desperanceYou know those days where you just need the universe to cooperate for once, you need to come home and find that something unexpectedly wonderful has happened, and it never actually has?
Well, yeah. One of those.
Meantime, in the real world, I wanted to transfer some money out of a credit card and into an overdraft. This ... shouldn't be difficult. Except that it is. For me, right now, it's difficult two different ways. It cannot apparently be done online, for reasons that escape me; it could be done at the counter of the bank in question, only it cannot, because when I dusted off the card I found that it was out of date and its replacement has escaped me, one way or another. Either it never arrived, or it came and I did something stupid with it. (Any bets that I received it and signed it and then just destroyed the new one rather than the old one? ... No, I thought not.)
Anyway. No card, no counter transaction. And the third part of my two-part problem? In a week's time I'll be in mid-Atlantic. Or preferably above it, but you take the point. Not here, to flourish card at recalcitrant bank.
So it's a race, whether the new replacement card gets here in time. If not... Well. Some more intricate money-juggling will ensue, I guess. But fuck, I'm frustrated. All I want to do is move this money from here to there, within the same organisation. I have online access to both accounts, on the same screen, for cryin' out loud. I ought to be able to drag-and-drop. And I can't. Snarl.
