Business Cards

I have just ordered 250 free business cards for my own personal use. They have my name, address, e-mail and telephone number on them against a strange sky blue background with a vague sort of crystalline web structure on it.

I hope that I haven't jinxed anything and that I shall continue at this address long enough to give out at least three or four other than those that go to family members, obligato.

Torpedoes Away!

It doesn't take much to turn a body into a U Boat commander. Just a hat and a collared black pique, really. Just as well as it's the wrong time of year and far too hot for the leather submariner's jacket.

Foiled Again!

My¹ Grand Plan^TM has failed at the first important hurdle, damn it.

It was simple enough, the age old hunt-around-for-a-new-low-interest-credit-card and transfer the balances to it from existing, more expensive cards scheme. Easy, peasy.

Stage 1: Identify the card with the best rate, particularly for balance transfers: check;

Stage 2: Apply for card: check;

Stage 3: Get accepted for card: check;

Stage 4: Receive card; get all excited: check;

Stage 5: See desultory credit limit of lower value than the recycling value of the plastic in the card: check.

I don’t need another card; I wanted to transfer the balances and close cards to save money. I think I shall have to phone them up and say thanks, but no thanks and then send them the pieces in a nice envelope.

Back to the drawing board.

¹More accurately, Furtle’s Grand Plan. But it seemed to be such a good one!
