Banks have caused me more stress than even teens. Evil.
I like pancakes 'cause they're stackable. Ooo, and waffles 'cause you can put things in the little holes if you wanted to.

JZ, excessive transactions fees? WTF?

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Well, you know, I guess it's really expensive for them to run a website, and if you do more than 10 things online per month you run the risk of making the servers exploderate, which would probably cost them at least $10.
I mean, it's only Wells Fargo; it's not like they can afford something spiffy and ita-designed. I guess our overenthusiastic balance-adjusting was throwing their hamsters off the spinny wheels, or caused them to have to run to the hardware store for another roll of duct tape.

Bleh. I'm sorry you have to deal with Wells Fargo. I wholeheartedly recommend doing one's banking at a credit union, if ever you decide to change banks.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
JZ, call and vent at WF Customer Service. Or, go in tomorrow and talk to a Real Banker (TM). Odds are good they'll refund the fee this once.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I own way too much stuff. I can't even get started packing until I throw away the stuff I don't want, and so far, that's something like five garbage bags full, and there's still a ton of junk left. (Ordinarily I'd try to freecycle the usable stuff, but I really don't have time to deal with that.)
Also, after seven years of having my own kitchen, I'm still stuck in the "What? I have to do the dishes again? But I did the dishes two days ago!" mindset.

Things I accomplished today:
- Going out to lunch with a friend from work (who works totally different days from me, so we never see each other there).
- Walked to farmers' market, shelled out $9, came home with 2 green peppers, a pint of adorable little teeny baby cucumbers (smaller than cherries), 5 Japanese eggplant, 2 slender yellow summer squash, and a kohlrabi.
- Went to the grocery store and acquired some fancy olives from the olive bar, tomatoes, cherries, red bell peppers, some frozen veggies, and a couple chuck eye steaks.
- Scrubbed out the kitchen trash can. The less said about that, the better.
- Brought some laundry in off the line.
- Made a vegetable stew with several of the items listed above.
- Made a southwestern corn salad, omitting green onions because clearly I did not buy enough fresh produce today.
- Made brownies, kinda goofing it up - box mix, instructions call for 1/4 c. water and 1/2 c. oil, but I used 1/2 c. water
- Took a nap.
- Read some.
- Crushed some castles.

I wholeheartedly recommend doing one's banking at a credit union, if ever you decide to change banks.I agree. CU's are so much better. JZ, sorry you two have to go thru this BS. Clearly they want to smack you with a fee somehow. If you were doing the transfers at ATM's, I might understand, unless you were using WF ATM's. But online? @@
I can't even get started packing until I throw away the stuff I don't want, and so far, that's something like five garbage bags full, and there's still a ton of junk left.When I moved to TX, I stopped counting how many bags. Lots of junk. I filled a pick up truck with old equipment, computers, cables. And then anything that wasn't junk, I'd put in the alley by the dumpster. Most of it went within a few hours. As I brought more stuff downstairs, the previous stuff was gone.

Now tagless for your comfort.
That excessive transaction fee is BULLSHIT. First they charge you for using live tellers, now they charge you if you do too many transactions ONLINE?? WTF?
These fees are designed to hit the people who can least afford to pay them the worst and are such a horrible fucking way to do business.

Too many transactions is ridiculous, indeed. Though I guess maybe it's like how I'm only "allowed" to write a certain number of checks per month on my savings account, because it's a savings, not a checking?
I'm sad, because I hauled ass three hours drive home in order to meet up with two friends for dinner--I've been looking forward to this for WEEKS (it's been on the calendar for a month)...and it just got cancelled!! No yummy food, no fun conversation. WAAAH. And we're all so busy not sure when it can be rescheduled, if anytime in the next few weeks. (The one person has a dog who is sick, and the other one was cutting out of work and agreed no point if it's not all three of us...)
