Totally random thought-

One of my all-time favorite cinematic exchanges from No Country for Old Men, between Sheriff Ed Tom Bell and his deputy, Wendell:

Wendell: (Surveying the scene of a drug deal gone bad, with dead bodies strewn everywhere)
"It's a mess, ain't it, Sheriff?"

Bell: "Well, if it ain't, it'll do until the mess gets here."

someone heated up something for lunch today that smelled like fish left out on a July blacktop for two days. It was nasty. And I thought it was against intergalactic law to reheat fish in an office setting.

two daycare pickups and like 5 comments on baby's hair. Cause the mohawk is still growing and starting to whirl a bit so it's pretty dashing if I do say so myself. One lady yesterday is like do you guys do that on purpose and I almost laughed. Yep, I get up extra early to style my 3 month old's hair :D. Nope I say, tis au naturale

Hair gel for babies.

It should be. We had a guy either reheat or open some type of pureed broccoli shake/dish/thing in our job trailer one time and my superintendent made him go outside to finish eating it. We had all the doors and windows open for the entire day in order to get the smell out.

Moved into my place today. Went to IKEA to buy all of my ****. Came up to $1000 for basics like bed, couch, entertainment center, table, etc. My ******* card got declined. Called up Wells Fargo to find out what the **** was going on and apparently for some reason my card has a $500 daily limit on it? Have never put that much on my card, so had no idea. They said they couldn’t raise it over the phone and I just had to go into a location to raise it. Meanwhile I’ve got a ton of **** just sitting there at IKEA. “Well just write them a check” WF tells me. It’s 2018! Who the **** carries their check book around with them.

I won’t lie, I typically am one to keep my cool, but I kind of lost it on them. To the point where I said “so can I close my account over the phone or do I have to go to a location for that too?” They connected me to file a complaint, was on hold for 5 minutes, someone picked up then hung up on me.

So I go to a WF and withdraw the money so I can buy my ****. Get back to IKEA and pay and take it over for them to ship it to my place. Missed the cutoff for the day by 10 minutes. Now I have to wait until tomorrow. So I’m sitting in my apartment with no furniture at all. I had to BEG them to at least let me take my mattress THAT I ALREADY HAD PAID FOR just so I had something to sleep on tonight.

Not a good experience today. Will be bank shopping tomorrow.

Dude, do not bank with ******* Wells Fargo. **** Wells Fargo. they are the ******* Evil Empire of banking and that's saying something.

Did I mention **** Wells Fargo? If any of you bank with Wells Fargo and haven't been ****** over by them than you turn is coming. Just sayin'.

oh snap on the bolded. That sucks - is it a debit card? I've heard of daily limits for those. I hope tomorrow goes better.
