The best use I have ever heard for the word FICA

PetesWeekly.Com Petes Weekly will be back next week, in full force. The past 10 days have been awfully interesting, however. The highlight - my daughter finally arriving on Tuesday evening, and after 17 years I get to practice parenthood again. The lowlight - my bank arbitrarily deciding, without warning, to freeze my business bank accounts because they felt it was time for me to get FICA'd. Absolutely no concept of the knock-on effect of such a drastic action! I don't know about you, but I sure am getting exercised about SA banks behaving as if we're all criminals, charging us the earth, with service levels that make Telkom look almost maternal. Maybe more about that next week when I have had some sleep and time to calm down. Have a great weekend, and if YOUR bank gives you uphill, tell them to go FICA themselves.
