Friday

Bug was a jerk yesterday morning because he asked me at the last minute to drive him to work and I refused and he had to ride his bike. Luckily he came home on time and went with us to pick up Sharky at FA (his attitude was better as well).

Sharky has been on his computer all morning playing WoW so I'm on his laptop trying to do my morning stuff. Major PITA. I am so not used to this. Yes, I would love to have a laptop, but if I had one, I'd have been using it enough to be used to how it is set up. So frustrating. Especially  typing because it keeps jumping up and typing in other lines. Argh.

Major PITA yesterday trying to pay the mortgage. Went online and it kept telling me I did not have a valid account number (which I was copying right off of the statement). So after 3 tries, I was locked out. Called the help line and found out I could use the automated phone system to make a payment for free (no fees). Tried to do that and it told me my bank routing number was wrong (and I was copying off of a check). Three times, locked out. Had to speak to a real person - in India of course. Luckily she gave me an Indian sounding name instead of trying to convince me her name was "Bobby Sue" or something equally American. I explained what had happened and she apologized (script of course) and then she offered to take my payment for me - for a $15 fee! I immediately told her that was totally  not fair and she said the free offer was only for the automated system. Luckily, because the stupid system did not work for me, she said she would waive the fee - one time only. Oh well, that is done and over with for this month at least.

Have stuff to do today. Bug works and then goes to the Recruiter's office to spend the night and goes to a large PT function in the morning. I have to go to the grocery store for cat food/litter. Petunia needs her homework printed out so she can finish her project. Sharky has to be back at his boss's house at 4:30 a.m. Sunday morning again, so can't plan really anything too complicated or strenuous.
