My dad was what you would call “Fired Up!” A lot. He was the one who taught me, if someone doesn’t do something they were supposed to do, like in a company or service you’ve paid for, he’d say, “get fired up!” Get the manager on the phone, if he doesn’t fix the problem, go to HIS manager. And keep going until you get what you’ve paid for.
Gosh, though, I’m tired. Why should I have to do all that follow up? Why can’t people just do what they are supposed to do? Right now, I am going through a refinance of our mortgage. If you’ve ever done this, I can picture you rolling your eyes at me right now. Because my wonderful husband is a Desert Storm Vet, he qualifies for a VA loan, which means super low interest rates for some high rated credit cards for us to pay off. So, in the end, it will be all worth it, but come on! I paid for the wood destroying insect report on Saturday, and it is now late Wednesday night and I still don’t have what I need. What’s the problem? If I could write the check, the least they could do was give me the service I needed, right? I had to call, wait on hold for 30 minutes, explain what I needed… blah, blah, blah. Just do what I asked for!
I feel like I am always back tracking to make sure everything was done, and done right. This is why my mind races, I have concluded that it’s actually my To Do List over and over again. I’m tired, can someone else check on things for me? Please?
STILL don’t have the report! Or the PAID invoice from Terminix for the lender… grrrrr
