating the tunic from other clothes between washes, and puting the tunic in good sunlight for a few weeks.
That is very good advice. I have been working on it, but am not quite there yet. Just a few more things to do before bed (must get done or else tomorrow will suck ā for instance, I just finished making breakfast and lunch to bring to work tomorrow, as food proms are bloody awful around the office).
Iāve been a volunteer officer for an organization for a long time. We teach scientists to code for research purposes. I generally feel like my labor is rewarded, since I maintain some open source teaching materials that I use quite a bit. But I also feel substantially disrespected by the organization. Friday, I put out a call on twitter for community members to test drive some new matierals. They didnāt retweet it. But they did retweet a bunch of āI think X organization is so great!ā Tweets. It just grinds my gears because I feel like Iām trying to get the community more involved in support of our mission, and Iām getting zero support from the organization.
I donāt know where it is coming from at this point.
Hypothetically speaking, if you employ a young person to help around the house ā Light cleaning, dishes, maybe wash some clothes ā Make sure the young person KNOWS HOW TO DO LAUNDRY.
Iām not judging, but at 17 years of age, I knew how to do laundry. They could fold and put away fine. It was the separating, washing properly sized loads and remembering to swap them between washer and dryer that seemed to be the main issues.
Now, not knowing how to do laundry is one thing. Not teaching someone you know doesnāt know how to do laundry is another. Grrrrrr.
