30 Something Baby Doc

I was planning to go to Vegas this week t0 attend a medical conference. I registered for the conference just prior to the deadline several weeks ago. The web site wouldn't accept my CC payment, therefore I frantically gave multiple attemps to log my CC number in the system. Finally, after several error messages, I gave up. Thinking it wasn't meant to be.

I was out to dinner with my family (when they were in town), I tried to use my credit card to pay for dinner and it was rejected. I use another card, thinking it was a computer glitch. When I got home that night, I decided to check my credit card status online and to my shock, I found nearly 20 charges for $1000 (the cost of the conference). I was $5000 over my limit and the next minimum payment was $6000. All the charges had went thru. I call my CC company that night to claim the charges a fraudulant. (I'm suprised they approved all those charges in the first place). I called the medical conference the next day, and I was relieved to find out that others had experienced similar problems and the company was working hard to credit everyones card.

I contemplated whether or not I should still go and realized I have too much work to complete in town with my new house and also several teaching responsibilites at my job. I decided to use this as vacation time, stay in town and be productive.

Maybe this winter of spring, I'll finally experience VEGAS
