I am very sorry about your family's situation, truly, and thank you for keeping it cool under the circumstances.
This is the kind of thing I have to deal with, an a daily basis, for my job as a casualty investigator. One of the cases I am working on, right now, a woman got run over by a bus, popped her brain across 2 lanes of traffic, and I have to locate, pin down, and statementize the 54 witness listed on the police report ... as well as her family members, etc. That's just one file ... and I have about 40 casualty files I investigate.
On another case I have, dude was driving home with his family (he's 28, in his prime, Marine; his wife is 23, gorgeous; their baby girl is 1 year old sitting in the back car-seat). They're driving along on a desert highway, 65 mph, and the other party (coming the other direction) loses control and hits them head-on. WHAM! Everything changes. Dude is half-conscious, right arm broken, both upper legs broken, face chopped all to pieces. Looks over. Beautiful wife, girl of his dreams, DOA: shattered spine, torn liver, gone forever. Blink of an eye. Baby Girl? She broke her little neck, and smacked her head against the back of mommy's seat, the combination of which will leave her a quadriplegic with brain damage for the rest of her ruined life.
I have to go out there, interview every survivor and witness, try to keep a dry eye, and make sure I have all the facts straight ... because the entire lawyer's cases/and insurance company $$$ is all based on MY investigation and reporting, which work also has a deadline, etc. Think there's any stress there? Little pressure?
Again, those are but two cases of a caseload of about 40 such files, so I deal with some pretty serious shit too. As serious as it gets, and I put in 225-250 hrs/month, not behind a desk, but on the road, 2,000-3,000 miles a month, all over southern CA, dealing with stuff like this. (And I am not even going to bother mentioning maintaining this site, while creating another site that is twice as complicated.) When I get home, which sometimes isn't till 9-10pm, I don't get to watch TV or sleep. I get to check/respond to emails, and then
draft reports on all the investigation I conducted, mount photos, upload digital statements, make a full case and presentation, etc.
So, as I said,
when some person tells me "he" doesn't have the time to handle "his own" mistakes, and can't even put in a GD pedigree correctly ... and expects ME to correct it for him ... it makes me want take a claw hammer to anyone who says stuff like this, because (truly)
few people are as busy or deal with serious shit like I do. You sound like one, due to personal reasons, and again I truly hope everything turns out for the best in your situation.
In the end though,
I am the one who truly doesn't have the time to deal with people who don't follow directions. They just get the boot. Period.
On the other hand, anyone who expresses genuine regret, AND a willingness to make it right, I will be glad to change things back ... as I want people to have fun here ... I just want them to BE CONSCIENTIOUS
Well, I appreciate your conduct and attitude, sincerely, so let's just forget it.
Please take a look at the changing pedigrees video, go into your
My Pedigrees portion, and kindly correct any of the problems previously mentioned.
Thank you again, and best of luck to you and your family.
Jack
