Me, that is. What a cocked-up day. I tried to make my credit card payment. I was saving a stamp and paying by phone. They said, "There is fee!" "$5!" And I'm like, "WTF?" So they say, "Online pay is free!" So I'm like, I'll do that. Well, I tried to do that in the afternoon. The brain-raping setup kept saying "Information doesn't match our records." "Wait 2 hours." So, like an idiot, I wait two hours. Same problem. I call them back, "Oh, is it asking for maiden name?" "Yes." "Well, that field is blank." "That's usually the problem people have when signing up online." Of course, this is not helping the blood pressure. They say, "Try now!" and I'm like "OK" and again it says, "Try again in two hours." "Oh, I'm sorry." I'm just like... bah... "let me pay on phone! I know there is fee!" And service person is like 'payment won't clear until Tuesday, it will be late!!!' I'm like... "Will paying online be quicker then?" "No." So them I'm thinking 'WTF did you bother telling me as if there was a way around this time lag.' So I paid the ****ing five bucks to make a ****ing late payment that will fucking cost ten dollars in ****ing late fees just so I could save one ****ing stamp. And I still can't sign up online. Mother-****ers!
Kitty came in, looking needful and started to cough. I was like, "Oh! Let's fetch hairball gel." She wanted to go outside instead probably for grass. I don't know if she got the grass or not. Why not? Because I noticed there were ants on the porch. I'm like... WTF are they doing... and then I track the bastards. Up the step, turn left, turn right, down the wall, cross the hall, into the kitchen. Of course I'm like, "****! Ants in the kitchen!" They were not at the trash, just milling around. I had found them at the start of their scouting it appeared. I took trash bin outside, found Windex (blue window cleaner with ammonia) and went on killing spree. Then I fetched ant baits from the supply Mother and I had gotten as caution. I put two outside on the edge of the porch in their path to the house so they would find them and hopefully decide that was better than what they found in the house (a single piece of cereal). I misplaced the other two from the package. I found them and put one by the entry door and one by the now completely empty and washed out trash bin in the kitchen, also washing down the porch. I think I stopped this invasion soon enough.
Anyway, my anger is up. Very upset with myself because I did not try paying credit card on Thursday instead so that it would've been processed before weekend instead of after. :/ Since this is a "known" problem with people signing up online, they are not competent to demand such confirmation (more than they demand via phone when you talk to them)!
Ants are evil?
I hope neighbor invites me over to watch some TV. Might help reduce my stress level? Mail was late today. Another different mail person that said something like, "small dog," to me. Whatever. I didn't really look at it. No bills, just junk it looked like.
Neighbor called. Watched Food TV. His wife was confused, couldn't find husband. Asked me many questions about my puppies (have only cat), where I parked my trailer, where I parked (asked two or three times), asked how I liked where I was living now, that Mother would come back when I got all moved in... it was sad. :( Father had confused days too. Neighbor tried to fake wife into thinking he was back by saying he had gone to water lawn. She bought that for awhile then later forgot and said she didn't know where he was. She did call me by name when I said goodnight though. Ants are feasting on baits I put outside. Die! Die! Die! I have more baits if they are that hungry! All the better to kill them with. I had three bowls of cereal today I think. Maybe two. I'm not even sure. It was a lousy day. :(
