Humor for the day
Received a call from N3 Notary this afternoon..."are you available anytime between this Thur - Mon to meet records clerk at local hospital to complete a questionnaire, notarize a few docs, retrieve a few sets of medical records for return?" Once I realized it was N3, I had no intention of accepting, but out of curiosity, I responded, "possibly, what are you authorized to pay me for those services?" Her response, "we pay $20 for those type of appointments". After a few seconds of regaining my composure, I replied, "I'll pass on that offer, but I'm still going to visit the hospital...I think I pulled something in my back from falling down and laughing so hard." N3, thinking I was joking, "seriously, what amount would you be willing to accept?" I really had to pull it together before responding, "I'm not really interested...I have had problems collecting from N3 in the past & don't work with difficult SS's anymore."
So about 1 hour later, I receive another call from the same girl at N3, "Hi, I spoke to you earlier and I got the fee for records collection, affidavits, and questionnaire moved up to $35, will you accept that amount?" My response..."NO THANKS". Now I'm really off the the hospital...cannot laugh anymore...hurts too bad.

I had taken some work from them, more or less on a trial basis. The pattern is lowball, slow pay, lots of hand-holding & more bs than I can take. It's the same yada-yada-yada: they've been in business for x years, etc., etc., etc. When will people learn you can't cover poor business practices with b#$l s#$t! That is what you'll get from them & plenty of it.
