Sweet Jesus, am I tired. Even though I got out of work 2 hours early, I still spent 4 hours fucking with the bank. Turns out, when they recently got taken over by another bank, all their accounts and shit got screwed up. Now, through some Byzantine workings in their computer system, they can't give us the number for the card the guy used to charge up all the shit on. The card with the new number is going through, somehow switching with the old number in their computers, then being billed to us. So they can't seem to find out what the new number is and of course we don't know because he has the fucking check card, and all our receipts have only last 5 digits showing up. I see them coming to us with some circular argument about how, since they can't find our new number, they don't have anyway to investigate the fraud with the stores, and therefore we'll just have to be responsible for it. To which I'll reply fuck you, since you can't find the new number and track them with the stores, then these charges must obviously be bank errors since they didn't occur on the numbers we can be traced to, so we shouldn't have to pay them. Seems to make sense, eh?
Oh, and the store manager at Girl's store is copping an attitude with her because she was late to work today because it took us so long to fuck with the bank. Even though she's trying as hard as possible to keep the whole incident quiet at the store, even though she's giving them every piece of information she possibly can so they (the store) can do their own investigation, even though she's the victim and he was the one in charge and responsible for the well-being of the store at the time of the incident, he's being a dick to her. So, she called the loss-prevention lady that's been helping her out at the store, told her what info we got (or, more to the point, didn't get) at the bank, and managed to "let slip" that the store manager seemed kind of pissy about her being late. So that should get him in trouble a little. You know, spite is REALLY fun.
Oh well, nothing new to report other than that, I guess. Work wasn't at all interesting. Sigh.
All right, I think I'm going to take a nap or something since Girl doesn't get off til midnight. That should be pleasant!
