Grrrrr. I just noticed my bank was charging me $5 per transfer from my savings to checking for "excessive transaction" fees. WTF! OK, a lot of automatic transfers had to be done from savings to checking this month to cover payments, but I had no idea this fee even existed. Feh.

There are before pictures and soon there will be after pictures. I'll try to get those taken this week and post them this weekend.

Cashmere, call up, act confused, and they may take them off. This has worked for me with overdraft fees, so it may work for you as well.

I am so exhausted. I have no idea how I will get through this month. I just want to curl into a ball and die.

Yay new house, askye!

Sounds like a good reason to have a bubblebath, Nora.

I *HATE* Capitol One. I didn't get in any car accidents while going to the store (although a motorcyclist clipped my mirror as he passed me, then flipped me off), but to counterbalance that, my credit card was declined. WTF? I have a big enough credit limit to buy a whole car, and I just made a payment 11 days ago. Turns out it's because the charge was made in Greece.

Like every other flipping charge on that card for the last 7 months.

Like I told them would happen before we moved.

But apparently they got confused because I bought things from Amazon using the same card, and those charges are in the US. So in case someone had stolen my card, they declined it.

You know what? If someone steals my credit card and uses it to buy $300 of groceries, LET 'EM.

Grr. There's nothing more embarrassing than having your card declined, unless it's declined when you don't even speak the same language as the cashier.

Of the good, the store's having a promotion, and I won 2 tickets on Superstar Ferries. (Although at first I read it as Superstar Ferrets...so I was a little let down.)

Also, retsina-flavored ice cream is the nasty.

Oh, Cashmere and Raquel, those are of the suck! I'm so sorry!

Calls have been made to all three Accountemps branches near me.

Now to write cover letters and tweak my resume for three possible job leads I gathered over the weekend.

Motivation~ma would be very welcome, as would any volunteers to look at the resume and/or cover letters.

Sounds like a good reason to have a bubblebath, Nora.

Sadly, that is not an option at work...

Sadly, that is not an option at work...

Which is, frankly, bullshit. Starts making signs for 'Workplace Bubble Bath" campaign.

Today I absolutely must finish the stinky schedule for the stinky sale, bring it into the stinky store, finish my cover letter for a new, less stinky job, send it in with my shiny resume, clean the entire house, then weed out some various clothes, cd, dvds, etc. that I can sell.

Lilty, let me know if you need a beta reader for your cover letters and resume.

Tacklehugs Anne.

I may take you up on the letter. I'm thinking out of trying out an experimental technique where I find a professional, well-phrased way of saying "Look, I know that my current job in retail is as different as can be from this position, but it HAS given me a, b, and c, and I know that I can do this."

If I can help you out, let me know, too.

ETA: Gah. I hate getting started on cover letters. Once I get going, I'm fine. But every way I think of starting that second paragraph sounds stoopid.
