Tommy Gun in Hand

Sometimes it pays to fight with the bank. And by "fight" I mean "politely explain why their policy makes no sense".

There is something satisfying about seeing the lovely young man in the suit squirm and say "Well, no, I can't actually justify that policy. We're just a very conservative bank."

ING talked to and settled, RBC talked to and settled. So that's that part anyway. I get to re-enter the modern online economy.

So now I just need to get rid of some of this insane backlog at work that's built up, take some time off, and transfer everything over to the new computer.

Speaking of which, who is willing to be paid to come and help me set up the new computer with the must-have programs I don't know about? I'd hate to just dump everything on the new machine and have it be a snarled mess right away.

Time to go

So it is official, I will be leaving this apartment. I have a month to confirm that, but I should just probably warn them ASAP.

So, once again, I'm looking for a place. I'd like a 4 1/2 if possible, although a 3 1/2 is ok with decent storage and layout. I'd like not to go past $750, but am flexible for something lovely.

Near enough to public transport to make it worth my while, but otherwise flexible about what section of town. Am open to NDG down to Verdun, just because it seems I know more people there and it isn't like I'm hip enough for the Plateau anyways.

So keep your eyes out and if you know something, cool.

I am looking to not have a roommate, but have not ruled it out if it means a great place and someone cool.

Side note - yes, the lightcastle.net email is down. Hosting stopped while I was fighting with the bank and I will renew when I get the credit card. Then I will actually follow through and put up a site proper.
