Bank card fraud

Apr 22, 2007 18:23

This week it was my turn to have my card swiped. QOTD: "Oh, that's weird. There's already a deposit-only order on this card".

Also this week-end, my aunt was celebrating her 50th anniversary as a nun. I waited the table for the close family supper last night. As with each family reunion there's always a black sheep there to make some asinine comments. "It's in the Koran that all Catholics should be killed". "With Fortress North America, we could prevent all the Islamics from entering".

Remarkably, I managed to hold my tongue and avoided dropping plates or hot drinks. One uncle that usually tries to pick an argument noticed I wasn't arguing at all, a sign that I'm getting "better".

Today was the public reception. 50 people, mostly women with a median age of 70 were all there to celebrate my aunt's golden jubilee. All these women found me quite delightful. My reputation as a computer-fixer, waiter and my "You are here" t-shirt may have been to blame. I knew better than to wear the "Practice Safe Hex" t-shirt.

That's my life right now. No cash/bank card, 31, single, and really popular with nuns and older women. And getting "better" all the time.
