choke on that causality

I just wanted to tell everyone to be careful if you decide to do one of these 30 day free trials. It worked out alright for me, since I used up all my free credit reports, and I didn’t want to purchase another one, so I opted for the free trial so I could monitor my credit score while I got all those issues cleared up that I had last month. But anyhow, tonight I decided to cancel it before I forgot cause I was so worried that I would. I was barely able to understand the customer service representative, but it all felt very shady to me. Like I said “I want to cancel”. And she kept saying “That’s okay. You can continue to use the services for the rest of the free trial period, and all the other great services…blah, blah…and it is up to you if you would like to cancel.” It was just too indefinite for me. I kept saying “But I want to cancel now. I don’t want to be charged.” I guess it just felt like she was brushing me off to let me think that it would cancel after 30 days…but it not really until I called back. I didn’t like it so I just kept repeating myself in a stronger and stronger tone, until she got kinda abrupt and finally just said, “What is your email? You cancellation number is xxx.” I didn’t like it at all. So beware.

Anyhow I mentioned above that you can get a free copy of your credit report from each of the 3 credit agencies (Equifax, Transunion, and Experian) once in a calendar year. Just go to annualcreditreport.com. They don’t give you your score, but at least you can check it out to see if there is anything odd. Plus you can issue disputes right from the website. Check it out if you haven’t already.

It’s always strange to me when I hear people talking about church. Someone down the hall has a prayer posted on the outside of their cubicle. I guess that’s alright. But I think it would be more appropriate to have that inside your cube. I dunno. That stuff gives me the willys. Starts making me feel like people are crazy pod people or some shit like that. Or maybe it just reminds me how different I am from other people.

Anyhow, I keep having these dreams about seeing people I know while vacationing in Vegas. Weird huh. It’s funny that in my dreams I have to go all the way to Vegas to see old friends who either live in the same town as me or at most about 2 hours away. I should be a better friend.

I can’t remember if I told this story. But the other day (to me the phrase “the other day” can mean months) I was talking to Mike in the car while he was taking me to work in the morning. And I mentioned something about my friend Carrie being pregnant. And was all like…wha? And I said, you knew that! And then he just accepted it, like Oh yeah. I must have been too drunk to remember being told that…yeah. So we continued to talk, and all of a sudden it dawned on me. You do know which Carrie I’m talking about right. My old friend Carrie, not the one we used to work with. Ha. If you knew the Cari we used to work with, you would see why it was sooo funny. But anyhow, isn’t it awesome that all I had to do to get him to accept this information was say…”I told you that. Don’t you remember?” Ha. Note that this probably won’t work anymore now that we’re no longer big drunks. But it was a funny moment anyhow.
