BANKING!
Grrrr...
I am not liking banking in the UK. It isnt as easy as in the USA. I suppose it is just something I will have to get used to. But after getting caught in the rain the other day because I had the wrong pin, I am just not impressed at all. It seems that I cant log on with my account details and password set up at the bank because some number is being mailed. I called the help desk, and it was verified that I was in fact authorized but this number is also sort of an identifier, and without it being entered, I cant access the account online.
Let's just say internet banking in the US is more user friendly. And before anyone in the Uk says to me, "oh, you can do telephone banking" just dont. I am not a phone bank sort of girl. I like to see what I am doing and print out when I am finished to have a visible record.
Anyways. I am a bit irritable today. I bet you couldnt tell. Well, I decided to go around the internet banking and manually made a payment and set teh bill up for direct debit. SO, there... F YOU internet banking.
*sigh* time to shower and head out to Ninewell's and then to shop for Thanksgiving Dinner tomorrow. Yup, even though I am here, C and I agreed to practice this holiday every year. It is one of the holiday's I enjoy. I am hoping next year he will be able to take the day off. With the wedding, a weeks holiday and the funeral, it just wouldnt be good for him to take Thursday off. He is going to try and leave early though, we did invite his parents and grandparents, but I doubt they will show up.
Anyways... errands await.
