Banks are evil
It's Friday, and I should be looking forward to so many things - the quiet morning with the kids off at school; going to a basketball game tonight and listening to Sean call the game (listen live here, or listen to the podcast after); the weekend, with a Christmas party and a birthday party; the cold clear December day that brought us our first true taste of Father Winter.
Instead, as soon as I get Samantha off to school I'll get to waste yet another morning navigating the automated phone trees of banks and credit card companies, set up I believe with the sole intention of frustrating us until we throw up our hands and let them keep our money. The more frustrated you become, the more useless departments the person who finally answers the phone will find to transfer you to.
Listening to Sarah Mclachlan's "Wintersong" to calm myself. It's not really calming, but it is beautiful.

It's a database that tells you the quickest way to get to talk to a human. I haven't used it - just found out about it this week - so I don't know how accurate the directions are.
