Aug. 15th, 2006 03:40 amOh, BTW: out of curiosity because of recent discussions, I got my free credit report from one of the big guys just now: I'd like to note that a) I have an obscenely high credit score for someone who has been under-self-employed for the past few years, especially given insane things like charging jaunts across the country I couldn't afford on my credit card (really, how gullible AM I?) and b) one of the things they recommend to raise my credit score as they count it is... to have more credit cards.
Yes, folks. This is the way the current banking industry works. The more credit is already extended to you, the more they want to give you. Because after a certain point, like years of loan and credit card payments on a timely manner, they don't figure you're gonna default. /They just want to make sure they're going to get a piece of the action/.
This is what rewards cards and rolling due dates and 'credit protection' and 'special interest rates on balance transfers, just a 3% transaction fee' are all about. Getting a piece of the action if you happen to be a responsible spender and pay things on time.
Annual fees are more honest.

Aug. 15th, 2006 10:16 amARRRRRGH.
JUST ONCE I WANT TO SLEEP SOUNDLY.
Now I'm worried about our cats because apparently one of them is at the humane society. >_<
Apparently some idiot trapped/had him trapped for killing birds.
It amazes me that animal control would even BOTHER with that. What next. "I want this coyote arrested. It's killing my wild birdies?"
*worries about her kitties*

Aug. 15th, 2006 12:46 pmGod, I'm just hoping tonight at work isn't hairy as last night because it doesn't look like Leti's getting any more sleep this afternoon. Thanks, Mom, love you to pieces. Next time when Leti hasn't got nearly enough sleep and is trying to nap, here's a clever idea: Don't wake her up and ask her to run errands in the middle of her nap. It makes for a much more civil Leti.
And I'm not sick yet why?
Aug. 15th, 2006 10:07 pmNot quite fifteen hours of sleep in the past three nights - and this is the
worst few of about two /weeks/ of low sleep.
Today I have eaten 1 bagel, 2 cups of mocha, and three cans of cola.
My brain is turning off. I'm hitting the good old point where I can not process
the spoken word; it takes me sometimes several minutes to translate those funny
sounds people are making as they look at me into actual words.
If you see me online when I get home from work tonight, tell me to go to sleep.
Please.
