Have you called and discussed this with an actual person? (I was gonna write 'an actual, live person' but the 'live' part is a given, right?)

Can you even talk to a real person from PayPal??

I did talk to real person......the real person was an idiot. They won't release the hold on my money. I'm not showing "consistency". That must be the new paypal mantra/code word. He couldn't tell me what that meant. only that it was to be determined at a later date.

I've had this daggone account for almost 4 months now. And they decide to put the hold on NOW???? Really???

So my auction funds are stalled and now I have to pay more PO cost so as to get the eggs on sat and not tues. Cause by tues they won't be worth the money I paid in the auction!

well that and technically since they are below the Mason-Dixon line, they are not yankees. However, you may have a hard time convincing anyone from virginia of that.

You should pull a Beaner on them, and ask for (and ream) the manager.

Batty, you are surrounded by idjits these days. Except for this thread, of course....

I am working through lunch again today.

....Every year, I am shocked and amazed how little people understand their own businesses. You would be disgusted to know how many business owners have zero clue about what TYPE of business they own----let alone what their tax filing status is.

Even WORSE,they ask ME ---as one of their customers---how they are supposed to know how much income to report to the IRS. Here is how those conversations are going:

Them: I didn't get a 1099.
Me: The W-9 you gave us says you are a corporation. You do not get a 1099.
Them: Well, how do I know how much I made? How much I need to report to the IRS?
Me: You would need to talk to your tax professional. They can help you out.
Them: Well, how do I know what to take to my tax guy?
Me: Dude, I am not your CPA. I can't give you tax advice.
Them: I am sorry, but I am new at this. Please take pity on me and hold my hand. Perhaps you could do hours of work on your company's time, go above and beyond the call of duty, and do extra work for me for free?
Me: My pity bucket is running low. You should have called after the 10th email I sent out.
Them: Pllllleeeeeeeaaaaase?
Me: Fine. You look at your company's financials for the year, and take that to the tax guy. Or, since I get the sense you are not that organized, at the very least take your bank statemnets, credit card statements, and other reciepts to your tax dude.
Them: Well can't you just tell me how much income I made?
Me: Are we your only customer?
Them: Of course not! That would be bad business.
Me: Then no.
Them: Is there someone else there who knows their "tax stuff" I can talk to?
Me: No.




Anywhoo...that has been my whole week. Month. 2011.

YAY FOR CHICKENS!

ooooo and to top it off I get a call from day dispatch because third shift dispatch claims they didn't know where I was last night. I said, well I talked to 2nd shift a couple times then I played poll and hung out int he break room til about 1 am. Then went and slept in my truck, which coincidentally is parked right outside the break room where the coffee pot is and the 3rd shift supervisor spends most of her time drinking coffee and smoking cigarettes.....and seeing how I was in a large rust colored dodge by the front door, I find it hard to believe I was "misplaced". And my cell was on all night.

So now,, the remedy? I have to "check in" with 3rd shift should i need to go anywhere or do anything. Case'n they "lose" me again. Cause it's very easy to misplace a 250# angry white girl.......

An older dude came into my office, looking for the owner. He was making chit chat while waiting for the gen mgr to get off the phone.

He jumped when my phone cut loose with a volume 8 rooster crow!!

He walked away really quick, and stood in the hallway to wait.

I forget to turn it down when I get to work some days....

Is that why I have a mug of my dad's that says, "Maryland is for crabs." and a t-shirt of dad's that says, "I got the crabs from Jim."

Jim's was a crab shack we used to get our bushels of steamed crabs from yearly plus it was my dad's name. But the fun thing was I went out on a date with a Jim and the next morning at a work meeting I wore it--my day off--and Jim was insulted.

He was too goofy for me...I just wanted to go hang out. Was that wrong? I mean, who names thier dog, Pembrook? What a snotty name.
