Winging It

Oh it is so painful!

Ok, so on the 19th of every month those pesky people at UCI (which I think is really just part of Mt. Vernon Hospital) (Useless! and Things I Really Hate) call to bug me and make sure it’s ok to charge my account.

Because they’d be really understanding if I said “No.”

Anyhow, as I’m sure you’re all aware, I’ve moved jobs and now work at PBS. Which of course means the number they need to call to contact me is not the same (because heaven forbid that they call my cell). So I leave a message with my account rep (who never actually answers the phone, but I think that’s policy) saying “Go ahead and debit my account. Call XYZ if you need to talk to me to confirm it.” You’d think that’d be a good start.

You’d be wrong. So today, the 23rd or 4 days after they wanted to debit my account, they try calling my old work number. “Why?” you ask, why because the person who was handling my account no longer works there and no one thought that “Hey, maybe we should check her voice mail.”

Ok, that’s it. This is fucking ridiculous. I asked the new rep how I can go about getting them to just automatically do this every month without me having to confirm it every single time. And of course, now I have to fax in something. Ok, I think, I’m never going to remember what it is that she wants me to fax. so I ask, “Could you e-mail me the information you want me to fax you?”

I’m sure you’ve all heard a pregnant pause before, but when have you heard a pregnant pause when asking about e-mail in an office environment? Good God, they’re morons over there!

So she called and left a message detailing what she wants me to fax. This is absurd. Don’t they have a damn form that they can at least mail to me with all the information that they want? Geezus, this is… it’s beyond ridiculous.

First week at PBS and so far it’s been great. I’ve been really busy, but busy in a good way.

Umm…. yeah, nothing else to say right now.

Oh, well, I did get both Fable and The Sims 2 last week. Both very good games that I am greatly enjoying.

Just need to get a few hours of sleep in somewhere to re-energize myself so I can enjoy them some more .

Wow am I exhausted.

The first day at PBS was good and very promising. Lot of stuff to learn, lots of running around, etc and so forth = one tired person, though!

Wish me luck or whatever it is that you wish someone on their first day at a new job.

Well, it’s almost here. The first day at PBS is just around the corner. I think I need to purchase some clothes.

Ok, I just felt like I had to write something since it has been a week since the last thing I wrote.

Just thought I’d wish my brother a happy birthday today (seeing as it is his birthday and all).

I mean, I suppose I could wish someone else a happy birthday whose birthday was not today, but I’m fairly sure that doing so would not make much sense.
