Her "Fairytale" always has appealed to me -- a very unassuming gorgeous little piece to me

My contact with live people at the business is limited. I once went more than two years without talking to a live human there. As a result, I'm unintentionally excluded from all discussions. They sometimes forget I'm on staff and have hired new people to cover new projects, only realizing later that they should have just forwarded them to me. An engineer friend of mine said he dealt with something similar, but works for a large corporation. Due to management shifts, he didn't have a direct supervisor, so there was nobody to assign him work. He went more than a month having no work to do at all. He went into the office and played games all day. less

However, when you order from a meal delivery service, the tip usually goes directly to the driver. In this case, it doesn't matter if you spend $10 or $20 or $100. His or her work is the same. It doesn't make sense to tip based on the order amount. Is there a certain amount that's fair?

When I complained, they didn't even ask me what I wanted done- they just issued a refund. I was like, "That's great, but my kid has no food. You didn't solve the problem."I tried out Postmates because they had a free delivery deal going. After I put everything together and collected orders from everyone, I realized they charge a "service fee" separately; a portion of the amount of each item. In that case, the service fee was over $30. Insane. I also tried out UberEats, but have had issues with errors and getting refunds for missed items there too.Which food delivery services have you tried and are any of them better than the others? less

It was a simple plastic box that had an on/off switch, a two-setting function switch, LED display screen that showed about twelve characters, a red notification light, a clip to attach it to the belt or waistline, and it ran on two AAA or AA batteries. Its only functions were that if someone called my number, he or she (ok, she, because this is Randy D we're talking about) would hear my greeting message and then be prompted to either leave a phone number for me to call back, a voice message for me to listen to, or both. If she left her number, it would scroll on the LED display screen until I acknowledged it, at which point it would stop scrolling and just remain there. If another call came in before I acknowledged, each number would scroll in turn, accompanied by an indicator in parenthesis showing the order of the calls (1, 2, 3). If she... less
