What would you do? [Oct. 17th, 2008|05:24 pm]
I pay my car insurance monthly so I get my disability check on the 2nd Weds of the month direct deposit.My car insurance is due on the 13th of the month and is on auto-pay.As of today it has not been paid , so I call my insurance agent to find out what the deal is they say that it came back NSF. I said thanks for letting me know whats going on,the agent said I should contact my bank to find out what happened.When my mail came I found the letter from the insurance company that my bank refused to pay my car Insurance.Off I go to my bank to find out what happened,My bank pulls up my account and shows me that no dollar amount for my car insurance was entered and the mistake has to be on the insurance company end. I call my agent back and they say its the bank fault not theirs and it will me an extra $25 because its my banks fault not theirs.I said I'm not paying the $25 because they screwed up not my bank so they told they will call me back after they will check into more and see what can be done. Now a little history I have had the same checking for 21yrs and this car insurance for 90 days so who do I to believe? The time is now 5:40 so its been 2.5 hrs since I talked to the agent.

Life [Aug. 2nd, 2008|12:39 am]
    On Thurs I was at game night at The House of Riley and I get a call from one my mundane friends.He is at Blockbuster and is trying to find the movie with Denzel Washington is a Dectective about a bank robbery and do I know whats it called.I had to think about for a minute and yes I know whats it is the movie is Inside Man,the point is other people than Chicago-sf call me with questions because they know I know all answers to questions that dont matter.
   I have been invited to a birthday party tonite from somebody from the group and its her  42nd birthday,so what do you get somebody who is 42 and into Sci-Fi? The first thought that came into my mind was a towel,I dont know if her mundane friends would get the joke but I  know she will.

Harassment [Nov. 20th, 2007|11:16 am]

 Last week I posted on the scifi meetup board about if you feel someone is harassing you to let me know right away so I can do something about it.Now for the rest of the story someone at the last meetup was harassing two ladies trying to get their phone #s now I find out about a couple days later from someones lj who wasn't even at the meetup.People have been emailing and calling me to explain more about it,then yesterday somebody else tells me that guy hit on her to and she slapped him down quick.People want me to handle things but they don't tell me in a timely basis so its hard to do anything about it.Yes I know some members in the group are just creepy but harmless so they can stay, this guy is stalker creepy so he is being asked not return any more

Windycon [Nov. 11th, 2007|04:30 pm]

I was going to room  with Mark and Pauline at Windy this weekend,Mark paid for the room and left I checked the room and it had two beds and no Handicapped bathroom witch it was supposed to have. I called Mark and he called the hotel so I schlepped my stuff back to the front desk and given the keys to a different room the room one bed and a bathtub with a shower chair. There wasno way four  people could sleep in this room, Pauline said to call her phone because Marks phone needed to charged,tried calling Pauline 4 or 5 times no answer now I'm already pissed off from the front desk.Pauline called me back told Mark what the deal was said he will call me back in a bit.Mark called back and said go to the front desk and to somebody don't remember  her name and said we are being moved again and  said I'm getting my own room comped for the weekend so I go to the 2nd room and get my stuff go back to the front desk and the clerk gives me the key cards for the two rooms and the first question I ask does my room have a handicapped bathroom and the clerk says no. I said that's pretty useless can I have the room on the 3rd floor again,the clerk says ok now I have to back to the 2nd room and drop off my stuff again.Everybody in the sf group thinks I'm pretty laid back kind of guy because it takes alot to really piss me off ,it freaks out everybody because I have a temper and nobody ever saw me lose my temper before.

Sat I was in the dealers room talking to a friend of mine who does cons and sells dvds( yes I have friends outside the group)and this girl walks by that I know but I can't figure out from where.So I'm looking at her she turns around looks at me calls my name and I realize who it was. I worked with her at  Motorola and I have known her for about 14 years haven't seen her for at least 6 or 7 years spent most of the night talking to her and she did say that I was always smart ass as long as she has known  me.

The Windycon party was a great success and I have to thank everybody  who worked on it. because I did not do a thing to help or to hinder. I was told from somebody in the group that she heard in the elevator that people were coming to Barry's room party.It was never posted as my party so I'm innocent (yes I know nobody ever believes that because they know me).We ran out of alcohol and the party still went on for 2 hrs more.What can I say our group rocks couldn't have done it without everybody since I didn't do a thing and now i'm done posting until Jan.

Can anybody answer this from Chicago-Sf? [Nov. 8th, 2007|11:26 am]
     Every time there is a problem with a event that some one else is having from the group, somebody always calls me.I have nothing to do with it .If somebody needs a phone number for somebody in the group they call me ,I don't have every bodies phone numbers I have a lot of the core group phone numbers. I have been told its because I'm the heart&soul of this group, if that's the case you people are in deep s**t. If I'm on vacation and miss the meetup somebody always contacts me last time it was 2 text messages and 1 call.
