    Delays delays delays!!

    So I've been moving into my warehouse so I can jump up in the game a bit. There is a certain registration I need to complete but don't feel comfortable doing until I've got certain things in place. Every single one of those things have met delays!

    1) I sent in a DBA form to the state and change of address form. Sent back due to a silly error on my part.
    2) I ordered my wire stripper and when it arrived, I took it out of the box and it looked like someone pushed it of the **** loading dock!! Had to send it back and wait for refund so I can order a new one.
    3) Ordered my forklift and was told I'd have a week later.....three weeks later still no forklift and had to get a loaner...free of charge at least! Lol. Should have it by Friday......should
    5) Ordered my gaylords. Was told they'd be here today. Waiting. Waiting. Waiting. 5:00 rolls around still no delivery. Called my contact and complained because I didn't a)receive a correct receipt, b) wasn't given a tracking number, c) haven't received my product. Find out the LTL company they hired doesn't ship to my town so they they picked them up and handed them off to another company. Other company missed getting it on truck this morning. Said they called me(didn't) . They told my contact that it'll be another two days.
    6) Tried getting phone/internet turned on through company A. Had to call 3 times before they submitted order. Took two more days before they let me set up install day. Set the date for the third. Asked for an earlier date since that would be 8 days! So they said they'd be there the 2nd. The second rolls around.....waiting, waiting, waiting. Call at 4:00. "Your install date is the 11th.....WTF!!! The hell it is! On phone for 30 minutes. Lady then took my number and said she'd call me back later that night(they stay open till 10pm) while she tried to figure out what was going on. No call. Canceled next day. Signed up with company B and had install date set same day......for the 11th. That's ok because I won't have to deal with the bs from them.



    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA AND I LOVE IT!!! Lol


    I feel like John Travoltas character in Michael.....Michael. Been waking up every morning thinking BATTLE!!! Lol.
    I did need to vent just a tad though. But this whole adventure is so exciting. Been sleeping better( I know it's 3am, I'm excited today! Lol) and I've lost ten pounds the last two weeks. I'll do another post that is a little more uplifting.

    Determine never to be idle. No person will have occasion to complain of the want of time who never loses any. It is wonderful how much may be done if we are always doing.

    Read your other thread about getting free stuff. I usually get my gaylords for free from the places I drop off at. BUT, I have purchased used ones before for $10 ea (there is a used box company in town). Also, supermarkets have tons of the boxes that pumpkins come in right now. They are about half the height of regular gaylords, but you can stack them. They come in handy for really heavy material too.
