That seemed odd, but I wasn&#8217;t going to question it. We grabbed a burrito at Hardee&#8217;s and made our way in. Joel seemed confused, and then explained the true purpose of the call, which was for Shane&#8217;s guys, and for me to be on standby. I hopped on a call with both of them just to catch up with Shain, and then did my own thing the rest of the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was blistering cold when we stepped out for a late lunch. The wind was howling and it felt like an incredibly sunny winter day. We grabbed our Monday cheese sticks, then went to Wendy&#8217;s for an ironic cup of chili and a frosty. I let Muad&#8217;Dib run up the road on the way back, and then the afternoon didn&#8217;t drag by terribly on account of our late lunch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When we got back to the house, Summer had been there a little while not feeling well. I made rice and ate dinner alone, and got upset with her for refusing to eat anything more than her biscuit breakfast and a small cup of plain steamed rice. I emphasized that she consistently feels bad because she doesn&#8217;t take care of herself, and then distanced myself for the rest of the evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I had also been sitting around waiting to hear back from Future Motion long enough that I decided it was time to post my support timeline on Reddit. I got a ton of feedback &#8211; much more than I expected for such a wall of text. I had some good input, and a ton of bashing the company. I ended the night with a conversation with Discover Card to see if I could dispute the charges and get my money back that way. Surprisingly, it sounds like they may be able to help. I suppose I&#8217;ll reach back out to Future Motion, but it&#8217;s at the point now that it may just be best to cut my $900 loss and try to get a refund for the original purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Don&#8217;t press your luck<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I got up half an hour early so I could get to work before 7:30, expecting a quarterly review with Shane and [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_crdt_document":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[45,96,29,36,66,95,27],"class_list":["post-9466","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorised","tag-anger-management","tag-dog","tag-family","tag-food","tag-frustration","tag-onewheel","tag-work"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9466","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9466"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9466\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9468,"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9466\/revisions\/9468"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9466"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9466"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9466"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
