A Rant on a Tuesday Morning

No, no rant from me.  I woke up and saw an alert from an eBay buyer.  I tried relisting a lot of the makeup I bought awhile back to see if I could make some extra change.  I mean change, not money.  I may have made less than $15?  I'm not sure.  The purpose was to get rid of what I had and I put a lot of it at a low price like a $1.  I knew I was taking a loss for the most part but I accept it and I just wanted to see if I could get rid of anything.

I sold a mascara by e.l.f. for a $1.  Actually 99 cents.  What's nice about make up is that I have a ton of smaller envelopes and it's easy to package up. I know I shouldn't do this but I have put it in this mailbox near where I walk.  I don't think too many thieves want mascara.  Normally I take it to the post office but I knew I wasn't going to make that weekend and I mailed it.

I got a nasty message that I didn't ship it out soon enough.  The message said that I paid you on February 27th and you ship it on March 3rd?  I realized that Thursday to Monday wasn't that big of a deal. I think I had until Tuesday to get it out.  I ignored the message. I thought this is 99 cent mascara.  Let's not get stupid about it.

Last night I got a message that she said the mascara was dried up and trash.  I apologized and asked her to start a return process with eBay to send me the mascara back.  For the piddly amount, I thought well bad on me.  I thought maybe I should go through the eye make up and toss it.  It might not be good.  Or try to donate it and see if it can be put to good use. I don't know.  I was fine with a refund.

Well lo and behold there was a message from this person on my alerts tearing me a new one that she's not paying for a label. I should be paying her and my stuff is trash and she's just going off about how she's not paying for anything.

This is over 99 cent mascara plus 3.19 for shipping and handling.  What the hell lady?  This is probably some young girl and um no, I didn't let it go.  I let her have it about her rude messages and that I don't appreciate getting bullied into giving her money when I myself have been taken advantage of by buyers.  Oh, do I have the stories for that. I asked that she never contact me or I will report her to eBay. I said open up a return with eBay and I will work with eBay to get you your money back but I want the product back.  I said never contact me again.  I thought her messages were rude and hostile and there's no reason to talk to anyone like that and I've been on this platform for 26 years.  

What do I think will happen?  I don't think I'll get the mascara back. I'll get a complaint filed against me on eBay where I have to pay her for the crappy 99 cents and $3.19 shipping and handling.

I think I'll be looking into where I can donate some of this stuff and taking a break for awhile unless I get kicked off myself for talking back to a child.  

I can't believe I got shook down for 99 cent mascara.  Good grief.

Have a better day than me good humans.

Feeling a bit used

About a month ago, the diva had an incident with the lurker.  They were asked to document other incidents and the diva had sent me a copy.  I scanned it.  It was small print but I thought wow.  She really documented in a whole chart. I printed it up to take a closer look tonight and I was bothered by what I read.  I only skimmed it on my phone but looking at it on page in front of me in bigger print was a whole different story.  Crazy story telling and my name is in there.  I thought don't speak for me, diva!  Keep my name out of your mouth!  Sigh.  I feel used for some strange reason.  Used me for learning the basic and now I've been kicked to the curb.  This is familiar territory.   Usually when people say I can't stand drama, they love it.  They're the ones starting it.   This is why I have walls up and I don't want to have walls up.  I kind of thought maybe this is someone that I can be friendl...

Here goes the waiting game

So I waited this morning and got my phone call.  Can't do anything until April 8th.  I'll be driving out to their other hospital for another screening and ultrasound.  So the fun begins with the wait game.  I got the consoling voice on the phone when I said I knew it was them.  Sigh. I told my mom I thought things would be better after I went through it the first time.  People left and well good riddance.  I've been worried about our landlord possibly selling the duplex and after reading about how hard his life is?  I want to scream. I finally have a little money in my checking and now it's going for medical.  Great quality of life.  I hope they take payments.  Everyone keeps taking from me. You know, there wasn't love lost when my ex left me and got married.  It's the How come he gets to find his true love and I don't?  How come he lies and does bad things and finds his true love?  I did so much for this person who w...

Grey Wednesday - Or is it Tuesday?

It's great to have a four day week but can be so confusing. I told myself an event wasn't happening until Thursday.  No, no, it was for today.  Glad I caught it.  It's always been a too fast week for me. I don't imagine I'll see Charlie or Jeremy until later this week.  Charlie works an hour away in Madison and from our place it adds another 30 minutes.  I told my mom it's really safe to say we won't see Charlie sitting on the porch with two dogs vaping while his dogs bark.  They're not home enough for pets.  Glad they're ok with our Precious. I did another round of pick ups for mom at Kohl's last night. I didn't mind.  Nice to get out of the house. I just wanted to make sure I got everything straight.  She got a great deal on everything so it's fine by me to go get them.  I made a stop at Wal-Mart to get a few things before I headed home. As I pushed my cart out, I realized I left my damn bag at the check out.  Luckily they had it....
