Notables

I slept with the window open last night and only needed a sheet at the coolest points.

In November.

*g*

(I live on the second floor, so open window is okay.)

Seriously, it was 62 at the lowest last night. Granted, my apartment, due to my refusal to turn the air back on, was at, like, 80 when I went to bed. But still. Windows! Open!

Blissful

Lunch was a burrito (eh - very dry), rice (good - moist) and a chili relleno (heaven - best one I've ever had).

I'm a happy camper. Last day of eating wonderfully heavy food, though. And last day of sweet tea until Thanksgiving. Woe!

Grrrrr

What am I spending today, tomorrow, and M-W of next week doing?

Inputting my boss's rolodex into Microsoft Outlook.

Why is this important?

She's getting a Blackberry. Eventually. Someday. Just not right yet. *growls*

But wait! Will she know HOW to operate this newfangled thing? No! I will have to learn how to use it! Because it's my job to be brilliant and know things that I have no knowledge base on! Even though her daughter is the one coaching her on what to buy, regardless of the fact that the daughter will not be in the state to problem solve when there's an inevitable problem!

Oh, and a sign that a phone number is old? When the area code on it went out when I was in college.

Current letters of the rolodex done: A-H, J-L, N-O, Q-R, X-Z

Working on: I

18 2/3 letters down

And I've been working on it when I can for 3 weeks.

I'm rocking the bitchy today. I cancelled my online Blockbuster membership (that's akin to Netflix) August 31. I know the date because I was headed out to see paperbkryter on Sept. 1, and I wanted to make sure I cancelled it before they billed me for another month (Sept. 2 would be the date of billing).

Well, bank statements state I was billed for the month of September on September 2. Yeah. After I cancelled. Oh well, sometimes there's a mistake. As long as they fix it and apologize, right?

My first email:

I cancelled my account August 31. On September 2 I was charged for the next month of membership, after my account was closed. I would like a reimbursement for the $16 and change that were erroneously charged to me.

( Where reading is apparently not something they do. )

*fumes*

Um, obviously their math is special and they didn't bother to READ anything I wrote in a very, very short paragraph. My response?

"Unfortunately, that is NOT the case in this instance.

For the charge to have been made to my account because of a DVD being more than 10 days past due, it would have to have been charged LATER than September 2. According to your own rules, since I cancelled the account on August 31, I had until September 9 to return any DVDs. Furthermore, the charge to my bank account was made on September 2. This is when all previous monthly charges to teh account were made. And lastly, since the charge was NOT for $19.99 as your contract states, and was for the monthly membership fee (two different dollar amounts), it's fairly easy to surmise that I was charged for a month's membership after cancelling the account.

So.

I expect a response from a PERSON, not an automated form. Especially a person that can read. Feel free to call me at XXXXXX. I would LOVE to give my opinion of a process that doesn't take time to actually understand what people are saying."

Explanation please

*amused*

I was looking at getting a gift card sent to someone. When I clicked on the link on the website, here's what I got:

( Gift Card Ordering Policy - What Do You Mean By Online? )

Who wants to explain what "online" means to them?

Woohoo!

Post number 8 for the day.

Got winked at (at Match.com) by a guy who is a sports writer. Nice looking guy by the picture.

Used to write for NASCAR.com, now interviews Panthers players weekly while they're all sweaty and naked in a locker room. (And got to go to the Super Bowl for free, which we will all hate him for.)

At least he brings me out of my funk. I winked back. May do a snarky email later. Depends. Or I'll research the hell out of him over at NASCAR.com, since I think he's using a variation on his real name at Match.com.

ETA: Somehow I missed the wink just prior to this one. With the "healing power of crystals". Yeah, dude? I have a hard enough time with churchs where there's dancing or shouting. You want me to say anything about the crystals?
