Reverse Rant! A RAVE review!
I feel like this year had given me a lot to...frankly WHINE about. My car accident case is going nowhere and i want to scream, I have never been as unhappy at work as I am now. I absolutely despise my newest coworker and my bosses behavior since said coworkers hiring is having me seriously consider going to HIS supervisor or HR, something I loathe to think about. My new mailman forced me to move my mailbox, a not easy task as it was set in concrete and I really thought I was done fighting with the post office after the horrible creature before him left. I could go on and on. But today, my hope in mankind was restored.
I ordered some fun new earrings from an Etsy store. 3 pairs: Tiny little ranch dressing bottles, tiny little packs of bacon, and tiny little boxes of those awful tasting conversation hearts. They are mini brands made into earrings and I love collecting them and wearing them. Anyway, they were delivered into my now moved mailbox, and the package itself looked like it had been run over, tossed in the mud, run over again and then shoved in my mailbox like nothing happened., Like I wouldn't notice that every item was flattened or smashed. I was SO disappointed.
I sent a message and pictures to the etsy seller, asking her what to do. I sent the message in my kitchen, walked back to my bedroom, laid down, decided at that second to check my email just to see if anything needed attention, and she had already responded. In less than 2 minutes, she responded and said she would be sending me replacements, to not worry about filing a claim with USPS as they will just ignore it, and told me she would be sending me a free pair for the trouble. The trouble that SHE had NOTHING to do with causing. She said she noticed that I had liked some other items in her shop and she would pick one of those to send.
So if any of you want some funny earrings to wear, I recommend MichiganMomShop on Etsy. I am so happy and hope that they get here safely this time, despite the post office!
Here is a picture of my poor little ranch earrings, flattened and smashed. :(
Do any of you have any recent good customer service stories to share???

rant: recipe reviews without trying the recipe
Comments (28)I've been thinking about this. I usually look at all the reviews and find the ones in the middle that overlap. If there a million of them that say the sauce was too salty, I go with less salt. I toss the ones that sub unless I see how the sub makes more sense than what the recipe has. Or if I don't have what is needed, but someone substituted what I do have. Don't most sites require the rating before comments? I wish they were separate. It's those who give low stars after subbing everything that make me laugh. I just think "Maybe if you didn't change the recipe completely, it would've been great? Hello?" HA! I have two 1/8 measuring cups and use them constantly, more than others! It's great when I want to make a roux, because most recipes call for 2T of butter and 2T of flour. So one scoop and toss it into the pan. Love my 1/8 cups. I did have an 1/8t measuring spoon, but it's gone? :( I need to buy a new set. Maybe I'll go do that now......See MoreNew Iron (disclaimer...long rant)
Comments (8)I've not had an iron I've ever been happy with until a few years ago. This may sound terrible, but we found a Rowenta in my SIL storage unit after she had passed away...best darn iron I've ever used! I took a quilting class a few years ago and the first words out of the instructors mouth were , " Ladies, Do Not use steam for piecing or quilting...period end of discussion". She went on and on about how it stretches your cottons etc.....then I go to my first retreat and everyone is using steam?..I was surprized. As a normal rule I don't use steam, but I really think it has to do with the way you press....any thoughts on steam or dry iron? V....See MoreDo you have a person like this in your life? A rant
Comments (58)Hi again aprile, I've been considering your situation some, since reading your original post. You need some emotional space between you. Don't let him pull this passive-aggressive business on you. Don't let him push your buttons. How would he react if you began to rather laugh at these sillinesses? In something of a light-hearted way, not coming across as mean-spirited and bitter. I hope that you can find some ways to resolve some of these issues between you. Do you have some person who cares about you, and is level-headed and sensible, whether professionally trained or not, who can listen and be helpful as you work your way through this troubling situation? Maybe a faith-related person, who'll listen, consider your situation and you and not just offer a bunch of pre-digested nostrums, that are given as the answer to every person's need, regardless of their individual circumstance. I wonder some about your dad inhabiting his own little emotional cubbyhole - is there some way to help him get a larger view of life, and feel more at home in it? Has he dealt with counselling, or would he be amenable to such? Is there someone whom he trusts, to whom he might pay attention, were they to suggest it and encourage him? ole joyful...See Morework place rant (Long)
Comments (34)I agree with all of the above. My sister went through something similar. After rave reviews, all of a sudden there was ridiculous nitpicking. Luckily, she was nearing retirement, but she wanted to end her career WHEN SHE wanted to. Not be pushed out. She realized that through the years she was very vocal about protocol. Always honest and realized certain things were being overlooked on purpose due to financial reason. She felt that as long as the patients were not in any danger, she would follow the "new" protocol and keep her mouth shut. She too realized they could hire two fresh out of school therapists for the salary she was getting. It's all business, but you can't help but take it personally. Because we have feelings! Especially in a place that you have invested 25 years. But, if you want to stay, you need to find a way to do so. I would document everything as suggested already so if you are unexpectantly pushed out, you can have cause to show discrimination. At the very least, you deserve unemployment....See More
