Money calm

NetBank is so far being much less bastardly about QuickPost follow-through then their website suggests. Someone is there is looking into the matter for me. Really I should have had more faith in them; in three years I've yet to have an unpleasant customer-service experience with this bank. Not to say they're off the hook yet...

Meanwhile, I had another check on my desk, so I made my first-ever via-ATM deposit yesterday. First I had to find out where the NetBank-deposit-friendly ATMs around Boston are. One of em happens to be a block away from ITA... how about that. (None are otherwise anywhere near my house.) And the money seems to have actually posted, so that solves my rent woes. (I gave Ms. V her check yesterday anyway, figuring that the issue'd get solved one way or another by the time it cleared.)

One day after they stopped accepting new QuickPost deliveries, UPS's webpage for tracking the envelopes stopped returning useful information. Two days later, it now returns only internal error messages. It's as if desperate UPS tribesmen, sensing doom, looted the joint at midnight on Nov. 30, and it's been standing blasted and empty since. Every so often another broken shelf crashes into the basement.

Because, you know, there's no chance that there are were still pending deliveries in the system when they stopped accepting new ones.

Customer-hating assholes. If I ever have a clear choice later between UPS and other carriers, I know what I'll be doing.

Something like $1,000 of my money is still unspoken for, so going to try phoning people now. I've actually been having a pretty good day. Been knocking a lot of pins down on on volity.biz, actually. More later.

Edit Ha ha ha! According to NetBank's website, they're refusing to even open QuickPost envelopes received after Nov. 30. Jesus Christ, what happened between those guys? Sounds messy. But the thing is, I didn't bother taking a receipt when I dropped the envelope off at the UPS store last week, so nobody has any proof beyond my word that I totally did send it off in time.

I just wasted 15 minutes of my life on hold at NetBank; I'll try again later tonight. I have a feeling that this isn't going to go anywhere except straight up my ass, though. Bloop

Two months after getting started at ITA and I'll probably have to take another $1,000+ loan from the credit card again just to make rent. Un fuckin believable.

I may be having some troubles workin this contractor thingy, my friends. I don't know.
