Today’s deck is the Bettlejuice Tarot.
You know, I do like Beetlejuice… the cartoon that is, the movie never did it for me. Same with Ace Ventura but NOT The Mask. I loved the cartoon and first movie equally.
That did cause a funny moment like 10 years ago when I became aware of the raunchy fame of the OG Ace Ventura and I was like “really?” but remembering I was thinking about the cartoon I checked the movie and went “okay yeah”.
As for the deck? It’s fine, it suffers from REMEMBER THIS SCENE-itis. It’s one of those where you could replace the art with screenshots for similar effect. Please note that while I say that, I’d have less respect for it if it did that.
I’ll save what today’s reading means since to be honest I feel like it hit something where trying to explain it might be TOO personal even for me.
Speaking of readings, a couple of days ago when the month started the reading for the month predicted a bunch of money woes… we didn’t have to wait too long to see that bullshit.
Things start, as usual, with me trying to do something only to find my account locked, so I message the bank asking what the fuck. They go “we’re working on it, by the way, can you send us your updated RIF”.
RIF is basically Venezuela’s tax information number. The website for the SENIAT (Venezuela’s tax entity) has this funny thing where it’s region locked. If you’re not using one of Venezuela’s ISPs and such you just cannot enter the website for some god forsaken reason.
And here’s the thing, they asked me for the RIF weeks ago on the initial “I’m locked out of my funds but I need said funds to do the thing you’re asking me” loop and because of all the hoops to get a RIF living in Japan I go “hey, here’s one we sent you in January, is this okay?”. And they didn’t get back to me about it and there was no issue so it WAS fine.
So that brings two questions.
- Why not tell me at the moment to update it later?
- Why do I always find this shit out after it’s too late and I’m locked out of my shit?
The thing that truly gets me is that places like banks are so particular about things being done in a timely manner. You better do this by this day or your life will be hell. So you’d THINK that by extension the moment things get solved they’re as fast to resume service as they were cutting it.
You’d THINK.
So I go pester my family to help me with getting the thing. Because it’s been a while there’s a bunch of delays with them being like “is this your cellphone?” “is this your email?”. My dad gets to the page with the PDF, presses Print, hits the “save as PDF button”…
…and gets a .do file.
…
Why is my homeland like this?
Thankfully a .do can easily become a .pdf by renaming the extension but fucking hell fuck me fuck.
The bank HAD unlocked the account in the meantime while I was sorting things so I wanna think me shaming them with “it’s unfair to be locked out when you can see me in this same thread asking if the RIF I sent was okay and I didn’t hear back” worked.
Having that done means I get to be merry for the rest of the night right? WRONG! You see, I found out about the locked account because I was trying to move money in order to get a credit card from that bank, and it was the same day where I got the gazillion contracts so I spent well into 6AM signing, stamping, and scanning contracts.
And people still have the balls to ask me petulantly why no new games…
