Updating because so few others do!
Brief summary for those of you who don't know: my credit card company took $1000 out of my account instead of $100, killing me.
To my surprise, my bank agreed to reverse the overdraft charges incurred by my credit card company's error. This is ALMOST enough, after my paycheck was swallowed, to put me back into positive territory. Unfortunately they were unable to freeze my account, which means if one more thing touches that negative balance I'll get hammered again. And the credit card company, after several days, hasn't restored it...
I have a really, really bad feeling about this. Not to mention that I'm guaranteed to get hammered on my car insurance, if they don't fix it by the end of the week as they promised. That delay in and of itself is ludicrous, and if it does result in charges, you can bet I'll be calling them up to demand the money they cost me. Still, if it costs me rent and car insurance coverage, that may not be enough to solve the problems that will result.
I'm pretty well prepared to fight this as far as I can. I just wonder if it can ever be enough.
On a better front, I've been in a writing mood lately, and have produced a fairly decent amount of what I hope is fairly decent material. This has not been without its costs to my left hand. Ow. I wonder if I could learn Dvorak, but I couldn't use it at work even if I did...
...hmm, that would be an interesting crusade to start at work. UPMC benefits support alternative lifestyles, why not have UPMC ISD support alternative keyboards?
I have decided I dislike the phrase "alternative lifestyles."

And I suspect I would challenge a lotof its limitations and come out the worse for it. ::took a class on this way back in the day::
