Finally! I got a call back from a human being at CA who not only said she would make sure that I don't get charged but that I'll get a refund of $50, because (get this) I've been paying for two subscriptions every year since 2007. She can't give me a refund for something older than six months or something like that, so apparently the money I spent needlessly in '07 and '08 is gone, but the fee I'd already paid in '09 is coming back to me.
What really annoys and worries me is that I never noticed the double charges. Probably because they happened on different months, and I can't remember back to the previous month. I do recall once going through an "I thought I just paid that" thing, and trying to track it down, but I could have sworn we got it worked out at that time.
Now, dear Flist, I'm in a quandary. J (friend who works at the airport but not directly with us) was talking about going out dancing tonight. I love dancing and haven't been in ages, but the weather is supposed to be bad (not a lot of precipitation, I think, but indications are there might be a good deal of ice on the roads). And it wasn't until I got home that I realized tonight is New Year's Eve. I used to always want to go out on NYE, but have made it a habit to not do so for years because, as Eor says, who wants to ring in the new year with a bunch of amateur drunks? And they're all going to be on icy roads, tonight. Hm. I really want to spend time with J, and she's for some reason fixated on this night... possibly because you can get away with just about anything in the general lawlessness of NYE and I think she's really a very self-conscious person. The other person she said might go was M (also works at the airport for yet another company - it's like a village, really), who I also like, and both J and M are tall and fit women (I come about up to their shoulders, I'd look like a midget hanging with both of them), so maybe any troublemakers would think twice, but that won't change my drive home. Of course, weather being what it is, it might not end up being bad at all, you never can tell. And I might be able to get a cheap hotel room with my gov't ID, or crash at one of their houses.
Maybe I'll just pack an overnight bag and keep putting off the decision until I see how the weather seems to be panning out.
