My wife rocks

Kim Fahrni: “I have been with her for over 3 yrs and lets just say that rotating aides every 18 months sound like a much better plan. It’s been awesome to see her growth and get to know her so well, but the burnout is sometimes overwhelming. There are only so many times that you can get hit, kicked, or bit before you start to wonder if you have chosen the right line of work.” – Kim works with autistic and other special needs children. I know she loves her work and the little girl she’s currently working with, but on occasion it can be physically and emotionally draining for her. I hope she’ll keep writing on her weblog as a way to help herself and others dealing with autism.

She’s making a difference, and I think she’s pretty terrific.

I hate Chase Credit

Today I decided to pay off my credit card balance, in full, including the interest they’d be charging since the last billing cycle. I called the automated system, spoke to someone to get the interest I’d be charged through tomorrow, and went back to the automated system to pay the full amount. There’s a problem with that. The automated system wouldn’t take the full payment, no, not today, you can only pay the amount you owe today. If you’d like to pay off the full amount including the interest you have to pay an extra $14.00 fee.

Talk about bending you over at every turn. An extra fee because you’re being a responsible citizen and paying the amount in full? I hope this post raises to the top of Google searches for Chase Credit Card.

Chase, screw you. I hope all your leadership rot in hell. Thanks for nothing, you bunch of freaking shysters.

I’ll be closing down my Chase Banking account as well, not that it matters to you, but it matters to me. I just wanted to do business together, I wanted to do the right thing and you won’t let me, so I’ll just take my business elsewhere.

Welcome to the new weblog

Tigger's are wonderful things!

It’s not quite ready for primetime, but it’s time to get the show on the road! If you’ve been following me at my old weblog, it’s time redirect your RSS reader to this site, all two of you. 🙂

A friend is taking a look at my CSS and fixing it up so I get the look I’m after. The color scheme is correct but the layout isn’t quite there. I’m sure he’ll have some design goodness to share with me, he’s very good at what he does, so I’m looking forward to what he comes up with. (Tigger is supposed to be aligned right, gotta fix that.)

In the meantime the site will be operational, everything will move here at some point. I’m not going to carry the look of the old site forward, no more apple cores. I will miss them, but I love brown and orange, and the cores don’t fit the color scheme.

So long good friend, it was nice knowing you, hopefully this site will live long beyond your nine years.

Here’s to the future! Onward!
