beansideYesterday was all set to be a bad day, and then I figured I'd call the bank, and see why the change. The dude I spoke with was very alarmist. He said it was something to do with the issuer of the check, that the check might have a stop payment or something like that.
So, I texted Lisa at the financial team, who basically said that the bank is on crack. So, during my break, I called them back. This time I went a little Karen-y, I will admit. And I got tossed from rep to rep, and held forever. Finally, they said to call them back. I did, and they said that Edward Jones couldn't verify the check.
So, back to the financial team, and at this point, I was pissed. I got nowhere with them, but figured I had nothing to lose if I called one more time. I called out of work for the afternoon, and called the bank back. Things looked grim, but then I got a really sweet rep. Shout out to Tasha, who went above and beyond to reach out to the local level, and get the check verified.
And lo, after six reps, two calls to Edward Jones and two and a half hours sunk into it, they released the full amount of the check into my account, and I used the rest of the day to pay a fuckton of bills, and get tickets for Ghost.
For the Baltimore show, they still had the Ascended package. Hopefully, the seats will be okay. Then, I got tickets for the Philly show the next weekend! Lower Level, good views, and booked a hotel room for Philly.
We'll get there around 3:30pm, have dinner at 4:30, then at 6, we'll take the hotel shuttle over to the Wells Fargo center for our second ghost concert.
It's going to be awesome. (After much research, I also picked up a couple pair of Loop Experience 2 Plus earplugs. I love Ghost, but I love my hearing, too.
So, as of this morning, my bills are all paid for the month, I have a grocery order coming tomorrow, and the farmer's market on Tuesday is going to be epic.
We also had really good Chinese food from Red Pepper Sichuan Bistro. Excellent Dumplings. I overbought mightily, so we all have plenty of leftovers.
Today, it's back to work. Then, I shall go forth and DM Frostmaiden. And now, off to prep for it.
Everyone have a brilliamt Friday!
