Jerkies

Well... my job still hasn't started yet and this is starting to get a bit ridiculous. It's been almost 3 weeks now since I signed the offer letter. I can understand the bureaucracy involved, but I'm starting to feel like I'm being jerked around.

In other jerking around news, Capital One sent me an offer that sounded sweet. No interest until June and then a fixed 8.9% APR after that, which was slightly better than I already had. So I decided to try it, since no interest for a few months would be nice. So eventually I get something from them telling me they need proof of address, so I send them what they ask for. About a week later, I get a letter from them telling me that they received my proof of address, but they can't find an application in my name. Why do they think they asked for a proof of address? Blah. It makes you wonder how these companies function.
