Reminder...

There are people on the net that have nothing better to do with their time then be nasty to other people online. They post rude comments, spend hours a day talking about sites they hate so much, that they well, spend hours a day talking about them. (lame) They mock the owners and posters for their opinions and their right to free speech. They expect everyone to fit into their narrow-minded little world view or else they throw a temper tantrum.

To these people I say grow up.

Here's a bit of info people...the web is a HUGE place. If you don't like what I say here, or who I am, or what I do, or talk about, or what I look like, or the color of my hair, or whatever asinine thing you dwell on, go somewhere else. It's really, really easy. Honest. You just click the little "x" in the corner of your browser and *poof* the offending, big, mean and nasty site has disappeared.

I pay for this site. It's mine. That means I can use it for whatever the hell I want to. Don't like it if I'm bitching about something in my life? Oh fucking well. Go somewhere else. Think I'm stupid for expressing my thoughts? Too fucking bad, don't read them. Somewhere along the line, someone forgot this simple fact: Live and let live Don't like me, cool, fine, whatever, I don't care. This journal is NOT for you. It's for me. I'm not in it for popularity or fame or anything stupid like that. I write it because I need to write and express myself and get things out of my head sometimes. So read or don't, it doesn't matter, but don't waste my time (or yours) bitching about it.

PayPal Is Pissing Me Right Off
Ok, so I have a Business Class PayPal account. Means I can take payments via credit card and stuff for my items. Also means I get a PayPal Mastercard Debit Card. Which is super handy. I can use the funds in my account to buy things anywhere you can use a mastercard. Which is like, everywhere from the grocery store to amazon. Handy.

Starting in January, I got emails letting me know that my card was expiring (February) and that I should be on the lookout for the new card. To check my primary address in my account and ensure it was correct. And that when it arrived, to make sure to go online, login and activate it. Easy enough.

January came and went. First couple weeks of February came. No card. So I call them. Long distance. With a stupidly long hold time. Finally talk to the lady who says that the card has not yet been sent because they send it two weeks out before it expires. Don't worry, it's on it's way and I'll get it soon.

No card arrives. I email them. No response. Today, I get fed up because Monday is the last damned day of the month. And I had already gotten an email saying, "Last reminder email to activate your new card!" Well, I'd freakin' activate it if it ever showed up!

Call again. 20 minutes on the phone and this is the story I'm getting. We're sorry but the card did go out, but it came back returned. What? It's the right address. It's confirmed (meaning it matches my bank account). I use it all the time for things and clearly there's no problem. So, send it back out again I say. Take an envelope, write my address on it and stick my new card in it and send it off. Oh no, clearly things don't work like that. The "solution?" Wait until after Monday. Let my current card expire. THEN, login to the website and request a new card. Wait TWO WEEKS and hope it shows up this time.

What...? Why can't YOU just put in the request NOW for the card to be resent? Why the hell do I have to wait until it expires and then request a new one AGAIN? This makes no freakin' sense to me what so ever.

Just one of those days where I'm reminded how much I generally hate people.
