I'm being stalked by my credit card company. And not for the reasons you'd think.
I'm not overcharged, overdrawn, or overstimulated. I'm withdrawn, if anything.
They keep sending me new cards. Not replacements for expired cards, just new cards with higher credit limits. I've never called to activate the new card, since the current card works just fine. And it's used only rarely, only if I'm shopping online or travelling.
I was still treated to a full two minutes of "Press one! PRESS ONE!!" on my answering machine at lunchtime. The CC company's automated dialer is in an all-out panic that I'm not gorging myself at their well-appointed capitalist buffet. Advantage me, for this one. I've got the delete button.
To catch you up on the weather, here's today's Faintwatch update:
Today's high temperature at 5 p.m.: 100F.
Spacecolonfaints: 0. (holding steady!)
Tomorrow's predicted high temperature at 5 p.m.: 104F.
Waves of heat are rolling off everything. Even the medicine cabinet!
