2 things Steve. One, as a carpet cleaner, I can tell you right now, I know there is no need to be using staples in carpets. They must've done a crappy job, I wonder if they even used one of the carpet stretchers, or just a knee kicker. Anyways, sounds like you're having fun
The other thing is, my wife can design kitchens, since she used to work for a few places.......designing kitchens. So, I might be able to help you if you have any questions.
Anyways, so, what have I been up to? Um, working on voice acting stuff for Frozen Utopia, but I can't say what for exactly BWA HAHA! Um, playing games here & there. I picked up MGS3 Subsistence, & played thru the first MSX Metal Gear for the first time. Anxiously awaiting various games coming out, like Children of Mana, Sega Genesis Collection, Capcom Classics 2, Yoshi's Island 2, Castlevania Portrat of Ruin(already have it paid off at EB
), Dawn of Mana, Mindrec's games, & our own
We did recently have trouble with our health insurance. My wife quit American Vision Kitchens, because, they were screwing her over on pay(especially the commission, which they kept lowering!), even though she was at the top of the hill there
Since then, a flurry of people have quit that place, she was having nightmare's while she was employed there.
Anyways, so we were supposed to go on Cobra insurance(supplied by Ceridian), & we were getting our meds just fine for the 1st 2 months, then Wham! We couldn't get any! And we had only just gotten our first bill, which was for the first 3 months, & the grace period doesn't end until November 1st, but, they cut off our coverage anyways! So we sent in our $1100 which we had to steal from savings
And, they cashed it.......we still aren't covered!
They claim that once they get it, it takes 1-2 days for them to process it, then they hand it to Blue Cross, & Blue Cross supposedly takes 2-4 WEEKS to process it! Well, we called Blue Cross, & they said it only takes them 1-2 days to process it
And, if we didn't have Cobra coverage, we'd only owe them around $150 for our meds for the months that were covered. So, basically, we're demanding Ceridian pay us back our $1100 that they cashed, becuase they haven't even turned on our coverage, & obviously it would be cheaper, just to pay the $150 to Blue Cross. So, we're hoping & praying somehow, we can get our money back from that joke of a company!
Oh, & another thing, every person that my wife gets ahold of at Ceridian, has given her a different story on how long it takes, & how to get our money back, etc. It sucks. If they don't get back to us by the end of the work day, monday, I think my wife is going to threaten to contact some insurance commissoner, which we're told those companies fear. So, I hope it all works out
Let's see, other then that, just been working, collecting Transformers, trying to keep myself off of ebay(though, I did go & re-collect all the RPG's for Saturn, which I used to have, but sold off years ago, that....cost me some money, although I didn't even try to get Panzer Dragoon Saga, too much $). Our new place is coming together, but, since money is tight lately, can't really be doing anything big to our place, that'll be awhile.
Oh, the wife got her first review at her new job.......&, no raise yet
Though, the chick that reviewed her, said that they do give raises, at times when they don't do reviews, so, she could get one, randomly sometime, & they've commented on how surprised they are, at how good she is at her job, not to mention enthusiastic.
Uh, my dad was out of town, & I did a carpet cleaning job by myself. It's the 3rd job I've ever done without my dad(once was my new place's carpets), so it was tough work by myself.
That's all I can think of right now, just trying to survive
edit-Oh, I've also worked some on music for one of our games. One game in particular, I'm working on adding vocals to, & I need to finish the music for that particular project pretty soon, or atleast, it seems like I'll need the songs done soon
