Financial Institutions.
We all need them in one form or another.
Unless of course you bury your money in mason jars in the back yard or
in your mattress or in the freezer so you can always have cold, hard cash. With the onset of the internet we can now do
almost all of our transactions and viewing right in the comfort of our home in
front of the computer. I love technology
but…..
Last week I was trying to link two accounts from two
financial institutions together.
According to the sites this should be an easy process. For the newly created account at the new
foundation I needed to input a user id.
Hmmm. I guess I just click on
create one. Enter my new account number
and….and…I can’t give it me. What kind
of an error message is that. So I tried
to link from the other institution.
Nope. So I sent off an email to
my advisor. A few days later he said to
call the technology help desk. Well that
means bringing the laptop to the porch to use the free wifi since you cannot
talk on the phone and use the internet at the same time if you use the
hotspot. AAAHHH!! In the meantime we got a mail delivery. Documents to sign for the new account. And look, my user id and temp. password. Great.
So I went into the site….nope.
What????? Ok, the other
site. Nope. So off we go with the laptop and phone in
hand. Go into the site and waalaa. I am in.
I just sat there shaking my head.
Bill just smirked and kept on reading his paper. Gotta love technology.
Well, that done, we went to the Key West Yacht Club for
lunch. I mentioned before that we didn’t
get much damage here. This is one poor
boat at the yacht club.
She was there for a few weeks until she got towed off.
