Revival of thread "What are they thinking?"

I thought you all would enjoy reading this note to me from a scheduler.

It's a
"WHAT ARE THEY THINKING?"

I requested that they either pay me an additional $25 or (with over a week away) they could find another notary with time to spare. They sent me six pages of instructions and I decided I had to have a little bit more.

In response I get the note. I guess that she really has not recognized that I am as free to set a fee as she is to refuse it.

tee hee Here is the note -

--------
Brenda:

We can go ahead and do the $100 this time but I will only be able to pay $75 on QQQ/XXX closings in the future, as all other closers accept.

Thanks.
-------

>>>as all other closers accept. <<< Now, she's really letting me know I am odd! ALL other closers accept her fee. HOW bizarre that I will not.

I got quite a laugh out of it because in two lines that little lady was able to raise my fee, tell me what my fee would be next time, attempted to shame me into feeling as if I was the only one who would not do that price.

Frank Sinatra had a hit in a lounge lizard song about blowing smoke up a notary's skirt.

Yeah, I am pretty sure it was Frank Sinatra, not Dean-o..... Frank was rumored to be part of the mob, hence - now we can see why there will soon be a "Scheduler's Union" - am I not right????

Okay - see if you remember hearing these lyrics before.

NOTARY ARE YOU STUPID?

We all try so hard not to pay them a fee
because all they are is a drooling not-a-ry.

Just tell them over and over until they give in and then say it again...

"but all notaries do do do do do,
so why won't you you you you YOU?
NOW PLEASE GIVE IN!"

I know you cannot profit, but I don't care you seeeeeee....
You are too easy to fool because I say
we will call that cute little notary, Shereeeee.


Oh Lady Notary what's wrong with you??"
You're just so clueless, unlike Eunice
the scheduler, the schedulerrrrrr.

Whisper: Notary are you stupid?
Notary are you stupid...stupid...stupid?

Ms. Notary, you really are too stupid to live another minute for free.

LITTLE LAAAADY NOTE-A-REEE...you are too dumb to see
that it's only 40 miles- Baby, GIVE us the first 50 of travel for FREE!
(Do I see that sweet little idiot smile? )
A $50 bill should do-oo-oo-ooo just fine--
just take it this time
and Notta on your travel fee-
edcocs too?
A check is in the mail, pretty fool.
But first it has to
go on a tour of the Mozambique School .

The check will be delayed...
no Pony Express - too much horse mess.
Better get ready because it is CALL TIME...CALLLLLLL TIME.


Ring a ring a ring

(CALLING refrain)
Calling us is the most important thing!!!
Now call us when you have had your SHOWER before you go...
(And, stop wearing your hair in a curly 'fro - straighten it and be a stuffy pro.)
And call us when you're through with the doc printing showwww.
And, did I say ALSO BEFORE the printing starts to go.
Call us if you change your hair color...if you switch brands of butter..
Call us - every- 30 - minutes or more.
And, every time you see a door!
It should remind you to call some MORE.

Oh honey!
Don't ever question the smarts of a scheduler's art!
She thinks that your feet stink a lot,
but Kid! she's giving you a shot!
(Just charge her $30 this time...let her make an extra dime.)

Even though you are just too stupid to live ...
Too dooby dooby tooooo stupid to live.

Brenda-You DO get royalties when 50 Cent records it, right?

That was GREAT! LOL!

It must be so nice to have such an over inflated self worth.

Fiddy Cent?

I heard Michael Buble singing the re-make. (that's Boo-Blay not buble for those who are not aware. I don't know how he spells his name, but I do enjoy his voice)

Anyone else?

Brenda was that Land America WAMU loan with the fax back? I do not accept that fee for them either. They want you to offer the customer cart blanche and these people are suppose to be the white glove clients.... well I went to one today in a very bad area.

Re: Revival of thread "What are they thinking?"-jac

Jac - not in this case--different company. However, LA / WAMU make up a good bit of my business so I know exactly what you are talking about. How frustrating is that new list of things to do when you have never made an error for them? When this kind of stupid stuff becomes a natural requirement I feel that the annoyance factor is close to outweighing the pleasure of doing the job.

The fax back thing is out of control. Night before last I called LA and said I can either drop the package w/o faxing, or I can fax half the night and drop tomorrow. Just drop if you want to. So, I did. Got a call yesterday from LA with a gentle request to fax in my docs. But, the docs are already there with you....oh....please faxback no matter what in the future...okay.

But, I don't know about that. Frankly, at any price can I say that I'd do this faxing thing on a non-stop never-ending basis? I am weighing that out right now. I don't know if I can. Frustration and annoyance factor is high in this...I know Smart and Thrifty Bob is set up to do high speed print, fax, scan, copy, wash, dry and fold, but I don't think the Texas market will justify that expense on the downside of the refi boom.

Time to get my pencil out.
