I'm starting to get the impression I'm typing into a vaccuum here... but that may just be a perception founded in my increasing sense of isolation in general.

Metro, as usual, totally dropped the ball this morning, as they hit 45 minutes delays from breaking a goddamn *cleaning* truck on their rails. Last I checked they still are behind. That's just great, guys, I love being super-late to work because you're incompetent morons. Just what I needed. Oh, add on to that the employees SCREAMING at us as we tried to get to the escalator, because we committed the cardinal sin of walking towards the one we were blocking. Classy. Meanwhile their complaint form on the web has degenerated to "Thanks for your comment, don't write again." I swear I am not making this up.

Other thoughts:

-- I normally run with a high-risk investment profile in my retirement plan, but this last year I'd been lazy and not switched it away. Probably a good thing, since apparently the stock option I'd have preferred had a -40% return. I put in to have my password for the website reset, but apparently their information technology is a decade or so back, since they apparently have to *mail* it to me. Oh well; note to self, once I get it, cash in on the market crash, be wealthy in retirement!

-- Citizens Bank dicked me over by failing to close my account when I requested it, when I'd moved. Now that's a big blemish on my credit report (or at least the one I checked) saying I had it 60 days past due. My report is pretty damn clean otherwise, so than one thing alone could be zinging me 100 points. I called Citizens to ask them to please recognize that THEY screwed up and would they please correct it, only to get the ultimate brush-off. So now, angry letter writing campaign. Just what I wanted!

-- I think I have a plan for cleaning the basement a little. I hope.

-- Yu-Gi-Oh The Abridged Series is hilarious. Seriously.
