Back in Southern California. I had a lot of fun this weekend. Requiem took good care of me and Ltrain, giving us a place to stay and a ride all over the place, and he even took us to a winery for a tasting and tour. biggrin

The Lusty Lady Benefit was...well, it was great to meet some of the SGSF people, even if it did take us a few minutes to work up the courage to say "Hey, aren't you ________?"

Ate lots of yummy vegetarian food, including indian pizza at my all-time favorite pizza place (one of the reasons I wanted to go back to SF, and the only place I know of where you can get pizza and pakoras in the same place), and a tasty ice cream place that Olivia suggested. It was really great to see those that I'd already met again, and to meet those that I hadn't yet met. I just wish I could've stayed longer, as there were a couple people I didn't get to see.

Ok. Time to call the insurance company. frown

*crosses fingers*

UPDATE: I don't hate automated customer service phone systems. I do hate said systems when they FAIL MISERABLY. So I had to make two important phone calls today: 1) The student loan peoples to see about making a partial payment so they don't make my financial life difficult for the next 8-10 years, and 2) The credit union, to get the info for my insurance company since they never sent me my insurance cards.

1) It's 3:30pm (6:30 eastern). I call the student loan people. After maneuvering through their telephone system to try to speak to a representative, I get a polite message informing me that their system is down for maintenance and that I should call back during normal business hours, Monday-Friday 8am-9pm eastern. Huh!? mad

2) 4:00. I call the credit union. I get transferred through 3 different people, get put on hold for 20 minutes, and then get redirected to Member Insurance Services. Eureka! ...or not. This particular system seems to think waiting 10 seconds will be a horrible inconvenience for customers, because after a brief "we're busy" message, it suggests pressing 1 for immediate assistance. Pressing 1 results in the credit union's operator answering and offering to redirect back to Member Insurance Services, which again suggests pressing 1 and doesn't provide the option of not pressing anything and simply WAITING. mad mad mad

So yeah. Nothing got accomplished today. Oh, and Verizon's trying to overcharge me. What a great day. skull

Hope your day is going a bit more pleasantly than mine.

I hate those damn automated systems. the college loan people are the most difficult to get a real live person to talk to but they have always been so pleasant, so I forget about how mad I am by the time I get connected.

cheer up happy smileys for bean! smile smile smile love love love kiss kiss kiss kiss
