30%?!?!?!?! I would say "You're JOKING!!", but I know you're not. It's really unfortunate that there's not some governing body that
you can report this to, b/c it seems like the banks you're dealing with have no interest in selling you a house, short or otherwise. At least you know your
neighbors where you are, right?

Wow, I really feel for both of you. Buying a house is stressful enough without all the bank hassles. I wish someone would have given me an out on the PMI
thing. I really resent paying insurance because they are afraid I won't pay my mortgage. Of course, my realtor told me that by this time, I would be able
to have my house reassessed and would be able to drop the PMI. Oh wait, the housing market tanked and my house is not worth what I paid for it. Grrrrrrrrrrr.

I love 3 day weekends until they are over. I always need another day to recover from them.

Exactly. Also, the work does not stop piling up, so you have like the weekend's work, plus today's. And all for the same pay! And we had a
system....not exactly crash, but not give us the output we were hoping for, so all of June had to be redone. Between Thursday and noon today. Someone wake me
when it's time to go home.

I hope you have some cocktails left over from the 4th. It sounds like you are going to need it.

You know how some companies offer rotating positions? Like, you keep your job, but for six months or eight months or whatever you go do something else to learn
about a different part of the company? Well, we have a rotating liquor cabinet. Fortunately, Facilities blows at keeping up with those little metal filing
cabinets that have wheels on them and fit neatly under a desk.
Voila. Happy hour any time. We figure if we keep rotating the key and the cabinet (in opposite directions), it will be much much more difficult for any managers to spot what's going on. We think. Of course, drunken brawls bring a LOT of unwanted attention to any group.

I would want to work with you but the job sounds like it's soul sucking.

The good news is that it would be a big step up to soul sucking. And at least we aren't (to my knowledge) freezing employees in the basement. Or India. (If
you haven't, you might check out the Better Off Ted thread). There are lots of perks that I usually fail to mention. Like, the boss has been gone to lunch
for more than an hour now.

Did I mention I take in baked goods once a month for my crew? Friday is my day this month, I pick a date a random makes them keep guessing. Blueberry scones
with clotted cream, Cinnamon apple coffeecake, an egg and cheese strata and some OJ, we have a coffee maker in the dept. already. I try to keep my department
happy.

Can you make people disappear? I'm in serious need of making a few people just cease to exist. Free champagne for that!

I'd certainly be willing to make the attempt.

I feel for those sales people after all, I used to be one. The bad ones ruin it though. I love it when I run into a good one who will match my needs instead of
trying to force me into something that I don't want. Some colleagues of mine could never figure out how I could always come out on top when I was known for
telling doctors when a different drug might be a better choice for a patient than mine. If you have no integrity you have nothing.

I don't hate all sales people just the one who can't take no for an answer or try to sell me things I don't need. I really do not need fax machines
or CRM solutions or marketing software, really I don't.

I had a day that made me feel like I was on vacation. I spent the whole day at the beach with my family. Everyone is sunburnt but happy. It's amazing how
much faster time flies when you are on a beach.

Isn't it? Lucky girl. Call me next time. lol, I'll go as a chaperone. Make sure everyone knows that there is sunscreen (although I'm pretty lax
about making sure everyone wears it.)
Sadly, I cannot make sales people disappear. It's rare that I can get them to tell the truth about the product they're selling. Everyone and their brother wants to sell to us. Many, many people have put us on the brochures before the sale is ever made. We have found that people who don't have a snowball's chance of selling us their product are especially good at this. I think I'd like to be a brochure printer in my next life.

I don't actually know any salespeople myself. What kind of salespeople? Because there are varrying degrees of annoyance I feel, depending. For example, I
had salespeople stalking me at the furniture store. They get you at the door and then they pop up periodocally. You go around a corner and *poof*, there's
that same person that greeted you at the door! I think they assign themselves the people that walk through the door and keep track of their location at all
times. Because there were other sales people around and it was the SAME one that always asked us (over and over) if we were still doing okay.
 But those and car salespeople are the only ones that have
really annoyed me.
In other news, I finally closed on the house yesterday. I have never signed so many papers in my life. I'm glad it's finally done and that I can get into the house now, but after waiting two months to close, it's kind of anticlimatic. The excitement went away after about three weeks.  Today, all the utilities are getting installled, yay!
It's too hot to move without AC.
