Pain in the Patootie
Jul. 26th, 2007 01:48 amWednesday afternoon I spent a lovely couple of hours with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
debgeisler and elainebrennan visiting the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston. The museum was great, a welcome oasis of air-conditioned comfort, calm, and visual stimulation on a hot summer afternoon in the city. Thanks for suggesting it, Deb! I look forward to returning again. Soon, I hope.
Then I tried to use my credit card to pay for our parking.
The credit card reader at the MFA wasn't cooperating. After two "card denied" messages, I stuck a $20 in the slot and soon walked out with the validated parking card and my change.
I didn't think any more about the card not working until I arrived home shortly after midnight to find a message on my answering machine from the card's fraud services unit. ( The 4-part harmony. )
Onward.
