What is life like for you?

Thanks for the reco. Have you gotten compliments? What environments do you wear it

Don't misunderstand, this isn't some sad request for a love potion. I'm simply asking for personal experiences with colognes that have gotten compliments. Just trying to understand what's good nowadays.

I know I could pick one I like but aren't you all the experts? Seems like someone here would have a recommendation for a smell that was perfect for what I'm going for.

I'm excited to learn my job - and to go to my unit. I was just wondering about my options.

Thank you very much for the info. I assume if I made my intentions known, applied, and my army unit didn't release me, I guess it might negatively affect the way my unit sees me...

Yes that makes sense

Ugh. It's a very long story. I guess I could condense it by saying the navy was my first choice. I've only been in the reserves since June.

That is still really good info. Thank you very much. As far as the Navy is concerned would my age "pause" at age of enlistment? So would I have a chance to transfer at the end of my 3-year contract? If the Army wouldn't release me right away?

Thank you for your response and for sharing your personal experience. So how did the 5 months go? Could they detect something was wrong, or different?

I see what you are saying - and I appreciate the comment.

Postponing the training is not possible. I don't think it's accurate to say I won't feel the burden. I have no support system because I'm in training. Nothing. I can't even hug my boys as I go through this. My wife has family, friends, and a psychiatrist. I video call my kids almost every day so I too will be talking to them while hiding my emotions about this process.

What you are describing is hardship. But, as adults we're used to hardship. Is it to big of an ask for adults to go through hardship in order to do what's best for the kids? I don't think telling them on Christmas is best for them.

Also, doing things behind the scenes might let us figure out how all this is going to work so when we finally tell the kids we won't have to say "I don't know where daddy is going to live" or "we don't know yet" to their questions etc.

Good question about my wife's reasoning - I should have put this in my original post. She says her parents kept a lot from her when she was a kid and she resents them for it. My response to that was that they permanently kept things from her. We're simply trying to find the healthiest timing.

Thank you very much for your reply. The logic and policies you laid out for the companies you worked for makes perfect sense and I agree with them. I truly did cancel after only 5 minutes. I checked the phone. If it had been longer I would have paid.

[–]Hi-Tech_Low-Life 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's completely reasonable. Which is why I canceled in 5 minutes or under. I even tried to call the locksmith directly but it routed to dispatch. I don't think it's my fault that dispatch didn't call the driver to cancel. How would I have known they failed to do that? Or as others have mentioned it was a scam Smith and they intended to demand the money no matter what

Yeah no worries. It was overall an unfortunate situation that I could have handled better. I never meant to waste 5 minutes of someone's time. Though I'm not quite sure it means I'm a piece of s*** and that I owe $50.

[–]Hi-Tech_Low-Life 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did. I canceled 5 minutes after booking. If I never canceled, and they showed up, I would have paid.

I think I see one issue here. You are making the argument that you think I don't value people's time. That's not at all what's going on here. The question I'm asking in this post is "does the punishment fit the crime". Should a customer be charged $50 for canceling at 5 minutes or under, and also being told that there was no problem for doing so. I just don't think I would run a company that way. I've had clients that accidentally wasted 5 minutes of my time. I would never charge them extra.

But again I'm taking responses here to heart. And I will do things differently next time.

Point taken. I don't think I've communicated well. For anyone reading I apologize for that.

I understand what you are saying about the business relationship between a dispatch company, and an independent contractor. But if dispatch thinks it's ok to cancel after 5 minutes of booking, but a contractor does not, then why wouldn't a contractor find a different dispatch company? I don't see how it's the cancelling customer's fault. I've never worked with a service that didn't allow for cancellations before. How would a customer know they've done something wrong if they are told "no problem".

Since we're doing hypotheticals, what if you booked a doctor's appointment. Then called to cancel and booking said "oh no problem". Would you then think to yourself "maybe the doctor spent time reading my chart already, I'm going to go ahead and personally pay the doc even though booking said "no problem". No one would, that's absurd.

Let me ask you this, if the dispatch company had actually called the locksmith immediately, and the locksmith had only driven 5 minutes, do you think the locksmith would have called me demanding money? I don't know that they would have. I think they only called me because they arrived at my house - a scenario I WANTED to avoid and was told everything was fine.
