Bill Paying Blues

Today I get a text message on my phone that my cell phone bill was late. So I thought why isnt that on automagic bill pay? Then I thought why arent all my bills on auto magic bill pay? Well I spent an hour trying to figure that out...

From Puget Sound Energy...
From T-Mobile:And my most favorite from Seattle City Light:

What the hell? What is wrong with the internet? Is it me? I hope not. Each of these services had equally painful recovery processes. Trying to recover from the error puts you into an endless loop of password resetting and retrieval that I still could be in, even now. My only relief was that customer service on the Seattle City Light site puts me out at the Citizen Actions Bureau - citizens beware online bill pay sign up is broken.

The problem with reading online

Went to do my class reading for the week, remembered that I had to write my classmate back who sent me a crocheting question. She was asking if I thought amigurumis would be hard for someone new to the needle arts. I had to do more research. I found these anapaulaoli.etsy.com
and I bought the mamas and baby patterns. Someone I know just had a baby that might like a mama and baby owl. Uh-oh. A is going to be home soon with some beer. We are going to watch 30 Rock which is my favorite new show. I didnt get my homework done...

My Famous Roomz

Michael Hsiung mad artist gets interviewed.


Gosh and I remember when he was just ol roomz.

On the bright side

My i-pod is on the fritz so I thought I might look into a new one. Just checking the prices and I ran into the iphone. I have largely stayed away, not wanting to get sucked into the hype. But man that is cool.

I love the touch-screen. All the devices in one. I want it!

I work for a bank

Today I sat in a meeting where we learned all about the ups and downs of sub-prime loans and credit card fees. Ugh. I work for a bank.
