the "information age"

So the internet was invented yesterday. At least, according to Wachovia (WalkAllOvahYah). I owe dad some money. We both have individual checking accounts at WalkAllOvahYah. Since we had to go to our local branch anyway to deposit a check, we asked there if we could transfer the money electronically. Their answer: "Well, ummm... you could... maybe-- hey Billy-Bob, stay AWAY from the livestock-- sorry, maybe er, do BillPay?" So I came home & tested that first, added my parents as a biller, then added and paid a $2 bill. And dad just got a printed check in the mail (physical mail, not email) for $2!!! Hellooooo? What complete nonsense! And I just called their "Online Services" department, thinking that there was something I'd missed. No. They're too busy dealing with Billy-Bob. Since WalkAllOvahYah is our ONLY local bank, I can't wait to move to a bigger town-- sorry, scratch that-- a town at all. At least, a town without Billy-Bob.
