Nuts and Cabbages

So I filled out an online application for a HSBC business checking account about a week and a half ago thinking that would be it. The online application asked for a decent amount of information about my business. I figured they’d process it, then ask me to send in some documents. Instead, 2 days ago I got this thick application packet that I have to fill out with information I already submitted. Not only that, there are 2 questionnaires that are pretty repetitive (both ask the same questions). I’ve filled out most of it and I have to photocopy something; I’ll be sending it out in the next 2 days. I don’t know but if you ask me, asking for the same information 3 times in 2 different mediums seems pretty inefficient. I guess this is why consultants have jobs.

In other news, I really want the Friends series box set - The One With All Ten Seasons. It’s a limited edition in a wooden box with a swinging glass door. I’m monitoring one on Ebay. It’s much cheaper than what’s offered on Amazon and I feel like buying it so badly. But I must refrain from extraneous expenses - every bit of extra change I can save after necessities like food I am saving for my venture. I recently started watching the Friends series over for like the 5th or 6th time, not even including the original episodes and current reruns on TV. What a great show.

Speaking of Amazon, I posted a lot of my old textbooks and it seems I haven’t sold any yet. Probably because it’s the middle of the semester but still. I really need to get rid of them. They’re a pain in the ass to move around.

By the way, “nuts and cabbages” is just some phrase my housemate made up and I’ve been using it a lot lately. It’s kind of like a statement of frustration or dissatisfaction. Nuts and cabbages!
