I apologize for the nonserious nature of this diary, but since it IS near the end of the quarter, it's time to give to your favorite politician...if your credit card company will let you...
I was up early, unable to sleep, so I decided that I would take care of all of those political contributions I had been meaning to make all at the same time. The next day a hold was put on my credit card and I had to call Citibank and review each of the charges one by one (yes, I did give to a political organization, yes there was a charge in Philadelphia, and one in Colorado, and one in Wisconsin, and one in Ohio...)
Okay, so I did wonder if John Ashcroft was freezing my card or something, but I guess it was an unusual pattern for me. Then two days later, after having made a couple of other purchases, but NO political contributions, my card was put on hold again and I had to once again review all the political contributions.
Heh...now I feel special...
