If you have a gripe today, post it here. Sometimes you gotta vent. I’ll start. :{

[*]I went to check my checking account balance online today, and I noticed there is a charge to my account for $13.99. Apparently, ‘Bluemountain’ (e-cards site) took it upon themselves to take 14 bucks out of my account, for no apparent reason! I don’t even use that site, I used it once or twice, years ago… and I might’ve signed up for a FREE membership, but never for a paying membership. So now I have to try to get them to credit my account, but of course they’re gone for the day. Hopefully they will, because i’m broke enough as it is.
To add to that, PayPal took 2 dollars out of my account a few days ago without my authorization, and when I phoned them about it they said it was just a standard procedure, and the money would be credited, but that hasn’t happened yet, and it’s a few days later. :sigh:
[*]it’s also frustrating when the work you do has to do with the internet, and the internet connection where you live is soooooo bad. :crying:[/LIST]
(there’s some other stuff, but i’ll leave it at that)
On a positive note - so, earlier when I was thinking about this stuff, I looked out the window as the sun was setting… and I kid you not, there was this unusual but beautiful sunset that literally had a bright silver lining around the edge of the clouds… That may sound normal, but it wasn’t, I had never seen a ‘silver lining’ like that, so… it made me think about that old saying (every cloud has a silver lining), and that cheered me up a bit.
Those who speak English as a second language may not get that, so here’s what the saying means: >click<
