The Websites Of My Life

Last week a coworker reminded me about the new rules for the Chase Freedom card. It used to be that I got cashback on my top 5 categories. I didn't have to do anything. Now they changed the rules to be similar to Discover Card. Every quarter I have to go online and sign up and they get to pick the categories for 3% cashback. I forgot about the sign up part so I went on to their site and looked around, and looked, and looked. Finally I found the right place. They sure didn't make it easy to find. I'm sure I will forget where the sign up is by next quarter. They weren't even good categories either. I don't remember what they are but Discover card is gas and groceries right now so I'm using that one.

This week the Chase website has been down for 3 days. I'm glad I paid my credit cards online last week. I won't need the website again until I am ready to make another mortgage payment in a week or two. Now, the website I can't live without, Facebook, is down. Ok, so I can probably survive a night without Facebook. I actually snuck on at work at 4:58. I don't usually do that but when our office moved and they moved our server, they seem to have forgotten to re-install Websense, the bad website blocker. I'm trying hard not to abuse my new found freedom. I'm sure they will realise their mistake soon enough.

Oh good, Facebook is back up. I can live vicariously through others again!
