I got another supervisor on the phone, she acknowledged receipt of the letter faxed and said now they would do another search for the package.  And I went BERSERK.  I told her I was the one guy she did not want to do this with, that I would launch a class action lawsuit and that I had hundreds if not thousands who would go along with it, and that I wasn't getting off the phone until she gave me an exact date the check was being cut and sent.  She heard me loud and clear, apologized on behalf of UPS, and said the new search would only take one day and that the check would definitely be cut on Tuesday and sent - and that she'd just put a rush on it so that I would have it in seventy-two hours after they post it.  I wrote all of that down.


I hope you told her that you didn't want the check sent by UPS.

HURRAY!!

At last!!


I hope that you'll soon see the end of this and it'll be HISTORY!



I've been having fun putting things away. It took me forever to find the bathroom trash bin. I could not think where I'd stored it. I've got about 30 years of expired drugs to pitch out.

LOL, I imagine you are sitting on the toilet looking up at the ceiling and smiling....it's quite a disturbing image ;)

We had some nasty looking clouds go over today when I was mowing the yard.  It was really hot and humid as I mowed, I got it done and went to the baseball game.  By the time I got to the park, it was about 20 degrees cooler and everyone was in jackets and sweatshirts.   I was in a t shirt and shorts, but lasted until the 8th inning before I got cold and went home.    just glad the lawn is mowed.

This was a very long week.  Don't know if it's because we were gone last week or because there was a lot of crazy stuff going on but I'm REALLY glad tomorrow is Friday.  I am looking forward to doing nothing this weekend.  I may go to the outdoor pops concert by the Symphony Saturday night, but I may not.

If anyone is looking for something uplifting on Netflix streaming--more uplifting than GRAND PIANO, that is--I'd suggest:

For John G.:  Regarding the FB photo.  I have done about 10 different plays that had "murder" in the title.  I think this one was called MURDER BY THE BOOK.

Today, I got to work and went directly into a budget meeting, then had just enough time for lunch before I had to go to another meeting with the people that my supervisor supervises, and then as soon as that meeting got over, I had just a little break before we had our monthly staff meeting, and then as soon as THAT was over, we all went to a retirement get-together for one of the women in the communications department (which actually started at the same time as the monthly staff meeting...WTF?).

The retirement get-together was really nice.  She's very much looking forward to it.  I think she's retiring early because she can.  She's going to take a few weeks and just "be," and then visit her grandkids back east for a couple of months.

After DR SINGDAW first mentioned GRAND PIANO.....I found it online on one of "those" sites and was able to download it to take a look.

It is everything that is written about in the notes....and more!!! 

TOD:

The Apple

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0BY9cvgrP1c

It has been said that free soundtracks to THE APPLE were given away on opening day in Los Angeles....and that the theatre screen was destroyed when audience members began throwing the LP's at the screen during the movie.....

The Apple is also available on Netflix.  That's where I watched it.  It's definitely on my Topic of the Day list. ;)

Tomorrow's ROBERTA session could be grisly. I'm already getting defensive emails from Judy about "can we cut . . .?"  Please send good vibes! They may be essential.

This is so sad: Richard Rodgers daughter Mary ihas died. I knew she'd been ill with cancer, but this is really upsetting.
http://www.broadwayworld.com/article/Broadway-Composer-Mary-Rodgers-Guettel-Passes-Away-at-83-20140626#.U6yTNmcbhMI

She and I were both huge fans of "Bye and Bye" from Dearest Enemy, and when I restored the score in 2002, I wrote the Act Two Intermezzo as a love letter to her. She was always very kind to me.

I'd read this earlier today. :(

I had UPS package my mother's sewing machine to send to my sister. They packed it. They charged me $98. And they broke it.

Damn them!  Damn them to hell!! >:(

Back tn the day  they used to have a huge  warehouse down  in Peachtree, GA where all the unidentifiable packages  and/or package contents would end up

my proudest moment  from my UPS experience is when I spent two whole days  calling all over the country until I was able to trace the contents  of a package being  sent cross country  that had never arrived

The contents were located in the Peachtree warehouse   t

It contained a wedding dress-  the brides' grandmother's wedding dress that had been worn by her mother and  her sisters before her


his was back before computers or even fax machines   so we had to do this by the bride describing to me in detail the dress, the packaging etc and me repeating the description  over and over until the dress was found


and we got it back to her pressed, cleaned and in time for her wedding

That's a great story, Vixmom.
