susandennisNot outside this time, but inside. Our building is having an air conditioning problem. Only in some areas - I got the short straw. I'm giving it until 3 (45 mins) and then I'm out of here.
American Express continues to amaze me. For more than a year now I have been trying to get a new advisor for my Mom's account and the address changed on my Mom's account. I finally got the address changed. The advisor must have naked pictures of the American Express CEO doing it with a donkey or some other hold over the corporation. Removing him from an account appears to be impossible.
I tried paying my dues to the Microsoft Alumni Association - their website says they accept American Express, Discover, Mastercard and Visa. Turns out they only accept Mastercard and Visa. I think the other two must be listed to annoy people. It totally works. Micrsoft does some very good things. But Microsoft also does some things very stupidly. But, they are clever enough not to have an established, recognizable pattern. (The Alumni Association is only loosely affiliated with Microsoft but still...)
I'm giving serious thought to one of those spam filter services. I use sort of one now but I want non-whitelist people to have a shot of getting to me - a simple test or at least a response saying why I might not have seen their email. The service I use now is really for reporting spam. I'm not that good a citizen. It lacks some services I want.
I'm spending more energy than necessary worrying about this stupid appraisal tomorrow. I'm trying to work through all the various options of what might happen and get ready for them all. It's more than 24 hours away. I need to set it on the shelf until then.
