So... I lost my ATM card on Saturday night. Again. The replacement card that they're sending to me is my fourth one WITHIN THE LAST YEAR. Woop-dee-doo, i lost my ATM card twice. I feel so effin' stupid. Kids lose their stuff all the time, because they're kids. They leave things lying around and forget about them. They set things down and leave them behind. They don't check to see if they have all their belongings on them when they leave premises. Because they're kids. And here i am, 27 years old, losing my ATM card about every half a year or so. The folks over at Citibank must really enjoy sending me a new card, three times already now. I feel so effin' stupid.
I'm now over the emotional outburst that resulted from finding out that i had indeed lost my cards. Yes, plural, because i'm so good at this that this time i actually managed to lose my student ID also. Like losing one card isn't enough of a hassle. But really, i rant but i'm no longer upset. I mean, what can i do about it, right? They're not going to make their way back to me by crying and getting upset. I'm really just ranting. And doing the damage control.
Last night i called Citibank and asked for a new card. Good thing Citibank don't charge for replacement of lost or stolen card, but they're rather slow at sending the new one. It should be here by August 4th. That's one week without an atm card, no way to draw money out of my account (and being me, of course i didn't have cash on me when it happened), and no online access to my bank account. And, one week until i need to go online and change all the payment information on my accounts. Amazon. PayPal. eBay. ComCast. Fan-frickin'-tastic. Today i also went to the Cal card center and got a new student ID. $25. Frick. But at least things move on pretty quickly there. Within half an hour i had had my new card on me and with all its card key access fully restored. Oh, there's also the class pass, of course. On my old student ID was a class pass that we use to board the buses for free. I take the bus every day to school. It will be another 23 days until they issue a new pass for the Fall semester, but if i buy one to replace my lost one i will have to pay $40. Great job, Shobes.
Oh well. I'm over it.
On a side note, yesterday i was pulled over by a cop. How fun. My first time being pulled over happened before i even got my license. The officers were nice however, and they let us go with not even a fix-it ticket. They told us that our plate light was out and the registration sticker is faded, but when we checked afterwards, both our plate lights were on!!! How strange...
