A bloody nose?
How did my day end with me crying and my nose bleeding all over my living room floor? Ugh. For some reason I was frustrated most of the afternoon. Last night I had to cancel my ATM card, having left it in my rental car on Sunday night.
When I got to the gas station I slipped the ATM card into my pocket and thought, "Make sure to take that out, don't want to lose it." Last night I went into my purse and there was no ATM card. I searched everywhere and called it in as lost.
Today after work I went to the Edgewater branch of my bank to order a new card. The branch manager told me that since I've had so many lost cards in the last two years, I am a liability to the bank. I may not be ALLOWED another ATM card. WHAT THE FUCK?
I started crying.
A liability. A liability? Every time I almost have my finances in order to get a mortgage--something stupid happens. Like I lose my ATM card coming home from a funeral and become a liability. A liability doesn't get a mortgage.
Instead of a rational argument or discussion, I started crying. I couldn't help it. She ignored me and said she's seen people with WAY more cards than me and I'll probably get approval from the VP. I just sobbed. I couldn't get the stupid PIN machine to take my numbers, so she thought I was stupid again. She didn't even offer me a kleenex? She just treated me like some numbskull who throws ATM cards into the wind...
Then I leave and spend the next three hours shopping. But since I don't have my ATM/VISA card, I don't have the ability to make a deposit of my paycheck or buy anything not using my credit card--because who in chicago accepts a check? Nobody.
I get home with NO Christmas presents (although I did get myself two new books, a DVD, and a phone accesory) and turn on my computer. Spidey jumps onto my lap, shedding all over me. I walk over to my coffee table for my new Lint Brush.
Next to the Lint Brush is my bank liability. My missing ATM card. Now canceled. Can't go back. Have a black mark on my bank history and a useless unlost ATM card. I sat down on my coffee table and started sobbing. Then there was blood everywhere.
To support my eyes, my nose gave out. Who gets a bloody nose over a bank misunderstanding?
Oh heck Leah, my daughter just closed on her first house and she can't
balance her checkbook and keeps bouncing things. Not to worry THEY WANT TO
LEND MONEY believe me!

leah - if you have any questions in the future in regards to credit feel
free to call your friend geoff since he knows all three credit bureaus
extensively and does business loans that range from $10,000 to well over
$1,000,000. clean credit is the best way to get a great rate on any type
of loan.
