So after a lovely lunchtime spent waiting at Washington Mutual to open a savings account linked to my checking, I found out that because the account was opened on the West Coast, I can't open a savings on the East and link it! The only way is to close the account and reopen it on the East Coast, but I can't actually do that beacause it is a joint account with MY FATHER! When, oh when, will I ever be completely independent? I don't necessarily want him off the account, beacuse it is easier for him to give me money this way, but come on, geez! I just wanted a simple savings account that I could transfer some of my paycheck to save for rent money! Why isn't the bank catering to my priveledged needs?!?!
Then. I got to stand out in the heat on my cell phone and try to make a gynecologist appointment. What fun. And, of course, I had to repeat over and over again over the traffic "Abnormal Pap Smear...Yes!" That was the reason I went outside in the first place so I didn't have to shout that over and over again in my cube. But, I do get to see a female doctor in Columbus Circle for my colposcopy in a relatively short amount of time. Plus, I will get to leave work in the middle of the day for it. If the appointment is at 10:30 and they want me to be there early there is no point in being at work for 45 minutes, so I will just be late. Whooppee. Now I can stop closing my eyes/gettting mad when the annoying "encourage-your-friends-to-get-a-pap-smear-regularly-to-avoid-cervical-cancer" commercials come on. I DO get regular pap smears stupid bitches. They don't say anything about the follow-up appoinments where they are going to burn my cervix or whatever.
Then. The dissappointment of Time Warner Cable. As my sister wrote about Project Runway in an email (my absolute favorite show) I realized that surely if she has Bravo, we must get Bravo and there has been some sort of mistake all along. I waited patiently on hold (this time in the air-conditioned cube, at least) only to find out we have some sort of Intro something-something double-play lite and if I want Bravo we would have to pay $98 instead of $69 ($72.50 with taxes). Double grrrrrrrrrrrrr..... The lady on the phone said I sounded disappointed. uh. yeah.
Now, I have to go prove my sanity to the woman who said
it is impossible that I am doing talent reports right, and that the computer is messing up. I miss my Wellbutrin.

That's entertaining that you called Time Warner Cable. Sorry that you are some poopy plan.
The West coast East coast bank fiasco made me extremely late for my own closing on my apartment. Dad's West coast money was having a hard time being made into a bank check for the occasion. It took FOR-EV-ER. I think you need to sever the account. Dad can transfer money into any account if needed - he has to mine before. I really think that once you have your own paycheck it's your responsibility to deal with it and not have him poking his nose into it.
