I'm Studying You

My sweet tooth is killing me.

Well, 1 out of 4 ain't bad. Actually, it is, but fuck it til it limps, I'll take it if it involves money.

If I keep checking on my debit card as often as I already am, I may have no fingernails left whatsoever.

This morning, via my phone's internet, I was able to track on the state department of labor's website my UI payment history. It looks like they are not releasing last week's claim (which basically only means I'll get it eventually) and they released one "day" for this week's claim (since they prorate your weekly payment over four days in a week instead of seven), so it looks like I'll be getting $72 after taxes as soon as it posts to my account. That should be 2-3 days from yesterday or today. Needless to say, it's been a boring and edgy couple of days, besides a twice-pulled quad muscle, lots of herbal tea and crossword puzzles done like an alphabet fiend.

And speaking of using my phone for online chicanery, bust this: tried checking my debit card balance through the issuing bank's website. What a freaking joke.

When I try to check my balance on an actual computer, boom, no prob...enter my username and password, and my balance pops up. Sweet.

But when I use my phone to look up the website, after putting in my username and password, I get prompted with one of six...six!?! ...security questions I had to answer when I signed up for online access. And they are by far the dumbest questions. Whatever happened to the simple old standards...your mother's maiden name, your father's middle name, etc etc. But nooooo...the question that I keep getting and then getting stumped on asks me what my favorite candy is. WTF?!? I don't eat candy that often! But I know what I like (**ahem** Reese's peanut butter cups, if you're keeping score at home). Or so I thought... I don't remember actually typing "peanut butter m&ms" as my favorite. And what's worse is I don't remember if that line is case- and/or space-sensitive...M & M's? m&ms? MM's??

All I know is I about ate half a bag of Starlite mints trying to figure all that out. And I know those are something I like, but not necessarily a favorite.

I think I'm in need of a nap. I'm in need of something, that's for sure. Boredom is killing me and my body is fatigued to Brett Favre levels. But who would I be without saying happy birthday to the lovely and very talented chicochica . Hit up her blog or birthday forum if you haven't already. The years, they have been kind to ya, Lisa.

Aight y'all I gotta be out, so peace out and take the scenic route. Have yer bad selves a weekend of fantastic happenings.
