living in my shoes

Friday, August 18, 2006

Ok, For the past 5 years, I have had two last names, I have Been Tami Jones with the IRS ( actually I have been Tami Jones with the IRS since 1987, minor detail) And Tami Shumate with everything else, ( checking account, DMV, things like that). So today I go to deposit my check with my bank, The VERY SAME bank that I have had for 10 years, And Oh, excuse me, They wont take my Check cause its made out to TAMI JONES.... I went OFF on them Asking them where the hell are their Higher standards of Banking that they speak so loudly of( bank of America, that is there logo) the Bitch told me , THIS WAS their higher standard of banking, She then told me she didnt like my tone of voice, and I then Asked her if anyone has ever told her she was a bitch? ( Not cool, I know, But I was livid) I then left and told the bitch that I would go to another branch that would happily take my money, she told me she didnt think so.. But I did...and the other bank took it, No problem. But now I am pretty sure there is a flag on my account ( I am sure the bitch wrote it down) to not take Any checks with Tami Jones... So its time to change my name BACK to Tami Jones. Why , you ask? Because, I have been her since 1987, and I like it, its easy, I dont have to spell it for anyone, and I have three sons with that name. Scott on the other hand doesnt think its so cool.. I said I would make it JONES-SHUMATE.... to make him happy to cover ALL of my sons, Scott doesnt like it. I just about dont care... I will be heading to the DMV this week for a New licsence with the name JONES-Shumate...
That was just the start of my not so great day... I love my sisters, but it seems that we cant all just hang out, See, whenever Kelli comes here, She stays with Shelly, Never with me.. so there I always am, going to Shellys , and hanging out with them.. but I always feel left out, like I am missing out on the good stuff when I am not around, and when I am there, Well I feel ignorned really. I asked Kelli to stay here Sat night since I am going to have the house to myself, and Shelly didnt think that she needed to... Whatever I said to that, no biggie, But I took half of SAT off to hang out with them and then today I was told that they may be in Seattle ..... ok, So why did I take half the day off ? Why did I bother? cause when I said I didnt get off till 6 , I was told that was late... ok, so Now I am to call in the AM and find out if they will be home, and not go to seattle ( in shellys defense, she doesnt want to go, they got some free tickets to a movie for the kids and the kids want to go, ) I am so upset by this all that all I want to do is go home at 2 ( early) and be alone.... I hate when I feel like I am on the outside looking in when it comes to this sister realationship that we all have.... I am fine, one on one, as I think they are too.. and maybe I am the only one feeling this way, In fact, I know I am the only feeling this way. ok, I am done bitching....

You hop the first plane no matter what your last name and come hang out with me! Tell your sisters you got a better offer! Sorry you are having a bad day...mine has been a bust too for a dozen reasons but together, we can have a blast!

Good for you! I think Jones-Shumate is an excellent compromise. That lady at the bank was just being a witch. I have no patience for people like that.

Hopefully all works out well with yours sisters. That happens with my mom and her two sisters as well. I only have a brother, and he prefers hanging out with Kelly, but I think that is just b/c I am a girl (or at least that is what I choose to believe.
