Do I want a pretty crystal bowl, a nice library globe on a 3 ft cherry stand, a watch I'll probably break, or something else equally non-utilitarian?
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Go globe, choose globe! I don't know why, I just think they're cool.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
I like globes!
However, I don't like people who steal my debit card information and charge thing on it, especially on a Sunday when no-one at Chase is there to catch it and don't know to call me until Monday morning, when I'm imformed of about ten unknown-to-me charges, including for a watch worth $499 (just under the $500 limit, you notice) that has left my account at -$442.
Fuckers.
They closed the card, but left my checking account open and will give me a temporary card to at least access the ATM, if not charge/debit items. Thank God Mom is here this week and is going to float me money to last until we get this all straightened out. Also, thank God I have zero liability on fraud with this bank, so they'll straighten everything out.
Grrrrrrrrr...

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Oh, man, Kathy, that bites. At least you're right on top of it -- and a good thing, too, since clearly Chase is as sucktastic as ever. Quick, quick resolution~ma to you.

Oh, jeez, Kathy. Did they steal your actual card or get the number from somewhere? I remember you had those two $57 thingys but I was hoping that would be the end of it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Huge PITA, Kathy, sorry.
Sara, I'd go globe.

I, for one, am appreciative of Frank picspam.
I really need to assemble another one to demonstrate what he's been up to lately, which involves nudity, bondage, and playing a wicked game of gay chicken.
shrift's enthusiasm has made me a little bit fannish, and I'm not sure I've even heard any of their songs.
Oh, you guys don't even know how much squee I've been holding back as to not make a complete spectacle of myself.

Oh, Kathy, that royally sucks. I am so sorry.
sara, is this like a work anniversary gift? Can you ask for a nice card and a gift certificate to some place like trader joes or target instead? I'm cheap like that.
If I can get my principal to agree, I can take a detached service leave which means I remain a district employee and keep my benefits but still get my new job. I am hoping that will pan out.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Kathy, that sucks. I hope it is easy to fix.
Kat, I hope it pans out for you.
playing a wicked game of gay chicken.
I'm really curious as to what this entails, so I hope you can find pictures.
