Pretty necklaces!

In galactic news, I love how Pluto's all "bet you wish I were in your boring planet club now, don'tcha?" [link]

Payroll cancelled direct deposit to my old checking account, but they need a couple weeks to start direct deposit to the new checking account. Why? I don't know.

I know. The request for DD has to go from the paying entity to the bank, and then the bank has to approve it and get back to the paying entity. They won't take direct requests because of the possibility of fraud. This can take up to three weeks.

I'm in the ATL airport! ::waves towards Ginger:: Eating at the Sweetwater place. Cutie waitress complimented my Doctor Hoo t-shirt and keeps calling me beautiful. Almost makes up for the icky tea and mediocre burger.

Hey, Scrappy, my org is changing from bi monthly paychecks to biweekly. Is there a reason why my first paycheck of 2012 will be one week of pay, instead of two?

Relatedly, Zen, I am right there with you on money frustrations. It would also have been nice if I'd had ANY official notification of the change, instead of the rumor mills. My org has communication issues, for real.

Steph, I love the möbius necklace!

Nora was very patient with me this morning while I scurried about. I set my alarm for pm, thank goodness for backup alarms.

Oh, my god, the fucking mall, and the fucking people in New Orleans who cannot drive (ALL OF THEM).

Off to the hospital to visit my grandmother. My mom just said for the first time "It's probably the last time you'll see her."

(Despite those complaints, I haven't been having a bad trip.)

Ugh, that's a pain! I mean, I kind of like it for myself, with the "extra" paycheck twice a year, but if you've been counting on a certain amount of money a month it's awful!

Oh, Dana. Much ~ma.

Gar, I'm sorry. I haven't watched the Ref yet either...I have the DVD so I can.

I'm a little worried about driving in NC, as I've adapted to NOLA driving somewhat. OMG, it's going to be weird to be somewhere with roads instead of washboards. OH HAI LEFT TURNS I MISSED YOU.

meara, I've been on that system before, I just wish I'd had more notice to prepare for a gap week, and I don't get why there is one.

Shir, how is your mom?

An adorable toddler wearing a Batman shirt just walked up to me and repeatedly banged into my leg, which apparently is his way of hugging. Then he zoned out, drooling on my jeans. The father was horrified and apologetic, I was more worried about him mouthing my dirty jeans. It sounds annoying, but I was tickled. I like it when kids and dogs and cats like me.

About to take off!! Carolina, here I come, right back where I started from.

Man, I watched those AV clips of Chrismukkah the other day (I think someone here linked to them) and was all "Aww! The OC!!"
