One WEIRD-ASS Day (or it's just ANOTHER!!!)!!!

 

Trust me -- WEIRDER THINGS have happened!!!

 

 

And SOME I could TESTIFY to . . .

 

 

 

 

 

>>> THE DAY, SO FAR:

 

 

 

1. First things first, so I KNEW I had to try to resolve things with Mailboxes, Etc., and met with Jessica to learn:

A. That gentleman is NOT her former husband -- and not gay, either!!!

B. Turns out the kit for an end table made in RAW PINE (I just now learned from Falconer St. Just), which cost him somewhere between $350.00 - $450.00 USD for a KIT, was NOT returned by Mexican customs after about a 3.5 week examination period, but CONFISCATED!!!

I don't know WHY, but it sounds SERIOUS that they would not return it as originally planned.

C. Given all the other concerns, I did not ask, but had already sort of figured that since the kit had been on an official SHIPPING MANIFEST of Mailboxes, Etc. (as the gentleman told me about a week ago), and Jessica then about to take a week's vacation, it is PERFECTLY LOGICAL that to get things ready for vacation that she assumed it was en route and billed me.

UNFORTUNATELY, this does NOT explain HOW or WHY it was on an OFFICIAL MAILBOXES, ETC., in Miami manifest if the Mexican Customs people NEVER RELEASED IT AT ALL!!!
 

D. My accountant sent TWO checks as most overages were on one check that has been cashed and applied to various charges, mostly for impulse items Falconer packed HUGELY and unnecessarily, so HIS shipping charges for the month totaled about $800.00 beyond my monthly allowance -- plus he LOST the $400.00 table, so $1,200.00 with me actually receiving about $40.00 worth of usable items.

I'd be SO MUCH BETTER buying locally -- or Falconer should CONSULT WITH ME about what he's buying for me, no???
 

But I just spoke with him, and he's sending me a bit more.

2. But going to my car originally, I thought I should look down the "cliff" for my lost flip-flop (my fave pair), and my mama-cat Melanie UNCHARACTERISTICALLY ran out ahead of me and down the path on the slope. Near the base of the hill, she sat, staring into the weeds. It seemed off where I thought I had been, but she seemed so HUMAN, I climbed down, and right where she stared, I found the flip-flop hidden under the weeds.

My cat is actually a DOG!!!

3. I tried to get some cash from a Santander bank location ATM, and there were TWO MACHINES there and the other one was actually dispensing cash to people with Bank of America debit cards like mine, but FOUR TIMES I TRIED over ten minutes and EACH TIME my attempt was CANCELLED by "The System"!!!

The Santander Bank person did not understand, and said I probably needed to just wait a bit, but when I got home and checked email, I had one from BoA saying they had SHUT DOWN my debit card DUE TO SUSPICIOUS ATTEMPTS TO USE IT. I called and those CANCELLED attempts were the trigger!!! We could make NO SENSE of them, but my card was "refreshed", and then I was transferred to a specialist with whom I spoke for about 20 minutes as BoA apparently has a HOLE in security and the CIA/NSA hackers had done the mischief, and BoA will look into fixing their software.

 

 

4. Back to Mailboxes, Etc., I forgot to mention that the SECOND check from Benefits Management for $251.00 USD has been HELD by them and they will cash it and pay me that amount in pesos tomorrow, they just having made their daily deposit so had little cash-on-hand.

 

 

All things considered, I had to tell Jessica (who was the PICTURE of PROFESSIONALISM throughout), that I felt FORCED to restore her to "Jewry", and she immediately returned that she takes nothing personally and it AIN'T UP TO ME!!!

 

 

This was MORE PROOF that I am NOT Jesus Retorno or Redeemer-the-First-Timer, as I have ALWAYS said, and I will soon modify previous comments about Jess -- although she said she really didn't care WHAT I left on blog.
