I like money better than people. People can so rarely be exchanged for goods and/or services!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Oh, yeah, I got told the other day that my veins are tiny. The ultrasound technician was very vehement about this.

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

Manager still hasn't called me. How long should I wait before I call them again?

Tommy, we have a $1000 limit on debit card transactions per day.

Yeah, I think my bank has some sort of limit like that.

I obviously don't buy enough expensive stuff, as I didn't think of that when I tried to do it as a debit.

Call them again. This is your money.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, I wouldn't wait at all. I'd sit on hold until the shit got taken care of.

Am on hold. Got a different person this time - he's getting a manager....

OK, he told me their finance company handles stuff like this, and that they could reverse the charge in 24 to 48 hours. Then I told him that if they faxed the info my bank wanted to their fraud dept., they could reverse the hold in six hours. So nya-nya on their finance department. (OK, I didn't say that part.)

Hopefully this will go better than the time Comcast charged me $3300 instead of $330 - they weren't able to reverse it, so I had to wait 5 business days for the hold for $3300 to drop off.

25 minutes is totally respectable!

It sucked, but it wasn't nearly as awful as I thought it would be! I may need to buy an iPod shuffle, though, because the dudes have the TV on an incredibly boring sports channel and that's just not going to work for me.

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

I got told the other day that my veins are tiny.

My whisper thin veins get muttered about. I've grown to hate the sound they make when the needles in, but no flash.

They gave me 6 IM injections last time I was in. I ached for days. I prefer the IV hunt. Pain is more localised and usually briefer.
