I'm doing bills, which means I check my snail mail (which means, I usually
check my snail mail once a month. Ah the joys of being on the digital edge)
and I get this letter from a credit card agency. I think I actually applied
when they caught me half asleep when they called me one morning.

Anyway, I got the rejection letter today:

> Dear Sean P. Conner:

Emphasis added

I do not have sufficient established revolving credit accounts.

Am I the only one that finds revolving credit accounts horrifying?
