POST 9 on MONDAY 6-2-2014, OMG I actually MISSED a day of posting!!! What is HAPPENING TO ME!!!???

Yesterday Sunday 6-1-14 I actually worked on getting my paperwork ducks in a row re: filling out EDD and DOR paperwork. So I was writing, just not HERE on this blog.

To paraphrase Jeff Foxworthy...

YOU MIGHT BE A WRITER IF...

• You wake up in the morning (or afternoon) and all you can think of is topics to write on.
• The first thing you do is get an Arizona Iced Tea, spread out all your vitamins and pills by the laptop and write while gulping them down.
• You get a phone call from FB bud Johney who gives you a huge lift by confirming how positive and 'together' you are, and you're writing it down while you're talking to him. THAT was a huge self esteem boost, thanks, JH!! I needed that.
• You get a phone call from your daughter-seems she's trying to buy dog food at Costco and the Costco membership expired yesterday May 31. I asked her to pay for it there and they said that she couldn't pay for it, it had to be paid for by the primary holder. So all I could think of was a) solving her problem, and b) whatinthehell is going on.
• I went online to see what was what,  and I was surprised to see that none of the info I expected to be on there was on there i.e. people/cards on my account, due date of membership, type of membership, etc. SO...
• I called Corporate (whose phone number WASN'T on my card, BTW, and neither was my expiration date on the card) and they couldn't believe that she couldn't pay for it there, NOR could they believe that anyone didn't ask us to renew when we went there last week. So Corporate fixed the sitch by actually CALLING the ABQ Costco, talking to the Supervisor in Processing, kept them on hold, came back to me and took the information down for renewal, got the Supervisor back on the horn and told me it'd be 5 minutes, and it WAS. They also notified (the corporate PC word for 'admonished strongly aka REAMED) the Supervisor for this membership renewal by anyone on the card issue. Another piece of info they told me was that they are working on combining two separate Costco websites, the general one and the membership one, to make one totally secure online site. As usual, I solve a prob within 10 minutes. Again, AS USUAL, I gotta write about it!
• Plan in your mind what you're going to write about and ACTUALLY jot those notes down on paper! Kinda like making an outline.
• You write about this quasi-trivial stuff, because you're gonna look back at this blog when you need to know when you did what.
