Random kinda things...

Here's a little tip for ya's...

If you have Nextel and pay the bill online, you know about the "submit" button and the little box that pops up and says to only hit the "submit" button once and that you'll get a confirmation page.
You may have also noticed the little "If Nextel security features refuse this for some unGodly reason, you still hafta pay your bill" warning under the "submit" button.

Whatcha might not know is that if ever you do click the "submit" button and, instead of the confirmation page, you get a "404" error message, you do NOT wanna keep re-trying it.

I, of course, found this out the hard way.

After trying SIX TIMES to get the confirmation page stating that Nextel had indeed accepted the $131 I was trying to give them for a bill, I got bored with that shit and decided to traipse on over to my bank page and just see if if it had maybe gone through anyway.

Well, it did.

SIX FUCKIN' TIMES!!!!

After I picked myself up offa the floor, changed my drawers, and got my vital signs back to "halfway" normal, I got in the phone.

First with the bank... "Our computer is down. Can ya call back later?"

Grrrrrrr...

Then, with Nextel... "Oh, we can take care of this. All we hafta do is fax your bank a letter releasing the payments and it'll be put back into your acount... *amid much stifiled giggling on their end of the phone*..."

Well, that'd be really nice since, thanks to your stupid page and my stupid, period, my account now thinks it's $317 in the hole and I do have other shit'll that being coming through...

So, then I end up in a three-way conversation with both entities at the same time, the upshot of which is, since my bank doesn't release temporary holds on funds "anymore" (meaning they musta done it at some point in their history), that my friggin' money is in some netherworld, waiting for two got-damned computers to get their shit in one sock and gim'me back my money.

Then, I get to try to pay Nextel again... IF I want.
*rolls eyes*
Yeah, I'll pay 'em... BY MONEYGRAM.

*siiiiiigh*

This, coupled with my renewed, strong-as-ever cold, has rendered me pretty much worn out before I even start, so I've just been sleeping as much as I can.
Every time I wake up, unless I hafta pee or something, I just take a coupla hits of Nyquil and make myself go back to sleep.

And, the two times I have managed to drag my ass down here, I've gotten a really cool message from two different people...

Bob... I'd LOVE to see Gettysburg with ya. Only thing that'd make me uncomfortable is if I haven't gotten this dental shit done by then, whenever it may be.
In fact, that (the dental shit), plus the fact that I've been nothing but blown off by my brother since BEFORE he even went to Iraq, I'm not stopping anywhere when I drop George off in Jersey this weekend. Except, maybe, for his Dad's house and even then, I've already told him to tuck and roll when we go slowly through his Dad's driveway and I fling open his door and push him out without even stopping completely.
I haven't even gone yet and all I want is to be back home already.

And, Cat... Thank you, man. I love you for that. And, again, as soon as I'm not embarrassed by my appearance, I swear, I'm gonna take ya up on that.
In fact, I've been trying mightily to talk George into goin' on down to Georgia this weekend, instead of making me go to Jersey.
I realize it's a three-times longer drive and all, but, I'd rather do 12 hours to heaven than three to HELL.
(Yeah, I hate Jersey...)

Besides, Cat... I miss you guys.

It was so nice hearing your big' ol voice with that gorgeous accent of yours that I saved the voicemail just so I can hear it again...
Love you, man... really...

And, now, if I don't stop, I'm gonna end up leaking about the eyes yet again, so I'm gonna.
Stop, that is, not leak.
I hope.
*grin*

In fact, I've been sitting here since about 3am and haven't even had a cuppa coffee yet, which, if ya know me, you know means there is something really wrong with me (which is this sumbitchin' cold-from-HELL), so I think I'm just gonna go get back into the warm waterbed and read.
Or sleep.
Or something.
(And, considering the fact that I'll be up there alone, "something" takes on a new and slightly twisted flavor, doesn't it? *lol*)

AAAnyway...

Peace, ya'll....
