My bank just changed the online banking system. There used to be a "Official balance" which was whatever the balance was the last time the account "posted" for the day. There was also "current balance" which reflected what had not posted but still affected your fund availability.
Today, out of the blue, with no notice (as far as I know), they changed "Current balance" to "Pending Transactions." So I showed a negative $55. I thought it was my balance, and I freaked out. It was merely that tomorrow's balance will be $55 less than yesterdays.
Egads.
How often does your bank give you a heart attack? Maybe I should change.
Anyhow, it's about a thousand degrees here in NYC, and there's no air, as it has all been replaced by humidity. So it was particularly droll to see a homeless man who I passed on my way home tonight (drunk-ish again, I might add), who is currently living in an air conditioner box. I guess we file that under "wishful thinking"?
Anyhow, I'm off to my sister's wedding and I'll be back on Sunday night. Blogging will, sadly, be interemittent to non-existent between now and then. But I'll be back on Monday. With a brother-in-law! (aka one more person to knit for. Egads!)
Posted by Jon at June 15, 2005 12:31 AMHave a good trip. I have no humidity here. But I won't rub it in...too much.
Posted by: Jon (in Denver) at June 15, 2005 09:43 AMEnjoy the wedding! By the time you get back, it should be a little cooler. I hope!
Posted by: Em at June 15, 2005 09:46 AMNo, my bank doesn't give me a heart attack. Since I work there, they'd have to pay for it. It just gives me grief.
Enjoy the wedding.
Ok, that would TOTALLY give me a heartattack!
