My breakfast today was the same as yesterday. I do wish that
the concierge would be a little more on the ball. He hadn’t put the eggs out …
was running low on oatmeal, and I went even later today!
So today I learned a valuable lesson, listen to Google Maps
(unless it tells you to take a U turn)… even if you have driven somewhere
twice, you still don’t know it. I was almost late for class today. I went South
instead of North. I was so used to my Garmin messing up that I just assumed
that I must be right and my Google maps must be wrong. Considering that
Google=Big Brother I should have known better. Well I wasn’t late, so all is
right with the world there. (Glad I left extra early because I was going to get
gas).
I was sitting in class and suddenly my bra strap
snapped. I was not happy about this… and
thank goodness break time was imminent. I spent almost my whole damn break
trying to find a way to fix it so my boobs wouldn’t look lopsided. I had a make
it work moment and was glad that a) I had a breast reduction a few years ago b)
Yankee ingenuity c) there was only an hour and a half left of class.
I learned another valuable lesson… Credit Unions are not
always better than Banks (technically I all ready knew that after the bank I
just finished working for). We paid off
a credit card with the Credit Union with a loan from another bank. It was part
of cash out from an equity loan. I specifically told the teller I worked with
NOT to close out the card. She told me that she was only paying it to zero. I
went to use the card yesterday to get gas. It did not work. I found out today
that it is because it is their policy that when a credit card or any open ended
loan is paid off with loan proceeds that they close the account. That was never
told to me in the 45 minutes I spent at that Credit Union. Yes, folks, 45
MINUTES TO COMPLETE FOUR TRANSACTIONS!
Since the card is in my wonderful husband’s name, who had
suggested that I use the card for expenses not covered under the company meal
plan while in training, called the credit union and got the above answer. He
was told that the loan officer from the other bank would need to contact them
to reopen the card. So…. My husband had to contact the loan officer from the
bank. She took COMPLETE ownership. She actually told him that she thought that
she had checked the box on the paperwork not to close the card, but she must
have missed it. She asked what she needed to do to fix it. REALLY??!??? I was
shocked. She just earned brownie points with me. In addition to the fact that
she was honest, upfront, and didn’t hide or fail to disclose anything with our
loan. I AM CONFIDENT that she was not the one who messed this one up, but
impressed that she owned the mistake, didn’t place blame on someone else, and
she fixed the problem.
I worked out again after work, BUT the A/C was still broken.
I got dizzy & a head ache after running just a mile, so I decided it might
be a good idea to call it quits for the moment. I HAVE been walking on my
breaks too, and eating better than usual… it CAN be done even if you are eating
out three meals a day.
I decided to plug the address for the nearest Target into my
phone and take a little trip. Getting there was fine, coming back it wanted me
to make U turns. I just pretty much went back the direction I came and it
recalculated enough to give me the correct exit numbers.
Tonight? I think I’m going to call it an early night (I said
this last night, but I ended up chatting with my bestie & cousin). Tonight
the internet is running super slow and I guess I ran a red light thinking it
had turned green, so I must be sleepy.
Until tomorrow!
