doesn't the speed of the digital age sometimes slow you down?

Has this ever happened to you. You have a credit or debit card for several years. In most cases it never leaves your wallet because you normally only use the card online and so when you missplace the card or the wallet, because you have transactions pending on that account and you're sure that you have just missplaced it and "It will turn up eventually." is basically the attitude because you still have the number and via the internet you can still use the card exactly the way that you always have. That is until you finally request a replacement card. Then all of the mobility and agility that your money, well your card, gave you access to gambling, gaming sites, monthly subscriptions, everything in your digital world that costs money CEASES!! Unless you want to pay your credit card company extra to send your card overnight your access to your digital funds is still total, however your ability to use any of theat money is gone until they mail your new card in 7 to 10 business days. This has recently happened to me. Since I know that I just misplaced the card and the money that I make online from my phonesex thing is direct deposited daily to my account I have not bothered to cancel and get a new card in about two months. Now I am on day 14 of waiting for my new card and the frustration is beginning to build. Unfortunately for me the card has not arrived and you can't get through to customer service unless you have an active card number. And so I wait!
