Nocturne Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 your name makes so much more sense now. I'm sure you'd mentioned three kids before but it obviosuly didn't sink in. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadcubed Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 your name makes so much more sense now. I'm sure you'd mentioned three kids before but it obviosuly didn't sink in. Indeed! Triplets. That's 3 x 3 year olds at present. I've never done anything more difficult in my life. No job, even the insane jobs beat this for everything. I'm a house husband too. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seer of the Pitt Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 My first car, a red with white interior 1977 Monte Carlo, was named "The Fire Engine" appropiately enough, since it was a former fire chief's work vehicle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Sundseth Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 I used to own a 1970 Chevelle Malibu with a 307 V8. It had a 2-speed aluminum Powerglide transmission. When the transmission lost access to the top gear, I found out that it would do 50 mph quite comfortably in first gear. And it burned about a pint of oil per tank of gas. Got to love that '70s Detroit quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buglips*the*goblin Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 I finally got my Escoda Kolinskys. There seems to have been some considerable confusion with that order. Evidently they were not on sale, and some miscommunication occured when selecting the various options. Instead of 15 brushes (7 0 and 8 00) I only got the seven 0's. I don't especially care, except that if I'd understood (or explained my wishes) more clearly I'd have gone 4 0 and 4 00. In the meantime, 7 0's will take care of business for a while. I was getting pretty desperate for new brushes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator OneBoot Posted October 9, 2013 Moderator Share Posted October 9, 2013 They didn't charge you for the 8 #00's you didn't get, did they? I've had that happen before, it's all sorts of fun (not) trying to sort things out afterward. Huzzah! --OneBoot :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokingwreckage Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Dadcubed: parenting is hard work. Regardless of whether you're a mum or a dad, when people ask "what do you do?" and you say "I'm a parent", be proud. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buglips*the*goblin Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 (edited) They didn't charge you for the 8 #00's you didn't get, did they? I've had that happen before, it's all sorts of fun (not) trying to sort things out afterward. Huzzah! --OneBoot :D Nope. I think where it went wrong was that I originally asked for 8 of each, and then the girl said the 0's didn't have enough to make 8, and I said: "Well, just give me 7 0's then and it'll be fine." I meant 7 0's and the 8 00's. She may have interpreted it as just the 7 0's. And it may be the the 00's were on sale, but the 0's were not. Invoice only lists 7 0's, and the math is right. ETA: In circumstances like this, where something proceeds differently than I expected, when I troubleshoot I always first look at things that might have been caused by confusion or error on my end, before registering a complaint. I worked phone-in help lines, I didn't like being yelled at all day. I will get angry, but only when faced with intractable stupidity or failure to listen. Even then it will take multiple attempts to rouse my ire. People who call me, however, are fair game. If I say "no I don't want x new service on my credit card" no means no. No does not mean continue talking for five minutes trying to convince me that no really means yes. They may be instructed to do so, but I don't like having my time wasted by a hard sell - and my patience and politeness can evaporate rapidly when people do that.

Thes Hunter Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 If I'm angry at a company, I try to make it very clear to the person on the phone that it's the company that has my ire, but that they personally are awesome. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
