Stuff. Sorry, no clever title today.

Tonight's the night. Lots of things going on today after work. I want to stop off and see if I can find a new shirt. Honestly, that's at the back of the list, but I'd like to look. I have to open a new bank account after the whole customer service issue I had with the bank I have now.

Customer service. I'm losing faith in a lot of it. Maybe that's why I'm so sugary when I'm on the phone. I know what's out there, and if I can be one person that stands out in someone's mind, by God, I'm going to be that person.

I had so much nonsense I was dealing with the other day, trying to get a deposit straightened out. I talked to 6 people, and not one of them spoke English as a first language. All of them, and I do mean ALL of them, were from the Phillipenes. And it just got me frustrated, because not one of them understood why I was upset. (They refused my deposit. Yet, couldn't tell me what was wrong with this one, and what was right with the first two that went through.)

I finally gave up after I asked to speak with a supervisor and got disconnected. I sent them an email telling them how upset I was with my customer service. I got a response all right.

It was copied and pasted. So obviously cut and pasted, which pissed me off even more! I responded to that, if you can't treat me like a human, don't bother. The account has not been cancelled yet, because I need my direct deposit to hit on next Friday for my trip. But trust me, when I come back from Vegas, it's first on my to do list. I'm actually going to be setting up a new account today.

No wonder the country's going to hell in a handbasket. Companies would rather outsource to other countries, than to give jobs to their own people. All to save a buck. One thing I'd like to see our new president do, is put a stop to that. Make these companies stay here! Or tax the hell out of them. Will he, I don't know. I don't normally follow politics, but this has been weighing on my mind so much lately.

Makes my stomach turn a bit actually.

But let's not start this wonderful Friday with this stuff. It will depress me and I'll stay in that mood all day. And it's a good day.

I don't want to sound like I don't care. I do. But when I can't fix it myself, it bothers me. That's why I don't normally talk about that stuff. I do what I can though. Or I try to anyway.

On my scarve project, I'm at 35 or 36. I can't remember. I didn't get to work on much last night, because I had to concentrate on cleaning my apartment last night. Cable guy's coming, but more importantly, Mom's coming. She's going to hang out and take care of that for me. So, the cleaning was more for her. She'll be happy to see full cupboards I think.

I'm making a cd for Kristian. I'm not sure that she'll like it. It's Josh Todd and Slamhound. Pre and Post Buckcherry stuff. Well, post old Buckcherry stuff. Josh did a solo thing when Buckcherry broke up before. Honestly, I love that stuff more than I love Buckcherry stuff. I used to have so much fun when I followed that band. Fun times.

And I'm going to make Melanie Sevendust. I'm pretty sure she won't appreciate them the way I do, but...

I love sharing my music because I feel like I'm giving people a gift. And this way, it doesn't force my tunes on them. They can decide if they like it or not, and if they don't... at least I tried, right? :)

I really am not up for the day. I wish I could've slept a little longer. Someone might want to check in with me around 7ish, to make sure I'm still breathing. And I'm semi sober. :)

It's going to be a good day. And an even better night, right?

Yeah, that's what I'll be telling myself ALLLLL DAY.
