Somewhat related - I bought some bus tickets online for a foreign country - the bus was cancelled so I asked for a refund, they never sent me a refund or asked me how I wanted to get my refund. I opened up a case with PP and after a short period of time they sent me a refund

I had a a goal year in mind as we planned early retirement - then a reorg hit and I had to leave about 2 years earlier. A great severance package bridged the gap - but no more contributions to my pension fund. The result will be 5K less per year when I take my pension. After a few years I...

I did some software testing a while back - only worked part of the year - all web based software - found it on flexjobs.com Check out the new build - log bugs - re-test- even with automation you still need some human testing. I quit after they wanted me to work more - I was very upfront with...

Went for my yearly skin check at my Dermatologist- I had different insurance this year - I could swear I checked out all my docs before I picked one - but alas during check-in they said it wasn’t accepted - she wrote a big Self Pay on the form. The doc asked me about the self pay - and I told...
