Near the end of the week I tried to use my ATM card to make a withdrawal and I couldn't. Why? Because it was expired. So I should have gotten a new one. I called the bank to ask what was up and they said they'd sent it in February. Ah, but they sent it to my old address. Which is frustrating, because I updated my address with them, and they had it on file, but not as my residence. Which makes me wonder what they thought I was telling them. Of course there's been another takeover recently, so maybe they were just really excited about that and couldn't concentrate. Any way, it adds up to a few days' inconvenience and a lot of head-scratching.
Saturday Random Ten tomorrow.

You'd think that with every bit of official information computerized this sort of thing couldn't happen - until you realize their programs are like people in a rocky marriage who often don't talk to each other.
I think that's exactly it. There are all sorts of electronic forms for you to fill out, information for you to provide. Ultimately, though, you may run into a brick wall of non-communication.
