A rude awakening<\/em><\/strong>
\nNothing like trying to call a sleepy boyfriend in Discord and not having it go
\nthrough, thanks to T-Mobile not doing their fucking jobs. For this month, I kept being reminded how “the credit card on file has expired” and ignoring the warnings, feeling this is all old news (feeling they have the problem that happened last week, taken care of).
\nWoke up about 10:45 or so (don’t exactly remember); hearing Wuffer moving around and stuff on my phone. Tried saying hey, no response. Assumed he just has his headphones off and tried to fall back asleep, then my phone starts alerting me of my T-Mobile bill being due.
\nAgain I ignore it and was about to put the phone down, and two more messages pop up. One of them says the payment was ‘unauthorized’ by my bank. Started yelling at
\nT-Mobile, then felt “mmmeh. I’ll take care of this when I get up”, laid the phone down and tried to fall back asleep again. As I laid in bed, a really bad thought pierced through my soul. …OSHI–!!! ‘Unauthorized’ means the money isn’t in the bank!! Shit SHIT SHIT!!
\nThis forced me to spring out of bed and get over to my computer to investigate the issue.
\nChecked my bank.. more than enough to pay the bill (I made fucking SURE I had enough to pay it before I ordered those two things). My eyes narrowed as I got even more frustrated at T-Mobile. We need to have a talk. \ud83d\ude1b
\n–
\nAnd by ‘talk’, I gave them HELL for getting me out of bed to deal with this incompetence! If there’s one thing I absolutely hate, is being forced out of bed! And the reason I gave them hell, was because they still<\/strong><\/em> didn’t fix the issue that happened last month (of failing to edit the expiration date of the card on my account)! They’re all “we’re working on our prepaid customer servers”. It’s been MONTHS!! What is TAKING so long?! And the person even admits its been months. That’s when I laid down the “prepaid customers are being shafted: change my mind” thing. Agent tried, but after I told them the hell I went through to get a smaller SIM chip for my iPhone, they felt sorry for it.
\nWhatever, payment’s made, and the agent tells me I’ll have to make future payments manual until this is fixed. Thanks, jackasses.
\nThen I had the idea to delete the card on file and add it as a brand new mode of payment. Therefore, no more issues (I hope). Don’t know why the agent never suggested this super easy fix.
\n———————–
\nEApps<\/strong> (When even paid apps ask for a monthly fee ‘Pro’ version<\/span>)<\/em>
\nChilling with my love in a private Discord call, watching him play Wizard101. He’s also getting ready to go to work (he has a job as a pizza guy, and hopes to one day deliver them). I’m talking about the weather that I’m going to be getting this evening and tomorrow, and the apps I use to monitor it.
\nBut there’s one that I’ve been eyeing on since one of our local meteorologists showed himself using it; RadarScope<\/a>. It’s $10, and to me it’s a one-time fee. Thought of buying it next month, then remembering I still got more than enough and got it then. Installed and booted it up.. ‘PRO Version’ on the lower right. Two ‘Pro Tier’ versions.
\n\"Image
\n..REALLY?! I just paid $10 for your app, and you want me to pay MORE?! Fucking
\nHELL, man! Don’t be EA, FFS!
\nHowever, what the app provides for ‘free’ is pretty impressive. It even has Correlation Coefficient (or ‘CC’ as it’s called by local meteorologists… the radar used to tell if there’s debris being lofted to indicate an actual tornado in progress)! That is awesome!
\n————————-
\nNo license (and hungry)? No problem!<\/strong> (There’s an app for that)<\/em>
\nMy BF just gave me a really good idea to solve one of my biggest issues that’ll be a part of me when my father passes away. This came from how I said I really wanted McDonald’s instead of pizza every Wednesday (just to have something different for once). But without a car (and a license), that’s not possible… until he reminded me of ‘UberEats’. Though he originally mentioned ‘GrubHub’, a website that you can put in your address and see what restaurants would be willing to deliver to you.
\nTried it first, entering in my address. Showed (mostly) all restaurants around me (within 1-3 miles).. except for Burger King and McDonald’s (pretty surprised on that). Not even Waffle House showed up. Though, UberEats does (only in the city to the south of
\nme, though). But, this is something I definitely<\/span> want to try next week.
\n–
\nHaving McDonald’s delivered every other Wednesday, would be awesome.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
