Morning. It is a nice morning. It won't be as warm as yesterday, but it is still way above what normal for around here.
The office has an ice cream party for our first triple day, and then ice cream stays in the fridge until summer's over. Generally drumsticks, sandwiches, and the such. Every year I'm convinced to purchase healthy fruit-based popsicles and every year I throw out the remaining 5 from a box of 6 due to freezer burn. Cracks me up. But it does worry me that I may be supplying the office from March on. Not me personally, I just shop for it. I expense the cost.
Several years ago I had a credit card with a bank that shall remain nameless. I went into said bank said I want to pay off the card and close it out. I HAD cash. The very nice teller got the final payoff amount. I gave the bank the cash and closed the card. Then the next month I got a bill for closed credit card for $2.00. Not a lot of money, but still, the account was closed and I had gone INTO the bank to get the correct amount to pay off the dang thing.
So since the account was closed, I had to go back into the bank. This time I went to the manager and explained the entire thing. And she said don't worry about it, it's a mistake, I'll take care of it. I knew I was in trouble then. And YES, the next month I got a bill for the $2.00 plus a fine for $25.00 for lack of payment.
I had been a good client, never missed a payment, always paid more than what was due for the 10 years I had done banking with them and never bounced a check. So back to the branch manager who, of course, didn't remember anything, till I brought out the paperwork that she signed under the comment "don't worry about this". So she asked me to go online and pay. I asked how, as the account is closed.
Before this entire episode ended, I had 4 months of non-payment of a bill I may or may not have owed. And the balance for the closed account, before it was finally taken care of. But it took several trips to the bank and HOURS of time explaining and showing the documentation from month to month to month.
YPG, I love fresh or even canned pineapple. Alas, the acid in it does not agree with me. Enjoy a piece for me please!!!!
Have a great Thursday, all.
