Virgin Mobile and PayPal - The Art of Redundancy

I need to top up my Virgin Mobile phone.

I don’t have the cash on hand to purchase a top-up card. I never do because I’m broke. On the other hand, I do have the money in my PayPal account, which they accept as a form of payment! What luck!

Yeah, right. Is it ever that simple?

I have a couple pay-on-line options. I could either add my credit/debit card (neither of which I have) or use PayPal. Sounds like a no-brainer for this semi-geek.

*Loud buzzer sound goes here*

I tried to add my PayPal account to my Virgin Mobile account, only to be told that to continue I must add my credit or debit card to my PayPal account, again, neither of which I have.

What’s up with this? I have $0.28 on my phone account, and since I haven’t topped up this month, it’s costing me 18 cents per minute (even though I still have minutes, but since I haven’t given them their monthly tithe, my account it doth sucketh). And now, I have no way to add cash.

Normally it wouldn’t be a big deal, except I have given all of my perspective employers that phone number. Oh, and I don’t have a land line.

What’s the point of offering an alternative payment method if you are required to do the things you don’t want to do anyway? It just seems a bit stupid to me.

Withdrawl!

No internet!

Stone age laptop!

On the other hand, I managed to find a job as a tow truck driver. I’ll be starting this coming friday.

It’s so nice to be quitting BWG.

Back to the grind!

Tomorrow I have to go back to work.

I get three-day weekends every now and then, but today I did something different with my ‘free time’. I went job hunting!

I don’t want to get up at 3:30 and drive for an hour to get to my job in the near-freezing weather. I don’t want to be given a random route to haul, and I sure don’t want to work for a company that doesn’t respect my wishes or the DOT regulations anymore.

So with that, I dropped applications at several trucking-based services in my area. I really hope they turn out well.

Because driving to that wretched place is, uh, wretched.

Computer training is a necessity…

Everyone knows that it’s difficult to find good work these days without being familiar with computers. For those who may be looking to upgrade their skill set, there are sites such as ComputerBasedTrainings.net. They provide general computer learning, excel training, and other necessary things like PMP training to help beef up that resume.

So far, the only real drawback is some rough english on the site, but I’m sure that won’t stop the determined student (after all, you can find difficult to understand professors at most colleges…). If you need the skills, they have the training to fit your needs.
