WHAT MADE YOU GRIMACE & GRIT YOUR TEETH TODAY?

Not that it's any consolation, but you could probably sue the jerk.

Using what for money?

Sorry, I'm having a particularly dense day.
I don't understand.

I'm not certain but I took it to mean that it'd cost to bring the suit (lawyers, etc.) and that msolga doesn't have much extra money laying around...

Yuppers.

I see.

Also...thank heavens...Oz isn't as insanely litigous as the USA...yet.

Be grateful for small mercies.

Oof not a fun day. Nothing I loaded today worked. Absolutely nothing. The silver lining is that at least I was home during this. So the wash got done.

Just found out my best friend has been told she has bone cancer. We'll find out more next Tuesday. Not a good day!

So sorry to hear that, Tarah.

So sorry too Tarah...

Me too, Tarah. Oof.

Thanks so much for that. In the last couple of years I've lost two other friends and although it's terribly sad, I didn't see them very often. This lady is one of the mainstays of my life and I'm willing her to get better. Maybe the doctor will give her good news on Tuesday. We'll see. Thanks again everyone.

Let us know.

Thanks for your concern, George.
Actually, I'm more offended & put out that this fellow didn't have the decency to tell his customers what had happened. I mean, any employer can have the misfortune to have unethical employees ... but it's quite another thing, having sacked this employee, to have left his customers in the dark, when their computeres were at risk. I honestly thought he was better than that.
I suppose he's received his "punishment" though .... many of his customers are now former customers & I gather he has been sued (or some form of legal action has been taken) by one of the companies whose products he sold. He's now in the process of selling the building that houses his business & it looks like his business will be home-based again - where he started out, something like 15 years ago. So .......

Sometimes justice (as well as that other stuff) happens.
Glad to see you took quick action to safeguard yourself.

Thank you!
I hope everything is OK. Time will tell, hey?

Grrr...

Some newish neighbors of ours that we have been friendly with invited us and one other family to dinner tonight. Great, thanks!

The invitation was made Monday or so, first in person and then via email when I requested it, to make sure I got the details right. (She is not American and has a fairly distracting accent.) We reiterated that email was the best way to contact me during that exchange (she knows I'm deaf). Wednesday night, sozlet got sick (barfed). I kept her home Thursday and sent an email that day to neighbor responding to a question and also saying (here I quote,):



Neighbor then wrote back saying what time she'd like us to be there (6).*

Sozlet barfed again last night. This morning, at 7:24 AM, I sent the following email:



At 6:25 PM, the phone rang. Sozlet answered (E.G. isn't home yet). It was neighbor person wondering where we were! (She hadn't checked her email yet today evidently.)

Grimace, grit, grind, grrrrrrrrrr....

*So she read the email saying that sozlet was sick and that I would update her later. It might be a comprehension thing, not sure. She seems fluent, just has an accent. Her emails are flawlessly colloquial/ conversational.

Ugh, I hate it when wires get crossed like this, soz.

Probably the quickest & smoothest way out of this (though you did all the right things) is simply to knock on her door & briefly explain that there's been a communication stuff up. Better than having bad feelings lingering, lingering, lingering ...

A thought: any chance that someone else was doing the emailing on her behalf? (Given a possible language problem) & hasn't properly filled her in on your messages?
