• the big soap opera of the week, at the stalag, is Ross and Jess (two co-workers on our line) break up just after she announces she's pregnant (oh crap! no wonder Ross has been walking around in a fog lately). she airs the whole dirty laundry thing to anyone who wants to listen (I was an involuntary listener, since she decided to yack with the guy across the assembly line, while sitting next to me).  I don't wanna get my nose into it, but I sure feel bad for Ross. she's kinda controlling, uppity, a pushy to him (always), he's the most down to Earth (yet young and naive) guy around. it's sad.  

  a couple days ago, while online banking, I wanted to make sure "the Kid account" payment went thru...it showed up as if it went out of my primary bank, but hasn't shown up (4 days later) in the secondary bank (where I got the loan).  I call that bank (the loan payment now being 1 day late) and explain the troubles I've been having with my primary bank's bill pay page.  the lady gave me some comfort by saying they have a 10 day grace period (phew!), so if the payment doesn't show up by tomorrow, I'm gonna send them a check via snail mail and make it right, then call my primary bank and figure out what happened?  damn their new online billpay!!!

  I yack with the 'Squatch via facebook,  seems he's come down with type 2 diabetes (damn!).  he says he (and his wife) are working on losing a good amount of weight to try and get healthy again.

  anyway...gotta shower, then head to the stalag

   

  [minutes later] I check my secondary banks account (again) for a quick second before hitting the shower and finally see the payment has cleared (phew!).  I hate having open ended problems like this, but this one is now resolved. I can relax a bit now.  I guess if it takes 4 days to process these transactions, I'll have to send them a week in advance *plan*

  now, off to that shower...
