I did some online banking today. I had to transfer some money, and see if I had any money left at all to transfer. I looked at my chequings account, and there was a service charge of $35.00. That seems a bit much, doesn't it?

Typically, I would probably resort to apathy and leave things as they were. However, I'm having a particularly proactive day, so I give my good friends at CIBC a ring-a-ding.

Apparently, my banking is all buggered up. My 'real' chequings account is in my savings position, and vice versa. It's a bit complicated to explain here, but the final result is that I was getting fucked up the ass in service fees.

After a few minutes on the phone, though, the customer serve rep and I sorted everything out, and now I'm only paying $12.95/month for all my banking fees (which still sucks, but it at least less than that I was paying). So, I can't help feeling good about this. This is actually a visible savings on something that isn't really visible. What I mean is, I don't think anyone really considers fees into their budget. At least, I know I don't.

Oh, another thing. Did anyone else watch Prom Queen last night? I called my mother halfway through the movie to let her know that the actor who played the lawyer in the movie (Scott Thompson) once kissed me, on the lips. I keep wanting to write him. I know I could convince him to switch teams. He just needs a little convincing. I figure, I managed to turn a few boys gay, it can't be that hard to reverse the field.
