Grumpy Aka is Grumpy
Nothing at all is wrong, but this Monday is just working my nerves! The way I was running late for work (totally my fault), that my darling love was feeling bad (we've both been sick), that my dog piddled on the floor by my bad (I slapped his ass good for that one). Just little things that amount to nothing THAT OMG GRUMPED ME OUT.
Well, then there is this: times are really tight right now (nothing new there) and I am tired of scraping up and moving savings and robbing Peter to pay Paul for things like a hair cut or bags of Halloween candy. So, my local news station promotes local businesses by offering 2 for 1 gift certificates- in the instant case, the 2 for 1 deal was for the local full service car wash/detail shop/ quick lube. Normally a full service car wash and an oil change costs about $45. They were selling oil change gift cards that included a free car wash, 2 for the price of 1 for $35. So my and darling love can both take our rides in for maintenance and istead of paying $90, pay only $35.
Except, the online promotional would not accept my debit card (I have not updated my address information from when I moved), so I put it on a credit card (which I did not want to do because you can't get out of debt by using credit cards...) I just checked my bank online...$35 was debited from my account. So during the transaction, I get the declined message due to conflicting information.....then they went ahead and charged my card anyway. And presumably my credit card.
The last time I went to Avon.com, they doubled charged my debit card due to their server malfunction. The last time I went to zappos.com, I was also double charged due to a server glitch. (And both of those instances were either gifts or I was trying to help a sista out).
I am making a good faith effort to save money AND help out family and friends and I keep getting doubled charged. WTF. I want to be responsible with my money, not just toss it out the window. Stupid shit like this makes me grumpy. *crosses arms and glares*
On the other hand, if 4 gift cards show up instead of two, well, that's just one more unexpected Christmas gift I can tuck away for someone.
ETA: There is Sephiroth/Cloud smut on my flist. Alas, I feel the rampaging tide of financial woe receding. Ahhhhhhhh.
