An Open Letter to those who have me on their Buddy List

I'm sure you've all noticed by now, if you look at profiles or try to IM me when I'm idle, that my AIM is trapped in the past, and keeps trying to tell you that it's July 22 and I'm busy getting married. I have noted this phenomenon several times, and in fact went so far as to dig through my Trillian preferences and delete the message. Since the message is gone and my preferences are set to "never set me away or idle" I'm not quite sure what to do. If anyone has suggestions, please share, because it's driving me buggy.

In other news, I have work training today, which is why I'm up so early. I've put on my suit, eaten my bologna and American cheese sandwich, washed down with some very fine coffee (thanks Adam and Gemma!) and will soon be on my way. Financial news tip for the week, learned at my Wednesday training: Discover cards pretend to have a low interest rate, but they actually use something called Double Cycle Billing, so they bill you two months interest every month. So a 9.99 percent rate is actually closer to 20%. Booo. So much for my love for my Discover card. Oh well. If you want to know if yours is like that, check the statement to see how your interest is figured. If it's Average Daily Balance, you're in pretty good shape. Just FYI.

Off to work!
