geekchickToday is Sweetmorn, day 2 in the season of Bureaucracy, 3269.
People I want to dangle out a window a la Otto today:
People I want to dangle out a window a la Otto today:
- Sallie Mae, who have locked me out of the web-based loan management application because I apparently forgot my password. The error message says that I should call their customer service number for help; guess who lets me go through 10 minutes of phone menus only to transfer me to a "go away, we're closed *click*" message? Screw you then, you'll wait for my money until my bank's online bill paying service gets around to cutting you a check.
- My friend's ex, who forgot to pick up the kids this weekend and is screwing with friend's plans and hurting the kids in the process. Probably not intentionally, but still...
- Verizon. 'Nuff said.
CompaqThe New HP, for making it so that instead of just being able to tighten up hinges on my laptop myself (the screen will not stay upright, I have to prop it up against a pillow or a stack of books), I have to take it to a service center and have someone replace them entirely. Cha-ching. Did I mention that this happened not too long after the warranty expired? Shocking, I know.

But his portrayal of Jeffrey Anderson in "Soapdish" is absolutely wonderful, as is the entire movie.
Oh, and looking up character names in IMDB, I discover two upcoming films I must see: De-Lovely a Cole Porter biopic with Kline in the titular role and Picasso at the Lapin Agile.
