D-day postponed...ergh! jnc: I'm sooooooo pissed right now. I called this morning and left a message with my lawyer confirming everything for tomorrow and her secretary just called back and told me that it has been rescheduled for next week. Hello...do you think that you can let your client know? I've scheduled everything around tomorrow. I'm supposed to start my new job this week and go out of town for training next week. WTF? I was so mentally prepared. I don't want this to be dragged out any longer. Sorry for venting, but I had it all planned out...divorce tomorrow and new life begins...but it's not going to happen yet. You know what really blows...D-day is the day after my birthday now. There's going to be so much to celebrate...yeah right.
Re:D-day postponed...ergh! cloud: Hey there, I know how you feel.
My D-Day was today and while everything was taken care of. I had to wait around in an empty courtroom mulling the end of my marriage.
My birthday is next Tuesday, so I guess I am able to look at it as a new life with a new birthday.
Just the same I did feel like I used this weekend to become mentally prepared.
If there is any consolation, it does seem to by fairly fast--even though I was in the courthouse for 2+ hours.
Re:D-day postponed...ergh! jnc: Hey, Cloud.
My thoughts and prayers are with you. Tomorrow will be a new beginning with you and your daughter. Just think of all the amazing possibilties and opportunities that await you. :) :) :) I'm ready to close this chapter of my life and start working on the next. I've waited this long already, so I suppose that one more week is not going to kill me (at least I hope so).
By the way, early HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! (Mine is the 1st, D-day the 2nd...ugh...)
Try to keep your head up! New things await all of us :)

Re:D-day postponed...ergh! Metis: :P
I guess as vents go, this is a minor one, but anyway....
Why is it people can't USE the GD answering machine????????????????????????????????
I live alone, my lawyer knows i live alone, everyone in three counties knows i live alone, i have left repeated instructions for everyone in the entire business world to leave a COMPLETE message when you reach my answering machine. I specifically left TWO messages with my lawyer's office emphasizing this, because I know about the annoying tendency people have to play phone tag, and what do i get?
"This is Vicki from [lawyer's office"> give me a call."
Do i know why? Do i know when? Do i know if there is information i'm supposed to have ready when i reach her? NO. I call back and get her voice mail, and can't leave any substantive info because I don't know what she wants. So i'm kept hostage in my house for the next hour or so hoping she'll call back when i'm there (PS that means i also can't use the phone). She knows i live alone, what does she think, the cat is going to snicker at me?
SO i have to go back to work, where an hour later i finally reach her (i don't like wasting work hours on personal stuff!) and she says i can come down and sign papers.
If she had told me that in her first message i would not have wasted my lunch hour waiting for her to call! I would have been at the office with pen and ID.
NOW i have to take time (which eats into vacation/personal time) to go do something i could have done during lunch!
ARGH!
And I'm PAYING them for this!
PS this is just a vent. I am also fully aware that i should be very very very very grateful that i was able to sign papers!!
I am grateful!
Re:D-day postponed...ergh! cloud: It's quite possible that they don't leave a detailed message so that when they do talk to you on the phone they can bill you for that time. Even if the call is 2 minutes in length, many lawyers and their staff will charge by the quarter hour automatically for anything between 30 seconds and 15 minutes.
