Its a Love / Hate thing

Technology.

I really do enjoy paying my bills online. Its easier for me. I rarely forget to get them paid. I'm never late. Its a good thing.

Any bill that I can pay online, I do.

What I hate is starting up a new account, though. I hate having to sift through the unfamiliar site, trying to figure out the jist of their set up.

Today, while moving my mortgage company payment online, I could not figure out how to make a payment. I pushed every button on their web page twice, I think!

Finally, I gave in and decided to call customer service.

Nearly immediately after jumping through the hoops to get a real live human being, I finally figured it out.

I love looking like a moron. Really, I do.

It's a good thing that you figured it out on your own. I have never talked with a customer service person who helped me in any significant way. Usually, I spend half of my time on hold, and the other half being switched from one department to another.
