    Review

    Honestly ridiculous. The experience starts off with a promise that seemed to carry more weight than it deserved: we were told that we would hear something soon. Instead, there was no follow-up. Ms Angie said a call would come, but she hasn't called back. We informed her of the issue, clearly communicating what was happening and what we needed. It felt like the basic expectation of timely communication had slipped through the cracks, leaving us in a vacuum of unanswered questions.

    We made sure Angie understood the problem on our end. We took the time to advise her of the specifics, hoping that she would respond with a plan, a next step, or at least a sign that someone was paying attention. The sense we got, though, was that the message wasn't treated with the urgency we believed it deserved. It wasn't simply about one missed call; it was about the broader impression that our issue wasn't being prioritized or tracked in a reliable way.

    Oh yeah, I understand - well, why didn't she call? That line echoes the confusion and frustration we carried. There's an acknowledgment that there may be reasons beyond the obvious, but the practical outcome remains the same: no return call, no update, no sense of progress. It's hard not to feel that the channels we depend on for information and resolution just weren't functioning the way they should.

    To add insult to injury, there was the cost and the time wasted. We spent money to travel from Evansville to Marengo, a trip that felt unnecessary in hindsight because there was no timely guidance or resolution to the issue at hand. The financial and logistical burden of making that trip, only to be left with unanswered questions, compounds the disappointment. It's not just about a single communication lapse; it's about the cumulative strain of having to bear the cost for something that wasn't effectively addressed.

    Then came the delay. We waited for over an hour because she was late, which only amplified the sense of broken promises and mismanagement. The wait wasn't just a few minutes; it extended the time we had set aside and disrupted plans that depended on somebody taking responsibility and keeping us informed. The feeling of being stranded in limbo, after investing time and money, is hard to shake.

    Smh. That short expression captures the overall mood: disbelief mixed with disappointment and exasperation. It's a reaction born from an expectation of professional handling and accountability, and it's a clear signal that the experience didn't meet even the most basic standards. When you're counting on a prompt update and you don't get it, the impact isn't limited to one moment - it ripples through trust, scheduling, and future decisions.

    In the end, the impression left is that communication and reliability were lacking. The promise of a quick update faded, the follow-through never arrived, and the trip that was taken to address the issue felt like a sunk cost rather than a step toward resolution. It's a reminder of how essential clear, timely, and accountable communication is in any service interaction. The lingering question is whether there will be accountability, an explanation, and a real remedy to prevent this from happening again.
