Thanks! It does feel great. Of course, I'm still not used to it, so I still keep thinking I really wish I had xxx here and then remember, oh wait, I could have it fairly soon.
Yay! You must be sooo stoked to have all your stuff back! Good luck with the sorting thru. I know what you mean about university papers, I still have all of mine & mebbe it's time to let go of 'em.
And *nodnod* to adventurat, it'd be awesome if you could somehow work the Podzilla into your Nanonovel.
Thanks! Some papers I will hang onto, but I really can't see how my notes for my English Lit classes will help me in the future. I don't even think they would make could cocktail party conversation! :-)
> I found out that paying too much on your credit card is almost as bad as not paying enough.
O_o That doesn't sound right at all.
I overpay all the time. I also know of at least one exchange student tell me that the best way to fund a year of studying abroad in some countries was to use a credit card in reverse. Ie. have someone put money onto a credit card in advance from a bank account and draw the funds off the card in the destination country.
I think the problem was timing. I had made the payment online three days beforehand and it had just cleared the system. Even with electronic payments companies are suspicious of each other, so I had to have a three-way conference call with the credit card company and the bank so that the bank could verify that yes the funds had already left my account and the transaction was valid.
If it had been 10 business days after the payment it wouldn't have been an issue, I think. I'll have to remember that for next time. I should have made the payment sooner, but kept forgetting to do it.
Using a credit card in reverse sounds like a great idea and that was what I tried to do for that weekend. My timing was just off.

Congrats on having your stuff again! Whee! You must be so thrilled. And congrats on doing the dejunking as you unpack! That's often the hardest part.

Yes, dejunking will be difficult, that's for sure.

But anyway, I'm glad it got straightened out.
