THE EYES DIDN'T GET IT

I called the bank today.

The reason my debit card didn’t work was as I suspected and read in the pamphlet. If you don’t use it at least once every few months, it becomes inactive. But I read something else wrong, I suppose. They do not charge to get it reactivated as long as you have sufficient funds.

If I had insufficient funds, I would expect it (the card) not to work in the first place. Once again, the establishment has me so confused!

If technology is moving too rapidly to keep up with it and a 70-year-old brain has difficulties with mundane thought processes in the first place, why in the hell anyone would want to live to be 100 is way beyond me!

So anyway, the bank and I are cool once more and I may now use my card after the manager punched a few keys on her “master board” as I call it. But I’m still a little rankled that the simple change from inactive to active with the push of a button does not erase the embarrassment suffered by yours truly nor does it answer the question of why I have to use it (the card) often so it doesn’t get deactivated again.

Modern man/woman’s way of thinking is JUST NOT LOGICAL! I guess that’s why I don’t write programs for computers anymore!
