There's a breakdown on the runway...
Bonus points to anyone but Nix and Cari who get that reference.
Okay, haven't posted for a couple of days, mostly because I'm tired of whining. Suffice to say, it was a shitty few days, especially on the financial front. But, it's been mostly sorted out, and I'll get there.
It just always amazes me how a simple kindness from someone can make your day, or hell, your week. See, I joined CCCS when my bills became overwhelming after mom's heart attack. (nothing like coming back from your vacation and draining your account to keep the family afloat so you can't pay down the credit card.) But I left a couple of cards with lower balances off it, figuring I could pay them off with no problem.
Then, I got pneumonia, and to be honest, it didn't cross my mind. So...now that I'm feeling better, I remembered those two bills. Texaco was no problem. Got it up to date, it's all good.
Cap One was harder. By the time I remembered that it wasn't on the plan, I had racked up $200 in late fees. So, I called them this morning, to see about getting a payment plan together.
The first guy I talked to was a dick. He just kept going around in circles about company policy, and I should put it on the CCCS, etc. Fuck that. I asked for a supervisor, and got Jenni. She was so perky and cute that I should dot that i with a little heart, I swear it. I told her the story, and she put me on hold to see what she could do.
Two minutes later, she's back, telling me that she's credited my account all the late & overlimit fees, upwards of $230 worth, and if I just give them $77 this month, I'll be up to date. Oh, and she's glad I feel better.
*blink* Someone who wants to be helpful? Is this allowed? I think Jenni may have just saved my sanity...
Oh, and my fucking muses are back in force. Go figure. And not the fluffy puppy ones, noo...
Two mid-life crisis specials coming up, thank you. I knew listening to the Eagles last night was a bad plan.
*grin* Sadly, I'm so happy to have real angst, I don't even mind it.
