Now, most of you know that I don't get mad really easily, but let me warn you, when I do get mad, it ain't pretty! This morning, when I got to work, my cell phone isn't working, nor is our phone line here at the store........seems my dad (who is in charge of AP) hasn't paid them so they cut them off!@!!!!
ARRRRRRRGGGGHHH!!! Normally, I wouldn't care, but these are the numbers that are on the business cards given out to the drug reps at the local dr's offices to get in touch with us about doing their catered lunches (what will be our biggest moneymaker!)!!!!!! When I found this out, I almost blew a gasket, to say the least! I knew he told me we didn't have the money to pay it this month, well geez, no wonder! It's for three months and is just over $900!! There is no way to pay it in full right now, its just not possible! I currently have an email in to Bellsouth, hoping to arrange some kind of partial payment and get at least the phone here back on, and keep the DSL line (why its still on, I don't know)........so how about some good vibes that they'll work with me on this guys, please?!! Oh, and if you don't see me around anytime today before quitting time you'll know that the DSL line went kaput too. Oh, and anyone want to come and check my blood pressure right about now?!

Cindy don't stress yourself because it's just not worth it!


Like Susie said have a word with the phone company to work something out because if they get they normally get their payments they should be ok.

When you say your dad is in charge of AP, what does that mean?

Susan, AP stands for "Accounts Payable", meaning he's in charge of all the bills........usually he writes the checks and I sign 'em, but the phone bill is an online payment, and my siggy isn't needed for that.

LOL! I had to laugh, Susan, thanks for that! I really wondered about you, 'cause I thought you worked in an office......

I think we're about to do some major changing around here, and bless his heart, I think its a good thing he was off this morning, or I might have gone totally balls up ballistic at him! I have at least cooled off some now, not totally, just some!

Cindy I'm so sorry--what a crappy way to start your day.
I'm sure you'll be able to make use of your southern charms and sweet talk the phone company into working out a payment plan with you

Sigh....and its just lunchtime.....ugh!

OTOP, I did at least get lasagna for lunch today!
