The CAPTCHA word comes up but it only permits you to go to the results screen you were supposed to see. It doesn't prevent the error screen from coming up again. It would be nice if you only had to do it once and then they would allow you access again.

Count me in the malpractice suit vote column. That's godawful!

In addition, I would be SO on the bank's back over the error. 24 hour, two week, two days are not acceptable responses into reversing the charges. Reversed, and NOW please, thank you.

Edit: Found more info on what is happening. I suspect that if it's not your computer, it's another one on your company network or possibly your company's upstream provider.

Andrew,
The virus check found something that was installed on my computer and got rid of it. Now Google works fine.

A situation update:

It has been brought to our attention by my sweet and resourceful medically-knowledgable mother-in-law-to-be that surgical thread dissolves. She is of the opinion that the foreign object left in my mother's surgical wound was a SURGICAL SPONGE, which has about five inches of thread attatched to it so that they can pull it out.

And if that's true, my mother is going to have to have another surgery to remove the sponge.

Greeeeeeeat.

OMG! I'd be so pissed. Here's another scream from me.
Arrrrrrrrrghhh!

I'd sue. At the very least, they should pay for that surgery, right?

Ponine · 08-09-2006, 09:05 AM

Oh that just bites.
Keep us posted. I'm curious to know how they will figure out of thats the problem.

LSPoorEeyorick · 08-09-2006, 09:09 AM

Oh, at the very least.

But here's the latest update: she'll probably be in the hospital shortly, anyway. Normal platelet count is between 350 and 500 for women. With her autoimmune disease, she is usually between 70 and 100.

Today her count is 9. So that bleeding yesterday? That was from her internal bleeding.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAUGH.

I'm so sorry you and your poor family have to deal with this crap. Many well wishes to your mom for an easy and quick recovery.

Heidi, know that your Mom is in my thoughts and prayers, as are you. I know this has been a long, difficult journey for you and your family. Please, feel free to call on me should you need anything.

So a librarian from the 7th layer of hell screamed at me yesterday at the end of the day.
I passed it off to a supervisor today, who called her back, told her the same thing I did, then a little later she came in, and the admin aide told her the same thing for a 3rd time.

And yet she's still getting a check, I feel like a failure, and she treated a whole chain of people terribly. (yes, the details of WHY she's a demon from the 7th layer of hell are being witheld)
Yet she gets rewarded with a paycheck, and I get to keep being told that I need to not take it so personally.
God damn it, its too farging late for that.

No, I'm sorry for being a bee-yotch from her, no, pat on the back are you ok from my super, no hug kiss on the cheek, no conversations to change the topic, just more... Dont react that way, dont do that, dont say thats what you're gonna do.

I am TIRED of the people that act like demon incarnates getting the good treatment in the world. I dont care, I know everyone thinks I should buckle up, not be nice to them, not listen to them, etc...
I DON'T CARE.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrr rrrrrggggggggggggghhhhh
