If you're going to mail something Priority Mail within two states away and they tell you it will take three days, just go ahead and drive the package there yourself. It's been four days and it's still not there. I could have had it there in about ten hours.

I'll have to remember not to use Priority Mail; I send eBay items using First Class mail and it never seems to take more than three days - even to the West Coast.

I will strongly avoid 'family businesses' in the future. Also any 'regular' business that has strong family ties within the internal structure. In that situation if you're not at the table for Thanksgiving, you are at a severe disadvantage.

I wouldn't have taken this job if I wasn't desperate. I knew from the time of the interview that I was dealing with a whole dysfunctional family. They love the drama.

I never thought I would be looking forward to SS in January '14.

P.S. Hope the pain is easing a little.

To me, a successful day is one that put a smile on my face and on someone else's face, and I learned at least one thing.

The first one tried to make it about me, the second one, I just told him straight out that it was his fault. Never heard anything again from either one.
