It finally arrived

So it finally arrived. Not the ATM – although that would have been nice – but rather my bank card.

I opened a bank account about three weeks ago and have been waiting (patiently, I might add) for my debit card to come. After ten days, I called up my friendly bank associate who informed me that my card had been sent, and returned.

“Are you sure your address is correct?”

Um, yeah, I think so!

“Okay then, we’ll send out another one.”

Wait. Wait. Wait. Nothing.

So I called my friendly bank associate again. She told me maybe I should go into the branch and collect it there. Which I did. Today. And finally I have a bank card again. Amazing how lost one feels without one’s bank card. You can’t shop online. You can’t buy things at the local store – okay, yes you can, with cash, but what if you need cash and the branch is closed? See my dilemma?

But now I have it. Ka-ching.
