about raining and when it pours

OK~
So, i had to go into uni today. Public transport + upset stomach does not a happy laura make *le sigh*
ANYWAY, after slogging it out on trains and buses for an hour i attended my ONE lecture then went to get some lunch.
Guess what? My card expired yesterday and the bank hasn't sent me another one.

Anyone who knows me knows i HATE talking on the phone. Y'know, to the point where I almost have a panic attack after more than a couple minutes. Frigging bank machine wants me to 'state service i want' so i can be connected to a person. Thing is they don't tell you what words are accepted so i spent 20 minutes going "CARD!" into the receiver until it did.

Yay me.

*gives you random doodles i did on the oekaki board. Theme, this has them*





I keep staring at their eyes wondering how i managed that xD

I know how that feeling is, dealing with the phone. I practically have to psych my self up and practice what I'm going to say beforehand. Then if it goes to voicemail when I expected an answer/someone answers when I expected voicemail, it really throws me off. >_>

And I absolutely HATE voice-activated phone systems. "If you want to add money to your GoPhone account, say 'ADD MONEY'." Fuck that shit, tell me to press 1. Nothing like being out in public and having people hear just your side of things. Especially when you just then get transferred to a non-voice-activated system.

A lot of systems, though, you can just hit 0 until you get a person on the phone. Sure, they might have to transfer you, but at least you can explain in human terms what you need.
