Make that three different frustrations. 

C) My daughter has been invited to an end of school year party after school on Friday. I won't let her go until I hear back from the inviting girls parent, who has yet to respond to my VMs. My daughter wants me to keep bugging the woman, which I'm not going to do.  I left my contact information, she can call me back.

I painted marble effects for the first time today. I whipped out the Bones Cthulu obelisk and went to town. I'm happy with it, it's not professional level, but it looks pretty cool, especially in the middle of the Temple of the Written Word. But the best thing about painting marble is, if you have a bit of a tremour in your hands, it's actually helpful. When you paint the little lines inside the bigger ones, it's supposed to look like lightning, so you want that jagged effect. BTW, that obelisk is a great sculpt and would look great any way you painted it.

Are there pix someplace? [ I hope so ]

A) customer wants a log in to our support pages, but has yet to provide an email address to us, which is required to set up an account.  We've been playing phone tag, and he hasn't bothered to email one in, or leave on his VM messages. 

If customer A hasn’t got an email address, they can’t “email one in”…?

 

(How are they making contact now?)

 

If you did get an email claiming to be from customer A how would your firm be certain it is them?

We require an email address for access to our support webpage for a few reasons, the biggest being password retrieval and document download.

We ask that customers email their request to us so that a) we actually get the spelling of their email address correct (there is a reason that the Military uses a phonetic alphabet - sadly most civilians are horrible with it), and b) there is site specific information they need to send in to verify they are who they say they are.

Very few of our customers don't have access to some sort of email address these days.

There is no reason for anyone with Internet Access to not have an email address, given the number of services available, from their ISP to gmail to you name it.

Seems to me that having email is equal in importance to having water available for anyone in the Car Wash business.

I don't know that I'd put it that way, but IMO, if you have point of sale equipment sophisticated enough to accept credit cards in this day and age, refusing to have an email address is being willfully difficult, if not outright stupid.

I see it this way;

The carwash doesn't operate without water.

The water of life for the business is money, which doesn't flow without an Internet Connection and all of the attendant support, a key part of which is Having A Valid Email Address.

I figured there were reasons. I managed to make it sound like I didn’t think there should be. My bad.

That makes sense. 
Customer A must at least have an email address assigned to them by their internet SP that connects the sites to credit card service.  I wonder if they know what it is. 
 

I used to have an:

Umpty.Whatsit@Charter…

email address. (I wonder whatever happened to it?)

 

I also once had a yahoo address but I think it died?

I prefer dodecaphobia:

 

A 12 letter word which is the fear of the number 12 — this might explain why the d12 is the least used dice type in RPGs.

@Glitterwolf gonna try that tomato and asparagus combo the next time I grill! Thanks!

Had a really nice day yesterday/ LadyC and I just kind of killed time most of the day,then went out for a nice dinner. Took her to shop for a bit, then home, watched the ballgame [Yeah, Cards won!] and then we stayed up watching Grimm.

Oh, and this is just for fun.
