bass blisters

[juldea]

My pointer fingers are letting me know that I played bass with them a lot last night. As if I didn't know already. :) It was a good band practice. It would've been more fun if I were less tired, but I was sleepy, so it was just good.

I listened to Chase's Radiohead mixed tape for a while here at work. It had to be background music more than I like when listening to a tape for the first time, but that's the difficulty with work. I think they sound a lot like what I think of as "old U2"... but I can't really specify what I mean by that. All the "old U2" I know is from the past, when my brother almost exclusively listened to U2.

Huh, I think I had something else to say in this post, but I don't know what it is, so I'll just keep on generally ranting until I remember...

My mom is supposed to come and take me out to dinner tonight :) Brendan, if you read this before work, can you work for me at 8pm-10pm? I can come and give you a ride home if necessary (my mom and I will probably take you home, but that would be cool because my mom wants to see the bass, and maybe we could play a bit for her).

Cingular wireless is dumb. My bill is due on the 13th. I signed up for automatic withdrawl, so I wouldn't have to worry about mailing something in every month. Guess when they withdraw it? Yep, today. So now if any checks attempt to be cashed tomorrow (and I have 3 or 4 out), they might bounce. I get paid on Friday, so if they just wait... grumble...

I'm really hungry. Can't wait for 2.

Well, I can't remember my other thing. I'll just post later if necessary.

You can call your bank and tell them that Cingular isn't authorized to take out the money on that date. Then have them go and get the money back from Cingular. Then call Cingular up and give them a earful for doing it. If you have to tell the bank that Cingular isn't allowed to take money out anymore and just mail a check. It's worth it to avoid having a whole bunch of checks bounce. I've had this problem with Bank One a few times (with automatic withdrawl and my check card) and they've fixed it for me in just a few days (once the very next day).

BTW, how is the bass playing going? And the first time I read the heading I thought of the fish first. Gave a odd tone to the first sentence till I thought of the instrument.

Well, I'm not even sure my checks will bounce. My bank is good about that kind of thing, if I go overdrawn they just charge me $15 or so and that's all the penalty. So I'll just wait and see. Otherwise, now that I know, I'm okay with Cingular taking out the money at the beginning of the mongth instead of the middle, because I have more money in the bank usually in the beginning of the month than the end.

Bass playing is going great!! I'm really glad to be learning it, and I think I'm learning fast. I think I impressed the guys last night even. *flex*

um, but, she did authorize them to take it out, right?

Re:

Yeah. And I didn't specify a date. I thought they'd do it closer to the due date. :(

[baronbrian.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but on the date she told them to. They can't just randomly take it out.

Re:

But, I didn't tell them a date. It was just "do you want your account to be automatically paid monthly" and I said "yes", assuming (ass outta me) that it would be on the date due.
