They never did find the lost rent check for June. Since I habitually pay early and get signed photocopies made when I had checks in they knew it was their error. I wrote a new check today after I called in a stop payment. The bank fee was reimbursed by a discount on July rent. Felt good to take care of something for a change.
Kitty has been acting weird, not that my bizarre hours have helped either of us. She'll adjust.
I've been having a bumpy ride lately.
Weather on the weekend was awful with extreme heat breaking 100F (40C). I ran the AC to keep it about 20 degrees cooler.

A Piece Of History?
The infamous Goatse.cx domain is up for sale. If Duckie was awake I could see if he wanted to bid. I'll have to email him, bidding is already at $15K.
Read about using the goatse.cx image to get 200,000 Myspace users to stop linking to a pirate image on one guy's site.
In personal news I got my cable bill alert, went to their pay site and find to my horror my payment last month was not successful. I had made two payments in equal amounts online. Only one cleared. The other says "Eftrevrsl." I checked my bank balance and it wasn't a problem nor did it indicate a second payment was attempted. I paid the bill by plastic this time.
Duckie may have a point in just billing to a credit card and paying that card off each month. There might be less trouble than direct payments from the bank, troubles I've seen before. I also noticed the bank has taken $11 in "monthly fees" out.
Supposedly I was going to avoid that by signing up for their online banking. Obviously not. I need to get that sorted before they come around for May's "monthly fee." With a 0.2% APR on their saving account, do you realize how much I'd have to have in the account to earn back their fee each month? It's something like $132,000, isn't it? Not a chance in hell of that happening. If I had that kind of money to bank, I'd be a fool to take that kind of yield!
