Fuck you. No. Seriously.

The doctor thinks it was tonsillitis, following on an upper respiratory infection. I'm mostly over it now, but I still feel horrible. I experienced the joy of having a scope shoved up my nose, through my sinuses, and down my throat. While in the waiting room, where I sat for an hour, I got a call from my credit card services company who told me that since I have a high-risk business, they're going to keep FIFTEEN PERCENT of EVERYTHING I MAKE until I get to $5,000. Fuck you. No fucking way. Even better? They're going to put through my charges from last week NOW. So I won't get them til the end of the week. That's a week and a half after I put the fucking charges through-- on a service I picked because they had a fast turnaround time. On the way out, I called Mom to tell her what the doctor said, and she got into a fight with me about putting up my booth at PARF this Monday to get ready for Celtic Fling. She started giving me bullshit about how I have no common sense, and if the weather hits it, she's not paying for a new one, etc. I hung up on her. Fuck you. No, really. Fuck you.

Anyone else like to tell me how to run my business?

I've had it. I've just fucking had it.

*hug* Uh, your tent lasted 12 weeks set up through the faire season....what makes her think it won't last 2?

[ysobelle.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Excellent question, innit?

[hederaivy.livejournal.com]

Why is your credit card service taking so long to put your charges through? A week seems rather ridiculously long.
I hope you get great weather for Fling. You guys have had enough of the thunder-and-wind for a while.

It's not the guys I go through-- it's Card Service International, for whom they're a reseller. I'm SUPPOSED to get my money in a day, maybe two.

And yeah. I'm done with the weather shit, too!

[grinning-fox.livejournal.com]

No, but I'd like to congratulate you on your prodigious and highly appropriate use of the phrase, "Fuck you." *hugs!* Well done =D Anyone you need stomped? I got stompy boots from Maggi a bit ago...

[ysobelle.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I've practised. Sigh.

Spankie,
Who is your credit card service company? I got my new machine for free last year with the new company I have and they deposit in two business days. My old company has next biz day deposit.

And my tent survived two years in a row from father's day monday until the end with little or no stupidity.

And it's not them-- they're a reseller. But they'd better be able to fix this shit. Who are you with now?

The nickname "Spankie" has freaked me out. I just don't see you as a Spankie. My Queen, M'Lady or Mistress, maybe... Spankie has just given me a fit of the giggles.

I would love to pass it along to you- I think you need it more than I do.

[foxglove-8778.livejournal.com]

Have you been around them when the worked together? *grin*

That was so much fun, despite everything.

[fondor.livejournal.com]

I'll get the info to you as soon as I can. You can expect a severe measure of stupidity from Cardservice. I had them for several years (the machines you used the first couple of years with me were from them) and there was no end of nonsense. Check your statement thoroughly. You bought your machine from them? Well, your reseller? Call me today, Friday before noon and I'll get the info for my company (they are in Pa) and you can check it out.

I'm gonna tell you how to run your business!!

HUH?!

"High risk"??

You sell clothes.

You are not in the pr0n business, and you are not in the travel business.

WHAT the heck is wrong with these people?!

WHAT the heck is wrong with these people?!

inbreeding?

Any company that has a seasonal revenue without a storefront falls into this category. At least she won't be subject to the insanely odd fees that are levied on the adult industry.
