The Vent

[Chica Yeyé 41]

My vent is that apparently I am clueless because I have missed any drama in the Canada forum. I guess I have been so caught up in my own woes that I haven't been reading this forum as much.

Mephys, I better not be on your ignore list! LOL

Come think about it.... either it is the dude who will run to the US and don't pay his Canadian creditors or I missed it too.... :unsure:

wow. such a long time, and no response from Mephys!!!

I'm devastated Apparently, it is me who Mephys wants to ignore. SOB SOB!!!

Nope It's not you

Sorry about the delay, I just went kill myself at a gigantic 3 stories IKEA for about 4 hours....my husband is sick so I didn't want to drag him around, but I needed some big boxes and took me forever to find my way around in there.....Montreal's IKEA is nothing compared to that one!!!

I am remodeling the kids bedroom so they can have more room to play

minor vent...

so hubby told me last week that on Wednesdays at work they have to stay a little longer because they are going to have this class.....

I guess they found out today that they aren't going to get paid for it but they are going to get pizza They have been having this little class during the meetings on Wednesday mornings but I guess the boss didn't like that they were essentially getting paid to take this class

My vent is that a company I applied to sends me through three interviews, then the VP tells me he wants me to speak with the guy who's leaving the position and then I find out today that someone else also applying for the same position (there were 2 roles to be filled) is now also competing for MY position!

Sorry if that makes not much sense. I find out their decision Thursday. I just am irked because the sales manager was really wanting to hire me but the VP is the guy that I'd be working under and it's now turned into a coin flip between me and some other person.

Vent on:

GRRRR. I'm home for the next two days. Dr. says I can't go back to work til Friday. This darn asthma is about to kick my hiney! We are doing state standardised testing this week...I NEED to be at work. Of course he did give me an option...he said I could "teach" from my hospital bed. It's so hard to get caught up when missing more than one day. Not sure what all brought it on but it culminated with a bad asthma attack on Monday night - hence the two days off. I guess this explains why I've felt like crud for the last couple weeks.

Vent off.

Oh Karen, I hope you feel better soon. And I know it is hard when you want to be at work, but remember that taking care of YOU is the most important thing right now.

[trailmix 77]

Marilyn, I'm so glad your first day went well!

Karen I hope you are feeling better very soon.

Dear Marylin, Brown Eyes and KarenCee,

I'm sorry to hear, mostly about your health KC.

Men can cook and/or learn and they need to be aware that they need to extend that to their partners too! Hmph!!!

I was so spoilt before meeting my current, non-cooking partner. All the men in my life love(d) to cook and made elaborate meals.

My man now, makes a wicked omelet, and that is about it.

Well, so....we go out a lot. Hahaha.

Oh wait, he has learnt how to cook (bake) chicken...from me!

Rocket science, I tell ya!!!

I, have gotten caught up in this kind of miscommunications as well...ya think that job is cinched and then....grrrr.

What the helll!!!

I hope you get BE.

Asthma is nothing to take lightly in this day and age.

Pollution being up and up....poor you KC.

Let's get more SUVs on the road to help. Grrrrr....ahem.

I hope you pull through this quickly and can get your strength back.

Do not worry so much about external things and concentrate on internal...like resting, destressing and healing.

They all go hand in hand.

ok my hubby just clarified this it seems that instead of having their weekly meetings Wednesday mornings they are going to have them after work now... I thought it was just the class...

****

oh and I know my hubby can cook.. he has done it before.... and he is quite good at it too...

argh, so I sold something on Ebay and mailed it off last week and they got the package on Monday...

the buyer payed through paypal the same day the auction ended but Paypal put the money on hold.. it said it would hold it for 21 days or until the package was confirmed delivered or if the buyer left me positive feedback on Ebay...

well, when I mailed off the package I posted the tracking number on Paypal like they asked so when I found out the got that package delivered on Monday I went to check Paypal and the money was still on hold and then I clicked on this link I hadn't really noticed before, where it says it fine print that once it is delivered it can take up to 3 days to confirm the delivery WTH??? so the person has had the item since Monday but here I still am with no money... we were needing that money to pay for hubby's classes... they need to be payed ASAP...

I would have saved up money for the classes but we found out too late that his work will only pay for the classes and books after the semester is over.. I guess that is good... that money can pay for his winter classes...

Wow that's weird! I sold some stuff on ebay and I don't ever remember a hold on the transactions!

Or is this your first sale or something and they have new rules?

[Flames9_RN 358]

it is my second sale... I think they might do this when the item you are selling is over a couple hundred dollars..

the first item I sold they didn't put the money on hold but that item sold for around 100 bucks...

[Marilyn. 340]

this is what it says on Paypal

Why are my payments being held?

Payment holds for eBay items are an effort to increase marketplace safety. We hold payments when we suspect a transaction may be risky. Here are the most common instances in which an eBay item payment may be held:

* You have been an eBay member for less than 6 months, and you sell an item for more than $100

* You have an eBay feedback score of less than 100, and you sell an item for more than $100

* You have a buyer dissatisfaction percentage* greater than 5%

* You have an average DSR of less than 4.5

* You have received fewer than 20 Detailed Seller Ratings in the last 12 months

* You are listing your item in a high-risk category such as gift certificates, video games, cell phones, computers, or consumer electronics.

When will PayPal release the hold?

Your funds will be released when one of the following occurs:

* The buyer leaves you positive feedback

* 3 days pass after proof the item was delivered** (why the heck do they need to wait 3 days??? )

* 21 days pass without a dispute, claim, chargeback, or reversal filed on the transaction

I am thinking the reason it is on hold is one of the reasons in bold

would it be weird if I emailed the buyer and asked him to leave me positive feedback??
