A Post-Script to Nate's Guest Blog, Written by Nate and Posted by the Editorial We, Meaning Jess
In an Orwellian finale, I just received an email from my bank. Here are the highlights:
1) Incomprehensible subject line (see blog post title above). Did anyone actually test this feature?
2) Apparently my email address does not allow me enter into contact with the bank. That's fucking odd, since they're communicating with me RIGHT NOW USING THAT EMAIL ADDRESS. I think we've entered the logic-free zone. [Editor's note: Wait...we've just now entered it?]
3) They've helpfully reminded me that checking on my account online is free! Wow! What a deal.
4) They didn't solve my problem at all.
I'm obviously up against a kind of invincible logic black hole with a gravitational pull so powerful that even previously established facts are sucked in and systematically disproven.

Hey guys
I know that this must be incredibly frustrating for you but I am thoroughly entertained in SF. Thank you for that.
And to provide you with as much helpfulness as the french banking system has provided, I think from here on out you should respond to every 4th comment with:
"You have to speak louder. I can't hear you when you mumble."
Or...
"Vous devez parler plus fort. Je ne peux pas vous entendre quand vous marmonnez"
Haha, glad our banking misery gave you a nice laugh. I suppose this falls under the category of "schadenfreude".
And yeah, I'm definitely going with the flow here -- I mock in blogs to vent -- but I think any kind of real effort to mount an (internal or external) resistance to the everyday failures of logic would only end in real frustration.
