Not Cool

Today... er... Monday/Tuesday? Whatever. Either way, it was totally awful.

I got home from work somewhat tired, but not too sore. Was all right. Came home, stayed up a bit, tried to unwind.

Around the time I was getting ready to go to bed, I got an email from a site I'd ordered some toys from saying that my debit card hadn't worked. Confused, I went to check on my account.

Last I'd checked, I'd had a little over three hundred dollars there. As I viewed it then, it said I was nearly four hundred in the hole.

This prompted a severe freak out from me. I was tired, had developed a headache, and it looked as if maybe a month of rent I'd saved as well as one I hadn't were gone.

I bugged two separate people about it, all the while crying yet again like a non-adult over something that had gone wrong. When the bank finally opened, and I was calm enough, I went down there to see what had happened.

It turned out to be just an error on the computer's fault, and the people at the bank were very sorry and sweet about the whole thing. I love my bank- the tellers knew who I was just after me coming in twice and have always been very helpful. When I came in, they already knew the problem and had even fixed it just minutes before I arrived.

Someone had come in earlier and withdrew $700 from their account. However, the account numbers got messed up on the receipt- telling the system that  it was my account that the withdrawal was coming from. But they'd already fixed the error and now everything is okay. Thank God.

By the time I got home, I'd been up for twenty-two hours. My headache wasn't gone when I woke up either, which is odd. I've never had that happen before. But yeah.

I have earned myself some relaxation now. I'm going to enjoy every moment of it.

money, disasters
