I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

The only reason I haven't switched to another bank years ago is that I'm incredibly lazy, and nobody else seems to have as many ATMs.

And even if you do switch, they'll probably just gobble up that bank in a year or so anyway.

Citibank credit cards are a whole nother business from citibank consumer banking, I'm sure.

That's true.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

I was a Citibank credit card customer for 12 years, but closed that account with a bloody vengeance after they suddenly upped my rate tremendously and wouldn't budge back down on the phone. I have no idea what they were thinking - I have great credit and another company was happy to transfer my balance at an acceptable rate. They are officially A Company With Which I Will Never Do Business Again.

My friends who drive a Saturn got plates saying Tethys. Ah, science geeks.

I used to keep a list of the science geek plates here in Nerdlandia, but I've lost track of it. Suffice to say, you can just imagine.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I have to facilitate a meeting in just under an hour. On a project on which I haven't worked. I forget what to do!

Let me go collect my materials...

What did Chase just absorb?

I am happy with my Capital One Miles card and both Discover and American Express Blue (although I don't really use them) have both been painless.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

What did Chase just absorb?

Bank One.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

a white Volkswagen Rabbit with the plate "ML8 ML8."

That? Is brilliant.

Oh, yes.

The license plate that made me most want to high five the owner was the Toyota Cressida with the plate "TROILUS."

As is this one.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
