I totally need to pay more attention...

As I mentioned in Saturday's post, I went to the library for the first time in a couple months that day. Part of the reason was that I couldn't find one of my books and partly because I new I had a big overdue fine ($12) that I wasn't quite ready to pay. I paid it while I was there with my credit and signed the receipt without really looking at it. Whoops. Today I got a phone call from the library (it was odd getting a call from the library from an actual person) and apparently rather than charging me $12 for the fees, they had charged $412 to my credit card. Yikes! He wanted to be sure that it was in fact an error so that they can refund me the money. They tried doing it today but they couldn't without my card so I have to go to the library tomorrow. At least I am getting the money back. So today's favourite thing is vigilant accounting people. I feel like an idiot for not checking more thoroughly myself though.

Money. money, money, money......monay!

Today, I got paid. It was less than usual but more than I expected given the amount of time I have not been working these past couple of weeks. With the money, I was able to pay off both of my credit cards and still have some money left over - hopefully, to last me another couple of weeks without putting anything (or very little) back on my credit cards. It's nice not having to worry about paying them off, and to have money left over. So today's favourite thing is being able to pay off the credit cards and still have money left over.

That's what I call customer service...

Today I decided that for the first time in the 5ish years I have had one of my credit cards, I would sign up for online banking for it. I have online banking for all my other accounts but hadn't gotten to it for that particular card yet. Unfortunately, I was having a difficult time signing up for it online on my own, so I decided to call the customer service line. I was doubtful that I would get it fixed tonight because I was calling after 11pm but I actually got throught. They fixed the problem and I am now able to look at my statements online which is awesome. So today's favourite things is customer service call centres that are open late.
