I Know I’ve been kinda absence from here but I needed to extend my time away from the computer. But I’m back and definitely have things to share. Plus I’ve decided to utlitize the dead space call Yahoo! 360, so check that out in the near future. And there’s a specific reason why I’m not direcylt linking to it, but that’s one of the stories for later.

So where have you been Tony? Simply put, when I’m not at work I’ve been sitting at home, dodging phone calls and playing video games. I really wish I say that I was out being productive but it is what it is. I’ve become more accepting that my life is slowing down. I tend to go out less (even though I didn’t go out that much to begin with) and I look to hang out with folks who think that sitting at home is not a bad thing.

After the debacle with NIPSCO, I really needed some time to collect my thoughts and with subtle urgings from my mom (who thinks I’m severely depressed), I started to see a therapist. And it’s been good to get some things out in the open and trying to come to term with things from my past. Without getting into specifics, I’m slowing learn how to forgive, realized how much I cut people out of life and admitted that I am very confrontational.

So I’m working on making a better Tony, spending time with my Pham and button-mashing my way through Mortal Kombat Armageddon but I’ve haven’t gone anywhere and I don’t plan on going anywhere anytime soon.

First Financial Fucked Fez

I’m currently in a much better mood, given that my issues with my bank are long from being solved. What happened was on Tuesday the 19th, I was online using my bank’s (First Financial) bill payment system to pay my NIPSCO bill (rehashing the end of this post), and I made a gross over-payment (like $2300 gross).

So I can deal with making mistakes, how use would I learn but the bill payment system didn’t give me a confirmation screen to verify my numbers and by the time I got any notice it was too late to do anything. The frustrating part was I didn’t have $2300 in my checking account to cover a payment that big yet it still clear. Also, my NIPSCO bill wasn’t anywhere near $2300 and they wanted to act like I was trying to steal from them when I asked for a refund. I literally had to bend over backwards, while blowing the CEO of NiSource and juggle 5 bowling pins to just so they could call my bank to see whether or not the payment would clear the bank. So after being told by my bank that with the bill payment systems, all funds are cleared regardless of balance (red flag), 5 minutes later they told NIPSCO that funds didn’t clear my checking account and the gas company denied my refund claim.

It seemed that everyday there was something new that would turn me into a ranting and raving lunatic, plotting and scheming, planning on doing some shit that might have me doing a stint in jail. If it wasn’t for my mother calling me everyday, this entry would be coming straight from Lake County Corrections.

So after a week and half of callbacks, threats of litigation, a couple F-bombs and a few CSRs called bitches, the fix is in-motion. Of course I have to wait 2-3 weeks for a check from NIPSCO, and I can’t go open another check account becasue I’m now in Chex Systems, I’m feeling better.
