Just had annual review. Very complimentary, but that doesn't really help all that much, y'know? I'm glad my boss has lots of confidence in me, but that doesn't help get the work done...

(ETA: I should say, much better than that they give me too much work and then berate me for not finishing it! Could be much worse)

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

Hopefully my sister remembers what the hell I'm half remembering about the naming crap.

I just called to activate my replacement credit card, and I'm happily entering my CC# and stuff, and it hands me over to a person. I'm thinking something's wrong, but when I asked her "Why human?" she said "Oh, if a person's available they turn it over to us, for the personal touch."

I did mention that some customers are actually trying to avoid being touched, but I doubt Citibank will be taking me up on that.

Ouch ita! Did you notice this, or did the company? I'm always a bit worried it'll happen and I won't notice until I get my credit card statement (I have mint, but don't check it consistently)
