'Heart Of Gold'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
It might be a math error...Hush you. You are harshing my mellow. With that, I am at the dealership. Did not wake at 7 to get here first. Woke at 10, and exhausted. Tons of spoons to ND!!
Service rep hasn't a clue what problem is until they check it. That won't be until at least 2. Waiting for shuttle service to take me home so i can sleep, shower, and eat.
Argh. I just spent an hour wrapping my mom's gifts (I get weirdly obsessive, which would be fine if I didn't always wait until the last minute) and am now eating a quick bite before heading to the post office and then JF. Man, I wish I didn't have to go. My hip is killing me again, and I don't think riding a bike 35 minutes each way is going to help.
Poor ND. He's really exhausted and overwhelmed with work. He's been working 12-16 hour days for weeks without any time off, yet because some businesses are slow to pay, we are scrambling to pay the bills. I know this is part of owning your own small business, but I just want him to be able to take a day off.
Pix, that sucks so badly.
Thank god, I just got out of my volunteer shift. I feel badly, and I'm bummed, but the pain just keeps getting worse and worse. Going to head to the post office and then come home and take some Tylenol with codeine.
Weirdly, I'm also getting an anxiety attack. Really, body, WTF?
smonster, when my mom used to get panic attacks, her therapist told her to take a swig of lemon juice, or a big bite of lemon. (Doesn't work for me, since I loooove lemon) but it focuses the body on "ARRRGHHHH! TARRRRRTT!" rather than ARGGH PANIC.
She used to keep a little squeezy lemon in her purse for a long time.
Yeah, my DH's biggest client hasn't paid him since January. Sucks.
Erin,
man, that sounds like great advice. I think I'm going to try it.
Home from dealership. Shuttle took forever, but driver was cool. Now, it's a waiting game. I feel nakie with no car at my disposal.
Worked for mom for years! Hope it helps you out, le_nubian.
Pix, ND don't know if the following is possible in this economy but: years ago there used to be businesses who would buy slow pay accounts receivables at a discount. Not collection agencies, but more people who could afford to wait for their money. In those days they expected a ten to 20 percent discount, and since they normally collected in 120 days or fewer that is like a 40% to 60% annual return for them. But because they were not collection agencies they did not alienate customers with collection agency type tactics unless they got really behind - like more than 4 months behind.
Again, this is a whole different economy than when I used these services, so I don't know if they still exist, but if it sounds worthwhile you could investigate.
