Bill paying and automated vs real person on phone

Yea but you missed two hurricanes to save me since. Ok, I admit I didn't ask for your help for subsequent hurricanes. 

Did I mention my cat jumped out of the van on the event you helped me out on, when we reached the hotel almost 200 miles inland? 

You kept me calm getting home. I love you for that. 

But being the DUMBASS I was I let my cat out of his carrier on the ride, but when we got to the hotel, he didn't want to be left behind. So when I got out of the van, the cute little bugger, unbenounced to me, jumped out of the van  in the hotel parking lot when I opened the door. So I went in, not knowing he jumped out. Lucky for me, they had a room. Because if they had not, I could have easily seen myself getting back in the van and driving off without him to find another hotel. But because I did get a room, I went back to the van to collect him, and NO CAT. So I stood in the parking lot screaming his name. And fortunately for me, a black lady took notice, I explained to her that my cat got out of the van, and shortly after, she spotted him in the bushes close to the entry.

So to me, there is nothing "auto" about life, not even technology. I am a fan of technology for sure, but just like that black lady, who kept my cat and I together. and just like you got me home.  there are always some things technology can't do.
