Once again--despite my best intentions and my constitutional sobriety in such matters--I've managed to have my hopes raised again by the prospect of a snow day only to see them dashed when the blizzard turned out to be a flurry. Curse you, [institution redacted]! You realise you're like a bad parent promising their child a special trip "if the weather cooperates" and then reneging at the last minute, time and time again.
Last night, I attempted to log into my brokerage account to make copies of my transactions that should satisfy the unending nosiness of my mortgage brokers only to find my access denied and a message to call my broker. First thing in the morning, I did, and made the unwelcome discovery that they've got the absolute worse hold music I've heard from anyone in months. (Despite it being fifteen into the work day on the East Coast, the representative "had even logged into the computer yet".) Turns out they've made two "security updates" in the past month or so, both of which require re-verifying my account. Of course, did they think to send me any notification?
