Double the norm. My mom called her bank help line about a cancelled (from a week ago) charge from Amazon still showing today as pending on her cc. They’re so busy, she was told to send an email.

Fae Briona Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 All four of us in my Department will be starting to work from home tomorrow. With all travel is being ended, no speakers coming in, no supplies being used and needed to be reordered... my workload is going to drop pretty quickly. I might actually get caught up on things. 4 Link to comment

Yes, nice of them to pass the buck as the saying goes. Even though she’s 86, my mom is a keener when it comes to doing stuff online (had to drag me kicking and screaming into the online banking world lol) so she’s not going to let this go until the situation is resolved. 1 2 Link to comment

Don’t know the date, but it was about five days ago, so during the business week. Also, she cancelled the order (sanitizers and the like) the same day when she realized the products were coming from China. Though, I suppose a lot of stuff does, it’s not always so obvious. 3 Link to comment

If it was on Wednesday.. I would expect the pending transaction to come off tonight. Authorization are usually in place for 3 business days.. if the merchant bank doesn't post the item the authorization should drop off. Lots of merchants do not cancel authorizations because they have to call the acquiring bank. 3 Link to comment

I saw a pending order on my for running shoes at Sportchek but it did eventually go through. I guess they weren’t in a hurry to get my money. Thanks for the explanation, tim. I figured there was nothing nefarious going on. 3 1 Link to comment

Fae Briona Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Today will be my first full day working at home. SP will be 'home' [here] by noon to work the rest of the day, then will be here all day working for the foreseeable future. Think he'll probably keep me focused on actually working. lol Hope everyone has a good day of work -- either at work or from home. Thunderstorms overnight; joints ache. 5 Link to comment
rickproehl Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Excuse me Good Sirs and DiC friends. Good Day how is everyone? This working from home is different.

Kitt Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Seems like the longer at home the less "good" I feel. Not sick or particularly hurting with my injury, but just not me. Guess my coworker may be right, I am just not capable of goofing off without feeling guilty. Seems like I should be accomplishing things, but a lot of the things on my "to do" list are also on my forbidden until healed list. 2 Link to comment

It's not "goofing off" if you're forbidden from doing something. 🤍 3 1 Link to comment

Only took the last week off work and two more till the burns healed enough to start wearing my bra again. But then, I am also the one who was using crutches on the way into knee surgery, and walked out unaided. 2 Link to comment

Maybe you’ll figure out something new to keep you busy. 1 1 Link to comment
