So I called the credit card people and I've been once again charged for services I don't have. Why they keep insisting I have life insurance and their stupid travel crap I have no idea. I'd switch to a new CC company if I thought this wouldn't happen with them too, but unfortunately any corporate thing I've been a part of in the past 2 years has proven to be run by money grubbing assholes that care nothing about customer service and rely on the public as being complacent lemmings that just do what their told. Less than 5% actually complain. No, I'm not going to be one that folds to the pressure - I'm going to pay the bill off and then cancel the card. This should be in the year 2008.
Post Office mail has once again let me down. They didn't update my address info after I submitted it three weeks ago, so I never received my new bank/ATM card. Has a new number so now all the things set up for auto pay are now not working. Thank you US Postal Service of Colorado. We're tied for the worst service with the state of Utah.
I called the bank to get my new number so I can pay the bills, but of course they don't give that info over the phone. So if my website blacks out, you know why now.
Speaking of bad service, I still haven't heard from Qwest to get my phoneline. Need it for the Computer. Can't get digital cable here yet. Why? Fuck knows. On the good side, we can now get 45 bps on the phone lines now - that was unheard of two years ago when at it's fastest it was 27 if it wasn't windy.
While I'm bitching - If one more instructor doesn't follow offical policy for students with incompletes or grade changes I'm going to write up a very easy, 1st grader could understand, pictorial letter complete with puppet show How-to-do-things-properly-when-your-an-adult video accompaniment. I've also gotten 20 phone calls today from students that aren't getting return e-mail from their instructors. People, you're getting paid. Do your job. Thanks.
Academic Directors: Burn in Hell.
I've had 4 hours of sleep. Can you tell?
