and I hate the last day of the month --- at 10:30pm -- when people won't text you that they have submitted successfully ---ugh.can I get an 'Amen'?
 
Amen sister!!!!
 
(((hugs))) and AMEN!
 
Amen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
AMEN!

I love the months when we're GREEN before the last day of the month! Made Halloween enjoyable. I didn't have to rush my kids to get back on the phone. Ahhhhhh!!!! However, this month might be a different story (hopefully not).

Nope. the one girl we were waiting on 'fell asleep'....she was the one needed to make us an AD team (and she had a show to submit). Nice. I lost $300 and my Dir lost almost $200.

Nice.

Love you, Colleen!
 
Love you too!!!(I was going to say kick some a$$ but I thought it was a little early for that!)
 
Oh what a let-down! Does she know she was the one that y'all needed to make it happen?
 
Sorry! That is awful... make sure she understands what this meant to you and your upline. I find that when they truly understand what it means to you, they often will act differently. wish the system would update this morning.. like to know what my paycheck will be for the month!

I'm with genius! On both counts.
 
guilt is a motivator too :help:
 
:( So sorry girl. It's sad when others don't get the importance of being active each month.
 
2:15pm (EST) and no update. :mad: Come on already!
 
I just got a notification of a consultant earning new consultant rewards so hopefully slowly but surely....

I hear ya! My team is green, but I have one consultant who was in her 6 months and I 'think' she got her show in, but I'd rest more comfortably if I knew for sure.

It would be so nice if we had a "last update" time stamp or even a message letting us know the next estimated time for update. sheesh, HO really likes to keep their secrets! I'm wondering how much it slows down the system with all of us constantly hitting refresh! lol
 
2:30 central and STILL no update!!! Grrrrrr. Come on HO, give us something!
 
Crazy, huh? I even called HO yesterday to verify that shows went in & were not on hold. So I know what it's going to say, but I still want to SEE it! LOLJust got off the AD Call with Cathy Co... and they were fussing about it on the call. The others want to see it too! LOL
 
Red update at top saying Oct. 31 submissions will be reflected at 7pm CT today.

I want my HO leads back so c'mon HO let's get moving with updating everything. I know it will still be a few days before I show as lead eligible again.
 
Thanks for the update Becca.. I didn't see the red update at the top (or I just ignored it by mistake!)I will be out this evening and this keeps me from checking back over and over!
 
I think it just popped up. They are probably getting LOTS of calls! LOL
 
I also think they should extend the resolution deadline! And update at 7 and holds have to be resolved by 10? That's just crazy!

The consultant had legitimate family issues -- it's major for sure, life and death -- but just tell me that you need my help in submitting and I will help you thru it, seriously I can't blame...I just wish that she would have let me help her in some way to submit the $700 show she is sitting on YESTERDAY instead of today!Feeling bad that it's all about me -- sorry for her issues -- and just plain beat up.Just needed to vent -- thanks for listening, girls.

That's what we're here for. I've always said that depending on others to do what they say they are going to do is the HARDEST part about this biz. Hold your head high and know you did everything you could.
 
At least she had extenuating circumstances & wasn't just being lazy ... but I have no doubt that even with a valid excuse for being exhausted & tired, it doesn't lessen the blow for you. :( Sending more (((hugs))) girl.

I've been there twice (both times since my evac from Japan) and I don't ever want to do it a 3rd time. It's the worst feeling to know that you were so close & missed it. But I have to admit, after I had my little pity party, I consoled myself with the upside ... at least she'll be active THIS month! :rolleyes:
 
I spent 1/2 an hour last night in the midst of 1500+ little kids at a church function for halloween with Home Office to get something straightened out for a consultant who conveniently forgot to tell me she was on money order only status so even if we got it fixed it wouldn't matter....had the $$ for directorship and not the 6 submitting. Yeah, nice.
