Damn the man!

Sure, I was nice when I was on the phone with my bank’s customer support today.  It’s been a week since I reported fraudulent activity on my debit card and had the card canceled.  And yes, I realize they had to launch an investigation and then issue me a new card.  But I use my debit card all the time!   And, well, it’s almost Crummas!   There are presents to be bought.

Yes, I was nice and helpful and understanding on the phone.  This is the voice in my head that, without that lovely social filter in place to remind me that to get what we need or want we have to play nice with others, this is what I might have said instead:

Damn the man!

    The kicker to this is that the mailman just came… and guess what was in the mail?

    good! i’m glad it came… now do you need to re-set your PIN, or are they going to ship you a new one?

    it was still funny, though… *snicker*

Jeri -- Personal
1. Eliminate that one thing that keeps holding me back
2. Start a Happiness Project!
3. Complete 1/3 of my 101 tasks (101 Things in 1001 Days). For you non-math folks, that means I need to complete 34 of them.

Jeri -- Professional

2. Follow my passions and trust FM will take care of me and itself
3. Network! Stop hiding behind the façade of "modesty".
4. Let go of the small stuff. All of it. It's not worth the time, energy or emotion.

Razbaby --
1. Pass my Canine Good Citizen test
2. Learn to socialize a little better (aka not the way I do with Marzi cause other puppies don't like it when I roll them and chew on their muzzles)
3. Keep up the cute!
