If I were Jewish I would be holding the back of my hand to
my forehead bellowing “Oy-vey... what a day!”
I did not make it to the art center board meeting this afternoon, instead
I had a memorable ride in a tow truck. The tow truck expense is mercifully covered by
the roadside assistance part of my car insurance, the repairs I am afraid will
not.....AND there is more, upon arriving
back home I find out that our automatically drafted mortgage payment was declined, they say the bank account had been closed….ARE YOU
KIDDING ME….that account has been open since 1979, (I maybe close to holding a record somewhere for the longest open bank account!) and since 2002 they have successfully drafted 168+ consecutive mortgage payments! One and a half hours on the phone and
the mortgage co. still insists it is the bank’s fault and, of course...yes... you knew it..... the bank
claims it is the mortgage company’s fault.
This all comes on the heels of my marvelous DMV adventure to attend to another colossal screw up that I had no responsibility in creating. The common thread through each of
these, is I did everything required of me. I dotted my I’s crossed my T’s on time with the correct amount of money and account numbers , The error that created the problem is clearly not mine. But the expectations are that I locate and repair their errors! Crap...I can barely keep up with screw ups I make on my own and I AM responsible for. When did the errors of large companies,
become the customers responsibility to track down, prove and correct? I have spent hours on the phone and in DMV waiting lines tying to fix errors someone else made without the benefit of their computers and logical customer service. I will not be receiving a paycheck for my time from Wells Fargo, Regions Mortgage or the Florida DMV....In fact Regions Mortgage and Florida DMV had the unbelievable moxy to tell me with a smile, that they were not charging ME extra fees or late charges! AGAIN....ARE YOU KIDDING ME????
I was told these things might happen after all “Mercury is in retrograde”. I do not know who I should see about
sending that stinking retrograding somewhere else besides all over me! If there is any silver lining the tid-bit of good news, has to be if “shit”
truly comes in 3’s…I should be done!
