"Rb: “Attack? What was it that she said? That you are lonely or some trivial thing?”
Now I’m trivial??"
Excuse me from interjecting here, but I believe that you have misconstrued the use of the word lonely (which means to feel alone) with your user ID on this forum in this sentence. The word was not used to compare to your user ID, but tied to the state of being alone.
I do not believe the term used was either lonely or something trivial. As I have total recall, I believe the term used was miserable (which could have connotations of loneliness and other trivial inferences).
Scamming is one of the biggest concerns when dating FSU. What is scamming other than lying for financial gain. Therefore, if you lie to an FSU and you get scammed, you only have yourself to blame. She beat you at your own game. Of all the lies I have enumerated here, not one has been refuted. How can anyone work with lies? It is all too fitting that the forum teller of the mother of all lies is also the recipient of the mother of all scams.
He's right, I'm totally pissed ... at my internet provider, here is my latest 'snotgram' of today to them:
P.s. "pissed" in my language means drunk but I haven't been that for quite a while, I broke some ribs and a collar bone and the painkillers actually quelled my thirst for alcohol!

Dear Patrick,
I thank you for your time and consideration of yesterday and I thought it would prove useful if I follow up our conversations of yesterday with this more detailed explanation detailing the history of this situation up until yesterday.
During 2013, as this construction of WayfarersCloud9.com was nearing completion, we were in contact with the local Smart technical employee regarding the installation of Smart Canopy which we had been informed cost PHP7,000.00 to have installed, initially he informed us that our geographic location prevented us from receiving Smart Canopy but he soon thereafter changed his mind, that we could receive Smart Canopy by means of a 70ft high mast, and he, obviously on behalf of Smart, could complete this installation for us at a cost of PHP10,000.00 which we agreed to and subsequently paid.
Moving on to November 2015 our internet developed an intermittent fault and I duly called Smart, by this time we have a different Smart technical employee who, on 25 November, arrived so late (1915 hours) we were in darkness, all he did was change the power adaptor before leaving again, he was probably on site for all of five minutes, and whilst our internet was working at the time he left it soon developed it's intermittent fault which caused me to be back on the phone to Smart.
Now I'm no youngster, I've had a professional career of some thirty years in the airline industry, supervisory and managerial positions included, more recently I've had two of my own businesses and I think I can detect when an employee simply doesn't want to work, is having a joke at his employers expense, is just being sheer bloody lazy and Smart have such an employee servicing, or indeed not servicing, this area at the moment, please allow me this opportunity to summarise the catalogue of field visit appointments since 25 November 2015:
25 November 2015 – Supposed to visit between 1300 and 1700 hours, arrived at 1915 hours with no courtesy phone call or indeed subsequent apology of arriving so late.
02 December 2015 – Supposed to visit between 1300 and 1700 hours, arrived early morning when nobody was available to deal with him.
09 December 2015 – Supposed to visit but cancelled claiming he had a fever.
16 December 2015 – Supposed to visit but cancelled claiming we were in a typhoon when it was a beautiful sunny day.
23 December 2015 – Supposed to visit but cancelled claiming that all boats were fully booked.
27 December 2015 – Supposed to visit but cancelled, still on Christmas holiday and claiming that all modes of transport to Surigao City were full.
30 December 2015 - Supposed to visit but cancelled, still on Christmas holiday and was about to return to Surigao City on 29 December 2015 but cited a stomach ulcer as preventing him from doing so.
01 January 2016 – Supposed to visit, cancelled, no reason provided.
02 January 2016 – Supposed to visit, cancelled, no reason provided.
Notes:
1. He didn't have one sickness when supposed to be coming to visit Wayfarers Cloud 9, he had two, he had a fever on 09 December and a stomach ulcer on 29 December.
Now if he had two sicknesses for every customer he visits then he would have thousands of sicknesses each year.
In my country, if an employee is reporting sick for their duties, a doctor's or medical certificate is required, I can guarantee that this Smart employee has submitted no such certification!
2. Please 'Google' for reports of any typhoon in Surigao del Norte on 16 December 2015!
3. At Wayfarers Cloud 9 we are in the tourism industry and over Christmas we had many guests arriving and departing, many of them by means of boats and other surface transport via Surigao City, all of them arrived, in fact the only individual who didn't arrive, whilst claiming all modes of transport were full that all these other arrivals managed to travel on, was your Smart employee!
4. So he was due to be on duty in Surigao City, indeed Siargao Island, on 27 December but claimed all modes of transport to be full on 26 December. So why didn't he travel to Surigao City on 27th December or 28th December, why did he leave it until the 11th hour on 29th December just in time for an 'oh so convenient' stomach ulcer to kick in?
By now, Patrick, you should be hopefully realising that your employee local to this area is a problem, I was speaking with one of your co-managers on 01 January who tried to tell me that your technician visits Siargao Island every Wednesday, I could barely control my laughter at what a ridiculous and stupid explanation she was offering when your technician didn't visit Siargao Island from 02 December 2015 until 06 January 2016, does that sound like every Wednesday to you Patrick?
When he visited yesterday I complained to him that we've been without internet, he was clearly embarrassed as he offered lame excuse that it has been a holiday, he checked the power adaptor and repaired a break in the cable before he came to realise that it is the antenna, 70 ft in the air, that is the problem.
As I've said I can detect when an employee simply doesn't want to work and your employee simply doesn't want to work. How often does he report to a manager, how often does he have a manager overseeing his work and his customer relations? I would suggest the answer to that is “Never”, this employee of Smart is having

Continued:
a great time taking extended Christmas holidays and feigning sicknesses whilst doing as little as is possible.
Now our 70ft mast with antenna on top is a Smart installed installation, there is only one party that climbed that erected mast to install the antenna on top and that was Smart, your employee yesterday tried to argue that it wasn't a Smart installed installation, it was a private arrangement with a previous employee of Smart, well excuse me but when I telephone *1888 I am calling Smart and not the private answering service of one of Smart's employees!
It was apparent that your employee wasn't going to effect the repair yesterday, we were standing in the rain having a gentlemanly disagreement, we weren't going to resolve our disagreement or achieve anything whilst I needed to go to a neighbours to get online to catch up with my business duties.
It was over lunch that I realised the obvious, that your employee is having a joke at our expense, as we discussed your employees arrived three on a motorcycle, both illegal and dangerous, without wearing any protective clothing or crash helmets, both illegal and dangerous, so they are not “health and safety” conscious except when it suits them to be, to scale this Smart installed mast is no more dangerous than riding three on a motorcycle without crash helmets so why not scale it?
And, Patrick, when you relayed to me your employee's lies that there are no steps on the mast above 15ft and that I had agreed to employ and pay local personnel to put right the mistakes of a Smart installed installation … well really!
Patrick, to disassemble, modify, and reassemble this mast shall need to be supervised by a Smart technician, I've already paid PHP10,000.00 for it's, supposed, professional installation and I'm certainly not paying twice for the same job. This mast is a Smart installed installation, Smart personnel have scaled (climbed) it previously so they can climb it again. Local personnel here are unskilled, they are not capable of such a job so if Smart personnel want the mast modified then, as far as I'm concerned, Smart personnel need to come and modify it!
I'm even more pissed this morning Tom, of all the places I could be in this world I am in god forsaken Surigao City, it's pissing down with rain and the WiFi in my hotel room isn't working.
Oh well, in 2.5 hours from now on a boat back to Siargao Island, I might give an update when I'm pissed again :)
