Problems, Issues and I am 73

Yesterday was the pits for me, electronically and emotionally.

The website I use to pay my rent was inoperable and I couldn’t

get through—down for maintenance the web page said.

Damn, you’d think those IT folks could schedule maintenance in

the middle of the month rather than the beginning of the month

when the rent is due.

Pissed me off royally for being disabled and elderly, I hate losing

what little control I have left in me.

Throw in my compulsivity, wanting to pay my rent NOW! and this

gives cause for my blood pressure to rise sky high.

The second issue was electronic transfer of funds from one bank

account to another. I had a customer service lady on the line trying

to help guide me through the process on my computer.

I kept messing stuff up pushing, “Enter,” “Continue,” “ I agree,”

and winding up back where I started. This whole thing is useless,

I told the agent helping me.

I’m old and slow as molasses, forgive me. My apologies had no

affect on solving the issues confronting me, so I told her, “I’ll try

again later. Thank you anyway, goodbye.”

Yesterday was bleak for me. Hell, got nothing done and for Christ’s

sake, besides I’m friggin” 73.

Fast forward to today. I woke, had my coffee and went about my

business again trying to set things straight.

My apartment website was up and running, and thank God the rent

is paid. Figured out the money transfer crap all by myself, and got

electronic confirmation that it worked.

Amazing! The world is all right today. The two problems I had

yesterday have been resolved today. I’m still 73, and although

that still perturbs me to no end most days, I can deal with it.

For now anyway, I’m okay.
