Financial woes, pt II

I take back that whole paragraph about the bank being really on top of things...yes, they've always been friendly through this wonderful ordeal of me calling every 3 days with a newfound "glitch" in my situation. Apparently the 3 bankers I had spoke to didn't connect my new card with my new account. All of my purchases were being taken out of the old one...continuously for about 5 days. Have you ever cried on the phone to a customer service agent? Well, Sunday afternoon the woman got some choice words and the tears. Can we just go back to bartering? I think that would simplify things A LOT.
