Spike's Bitches 42: Which question do you want me to answer first?  

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I'd imagine that from your end, it will probably look just the same for a long time, Todd. One thing that consumer advocate Clark Howard is recommending related to the bank mergers/failures is that you get paper copies of anything you do with banks on line, since the merging of two systems is a prime time to have things get screwed up.

Years ago, when our mortgage company failed and its assets were transfered, they put my husband's on the mortgage and left off mine. After the divorce, I had to go through the tortures of the damned to prove that I'd been paying a mortgage when I went to buy another house.

Oh, that's good to know. I do all my banking w/ Wachovia and they hold my mortgage.

Okay, so the department upstairs is having an event. They don't have enough space for it, so they decide to set up lunch in the fucking lobby of my building. The buffet line is RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY GODDAMNED DOOR. As a matter of fact, they were going to BLOCK my door with a table before I stopped that. This is fucking ridiculous. Their response "it's only for an hour". How rude is that? And on top it, they didn't even have the courtesy/sense/decency to invite me to have some lunch.

If that had been me, I would have come into the office and said "I'm in a bind, can you help? Would you mind if we used the lobby? And please feel free to have some lunch, it's the least we can do for the inconvenience" TACKY. Of course, I know her boss, and just ratted her ass out.

not your mom's socks.

no announcements yet for DH's division. Which leads me to think they're waiting for close of business.

And I wonder why my body is flipping out like a flippy thing. I'm fiddling on the internet instead of pacing.

happy thoughts happy thoughts.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

If I've asked you to repeat yourself more than once, give up on the speakerphone and pick up the dammned handset.
