Rainy Reflection
The reunion was fun this year, with most of the same stuff happening as every year, only with the most perfect weather imaginable. The only solemn part of it was when we visited my grandmother’s grave in Stamford. I still miss her, and it’s hard to believe that it’s already been more than a year.
It’s a cool, rainy day here in Denton this morning; same as yesterday. I had a very productive meeting with my RTVF partner yesterday about the film we are assigned to make in the next three weeks, and I think we have a pretty good thing going. Basic, easy, a neat story, and exceptionally low budget. I think all we need is a bucket…
I’ve also reached a milestone in my life away from home. I have just racked up my first library fine. I now owe the City fifty cents. Can this keep me from having to do jury duty? Let’s hope so.
I’ve been running pretty tight on cash the past few days, since my last paycheck was just a little over $100 and the beginning of school means a lot of extra expenses. I’ve also opened a new bank account at Bank of America, since my credit union removed their ATM from the UNT student union. I e-mailed them asking why this happened, and they said that the University had made their yearly renewal process longer and harder, and that they didn’t get enough business with that ATM. The woman who responded to me, who turned out to the the Senior VP of Marketing and Customer Relations, then asked me to recommend anything the Denton Area Teachers Credit Union could do to better serve members on campus…
Gee, I dunno, maybe PUT AN ATM ON CAMPUS?!! Seriously, you should have enough balls to fill out a little extra paperwork. Because of their laziness, I have now switched to a bank that has around 18,000 ATMs and branches, instead of 5 ATMs and four branches spread across the county. I’ll still keep my account open at DATCU, just in case I need a lower-interest loan, but that’s it.
Now that I’ve let myself vent for awhile, I guess I need to head home and tidy up.
