We completed the refinance of the house today. Lovely people and a good rate and all the things you expect from financial people. It was very quick as well. Just the week before vacation and we closed today. I hear it is a good thing but I'm never quite sure.
One small glitch - I needed to get a specific amount of money so I could buyu into the cabin. When we closed the specific amount I needed was a little short. In fact I was $127 short. It's like - Hey, I need $20,000 and you are giving me $19, 873. Is it just me or did you fall short of my expectations here pal. I know it is a little thing but, what the hell, I needed $20,000 and I am a bit short. Oh, well.
Now the bank. Diane wrote is a check for $150 and our bank only coded it as $50 and send us a snarky letter saying, in essence, "How dare you" and you need to come in and rectify this. So Faye went in and confirmed and convinced them that it was indeed $150. This is when the bank, US Bank for those of you keeping score at home, failed big time. Even though it was their fault they essentially said, deal with it - get your daughter to send another check for $100 and it will all be fine. Now, Faye had not had the best day ever. In fact, it was bordering on a relatively crappy day and this was one of the camel straw things and she was not taking any shit from this penciil-neck at the bank. So she told him she wanted something for her time. SHe wanted $5 for her time and trouble. I wish I was there to watch. She eventually shamed him into giving her $5 for ehr time and trouble. I an pondering whether or not I am going to pull a Colonel Orme and march in there and make this guy cry. I think it is time to change banks - any ideas out there?
So there. I have blogged again.
Work is fun. I have been recommended to become an auditor. How exciting it will be to be shunned at all company events. It moight not be that bad. I still have to interview for it so nothing is set.
Must go and watch the Olympics and see if Michael Phelps can get hsi 18th gold medal.

Being shunned is the new socializing. You'll be ahead of the curve.
Banks are oy. On the other hand, I love our credit union. Very helpful and friendly and nary an error, to my memory. I, too, wish I could have seen The Faye deal with the banksters--you could make a movie just based on that scene alone. "The Faye Deals Justice."
ew. that bites! stupid banks!! but i am so proud of faye for getting the $5! that is AWESOME!
