thejunipertreeLast night, the Engineer came over and we were
going to head to the bookstore. I need to stock
up for this pending trip to Miami and all of the
books in my apartment have been read or are not
fit for reading.
Stop at the MAC machine.
Check my balance before withdrawal because I
know I'm getting low and I don't want to over
draw and incur ANOTHER fucking bounced check fee.
What's this?!
-$131.29
NEGATIVE?!
How the fuck can it be negative? When I got paid
the other week, I carefully carefully carefully
wrote everything out. All of my expenses. Even
the ones which I haven't written checks for yet,
they got added into it and the money was
considered to not even be in my account, in my
mind.
So, why do I have a negative balance? There should
be AT LEAST sixty dollars left in there. I freak
out. I can't buy books, let alone feed myself for
five days in sunny fucking Miami.
Unhappy me.
This morning, I call the bank. "I have a problem."
The girl who always deals with me looks up my
account on the computer and informs me that my
loan payment was taken out on the fifth. The
loan payment that OVER A MONTH AGO I requested
to be deducted on the fifteenth. I got paid
on the fifteenth and the last day of the month.
Having it taken out on the fifteenth is to
ensure that the money needed for the payment will
ALWAYS be in there, come hell or high water.
When it's taken out on the fifth, it WILL NOT be
in there because IT IS NOT THE FIFTEENTH YET!
She said she was going to look into it and then
call me back. This was at eleven this morning.
It is now almost two thirty.
I'm so pissed off. With the way my luck runs,
I'm going to have to eat this. Suck up the
bounced check fee and grin like I'm loving it.
That is SO not how it is going to happen, if I
have any say in the matter. And I will cancel
my account if they don't fix their fucking
mistake and right quick.
