There are times when work gets frustrating, basically because I don’t fully understand the software environment I’m developing in. I have 3 books for reference. I have never been sent to any training. The only person who can help has been out of the office this week. I’m stuck. I’ve been through pages of documentation, tried a number of different solutions, but still I have this issue I can’t resolve. This is why software takes so long to develop. You get stuck on little stupid stuff, because you haven’t located the correct syntax to get the software to do what you want it to. Grrrrr.
The family room is all painted. Ready for carpet now.
The experience with getting money from the insurance company has been less then stellar. They sent us a check. We deposited it. Carpet is ordered and paid for the same day. I hear from the bank the next day. They can honor the check because our mortgage company is also listed as one of the payees, so they need an endorsement from the mortgage company to cash the check. Great. So we call the insurance company. They apologize for not telling us that the mortgage company needs to endorse the check before we can cash it. This is just in case we were back due on our mortgage payments, the mortgage company gets first dibs at the cash. So they put a stop payment on the check, will issue us a new one, which we in turn will have to send to the mortgage company, have them endorse it, send it back to us, at which point, we can deposit it. What a load of hooey. Of course we had to contact the carpet place and have them hold the check we wrote them for a couple days until payday, when there will be enough money in the account to cover the check. Of course, taking a thousand dollars out of the paycheck to cover carpet, sort of means that some bills won’t get paid. So I’m balancing what absolutely needs paid, like the loans that have their interest shoot up if your late on a payment, and paying what needs to be paid. This makes me all warm and fuzzy inside. Coupled with the frustrations at work, and I’m one great big happy camper.
