cut off

I've been at work for 24 of the last 48 hours, and asleep for about 18 of the remaining 24. I haven't used the cellphone or internets for just as long. Imagine my surprise when I went to check those messages and found the bugphone out of commission. Seems Sprint hasn't received my payment. Funny. I paid online, on Tuesday, and they debited the cashola from my account just fine and dandy at the time. Of course, they decide to tell me this at 10pm on Saturday night, insuring that I cannot make any amends (if need be), or yell at the poor sod who flubbed up my account, until Monday at 9am eastern time.
Curses, curses, foiled by modern technology once again. I knew that signing up to pay over the internets was foolhardy, but the convenience factor was too tempting to pass up. Well, I have learned my lesson, I'm sticking with good old-fashioned paper checks and stamped envelopes from now on. Daddy will be so proud.
