Rainy Days and Annoying Policies

Here's hoping it will rain as promised by the weather forecasters. Isn't that a great job? You can be wrong, and still get paid and not be sued!

GaPo Online
I've been attempting to 'reorganize' the way I pay bills so I've been getting balances, due dates, etc from the company's webpage. A few days ago, I made sure I had passwords, account numbers, etc, to set up online access, which I did. I noticed yesterday that GaPo was sending emails to the wrong email address, so I went in to change the information. In the email informing me that I could now view my information online, I clicked on the link to take me to the login page. After I put in my UserId and Password, it took me to a page asking for my account number and access code. The Access code is only available on your paper bills. I called GaPo to see what I could do about this, and they said that you get at least one paper bill, and the access code never changes. Can this be any more annoying??? I can't access my bill online unless I get a paper bill. Are they really this stupid, or am I missing something? I'm hoping it's me, this is a shining example of corporate BS.

New Experience
I got to the gym rather late yesterday, about 4pm and was really amazed at how sparsely populated the gym was. I was a member at Bally's since before most of the people who worked there were born, and I pretty much stopped going due to the large crowds. It was a nightmare, trying to use some of the equipment! A one hour workout would take up to 2 hours or more. Especially on Monday's, I guess everyone starts their new diet on Monday or you have to go work off all the weekends over-indulgences. So here I was, leaving at 5pm with no lines for the treadmills, no lines for anything! Maybe it gets socked about 5:30 or 6, but I was amazed at the lack of people at 5. Now I have no excuses.

Do the Math
I was going to publish my latest Goals for Self, but I would be giving away too much personal information, so let's just say I've set a goal that is easy to achieve by my next Major Birthday. I will post it somewhere at home.

More to come...
As things happen, I'll be posting. Thanks for taking the time to read. You're opinions are welcome but if you have to start calling me names, don't bother, I won't read them. As my Dad says 'Opinions are like a**holes, everyone has one.'

I'm with you on GA Power - I was so mad when I was trying to set everything up way back when! But- I found a paper bill, and it is true, I don't think I have ever needed that number again.
