My bank is driving me crazy.  For the longest time I had set it up so I could pay certain bills online.  I’ve been doing it for a long time.  Now suddenly when I went to do this tonight, they said I didn’t have those accounts set up.  When did they change it?  Why wasn’t I told about it?

     Frustrated, I jumped through their hoops and tried to set it up again.  After wasting a couple of hours—yes I said hours.  I still was unable to pay the bill I wanted to pay.  Every time I tried, they gave me a present—an error message.  Grrrr.

     Well for cripes sake in the time it took me to jump through all those hoops I could’ve written out dozens of checks.  Which I did anyway for the bill I wanted to pay because the stupid system wasn’t letting me make the payment online. 

     Of course, it’s the wee hours of Monday morning so I can’t ask them why.  Nor can I ask them what happened to what I’d had set up and been using.  Maybe the postal service complained to the banks and they decided to glitch everything so we’d have to mail our payments in.
