The hassles of modern life

There are several actually. But the one on my mind right now is Credit Cards. I try never to use them anymore. There are some things, however, for which a credit card is a necessity. Hotel reservations. On line purchases, certain bills. But I have those amounts budgeted and I am working on being debt free ASAP. So, the hassle is that the other day I had to reserve a hotel room for a soccer tournament and my credit card was not in my wallet. Uh-oh! I hadn't shredded the old one and so was able to get the number and reserve the room. But then I had to call and cancel the missing card.

I have no idea where the card might be. I haven't used it for a physical purchase in months and months and months. I don't really know when I saw it last. So today the new card arrived and I had to spend a couple of hours updating my card info everywhere there's a recurring charge. I still don't have them all yet. What a hassle. And the biggest hassle of all turned out to be Amazon! Completely hidden and unintuitive.

Right, so I'm blogging early tonight so I can wrap up the night's work on Scandal and fall straight into bed. Today was a dumb, boring day full of hassles. Blech. Yesterday's work on Scandal went well, but I'm starting to feel panicky about the amount of work that is, or isn't, getting done.

Off to write.
