Glitches

Yesterday I got a call from our gas supplier. Our bank draw bounced. Made no sense to me or Nina, the money was there. And then some. So a night of anger, questioning, checking and vomiting was the result of a computer glitch. I was at the bank this morning, first thing, angry and determined to close our accounts and move everything to a different bank. It was all a mistake though, but it still cost me $225, which I will get back, but that’s for next week.

At the time, no one could get into the bank’s computers, not even the tellers. Andy’s paycheck also bounced at that same time. Andy was as mad as I was, but his anger was directed at me.

I get it. I really do. Computers lock up. Freeze solid. Hell, I still make money fixing some people’s computers, although less and less every year. It still pisses me off when it happens and costs me money, and trust.
