Why is it lately, all I seem to do is fix everyone elses mistakes.  I spend all my time on the phone getting refunds someone forgot or fixing bills that are wrong.  Examples?

• Comcast has screwed up my bill for over a year and still can’t seem to get it right (doesn’t count the terrible service I spent almost every day on the phone for 6 months trying to get fixed).
• The vet wants to give my dog drugs that will obliterate his liver, cause ulcers, kidney problems and basically kill him – all because they can’t admit they made a mistake in reading his chart and don’t want to give him something he’s doing well on (gawd, might mess up their egos you know). 
• Irobot owes me $6 in discounts I didn’t get on my order. 
• Ordering a SSL certificate for one of my websites has turned into a nightmare of red tape.
• Getting billed for emergency room services by Emerg. Phys. Services that weren’t performed and after 3 requests am still waiting for an itemized bill – all they know how to send is another insurance request form.
• Ordered a program and it doesn’t install right.
• Amazon’s rebate form didn’t work – so about 10 phone calls and emails later still haven’t got my $50 rebate.

There’s more, this is just from this week….I spent 2 hours on work today and 6 straightening out messes (that are still not straightened out).  Can’t anyone do their job right?  Does everything have to turn into a ***** nightmare?  Sometimes I feel I live on the tech support lines.  And it doesn’t help most of those calls are routed to India or Mexico where the accents are so thick you can’t understand a word they say.  Thank GOD Godaddy uses American tech support people!  I could hug them for that – at least I can understand them even if some of their people are clueless and the red tape is deep.  I don’t mind if I can understand and can at least explain the problem – but when your English is marginal, accent so thick it’s intelligible - should you really be doing tech support for a large company like Amazon?

I have so much to do with the Holidays approaching and all I do is spin my wheels and chase my tail following up on things that should’ve been right the first time.  Frankly, I’m sick of it  but can’t think of a solution other than to ignore my $50 rebate – which would be ok if I were Bill Gates. (I’m not).
