I’ve spent several hours on the phone with E-trade, trying to close my account. They are probably the most frustrating and backwards company ever.

Closing my account involves a fax, where an email, internet, or phone will not do. I’ve sent a fax 3 times with instructions to close my account, everytime I call to confirm the closure, the outsourced representatives are annoyingly incoherent, diliberatly dodgy in their responses or absolutely have no idea what they’re doing. I just want my money. This is the last time I deal with this financial group. ever.

At the hotel in Denton, I was waiting for the elevator when a father of two, sitting in the lobby, yelled something in spanish at me. I turned around, puzzled. He asked if I spoke spanish.
No, I’m asian.
Oh. You look like you’re from Vera Cruz.
I’m from Taiwan.
Oh. Okay.
The elevator opened.

During intermission at an LSU play, my neighbor, returning to his seat, asked me if I was Nepalese.
“I had a friend who was from Nepalese.”
Nope, I’m Taiwanese.
