i am so annoyed with today. i've been so happy for the past five months that life was like hey - lets dish out as much SHIT as we can! i dunno. i'm aware that everything is a roller coaster... i guess i kinda expected bad stuff to happen at some point.
i remember why i don't like putting my money into banks. they're never completely accurate and timely and if you do something wrong - they suck you dry! back in march i had a dispute with compass bank because pizza hut sent through a charge that wasn't supposed to go through and messed all my shit up. compass will only credit me back a few od charges because then a check went through (that would of been covered if it weren't for pizza hut and compass' ridiculous $36 od fees)... but that's not reason enough for them to credit back all of the fees?? not my fault assholes! i had everything perfectly planned out. so the most recent occurance - i sent out my rent check on the 3rd thinking that everything would be collected by the week it usually takes them to cash the check. i actually got enough cash together on tuesday and went in wednesday pretty early in the day and deposited it. CASH SHOULD BE AN IMMEDIATE CREDIT. am i wrong? it was more than enough to cover the check and then some. anyways... i looked at my account before i deposited... no check was pending or anything. i looked at my account after i deposited... it had my pending cash - and no pending check. well today... i looked at my account and see that they returned my rent check from today and charged me for it. now for one - it should of been covered by the deposit i made. another thing, i have overdraft protection - which if anything does happen (because i'm always making mistakes anyways), it will be charged to my credit card. this was set up from when i set up the account. but nooo... they say they had it routed to a savings account that doesn't have any money in it. grr. so either the guy fucked up from the beginning or they're systems are screwed. i'm leaning towards the first option. anyways... a returned check on your rent? that means the landlord can (and probably will) charge me a returned check fee and $5 per day that rent is now late. thanks a lot assholes. so the bank says that i can go into that branch and get everything straightened out and they might be able to give me a letter explaining that it was there fault to give to my landlord. which means... i have to take time out of my already pretty hectic schedule to sit down and bitch at someone because they can't do their job? grr.
next thing... my dad. i've made posts before that he's sick. been to the hospital with heart failure, high blood pressure and fluid in his lungs. since the divorce everything has been pretty down hill for him. he's broke and jobless... and can't really get a job because of this condition. he has no government assistance and is too depressed and unmotivated to try - and his totalling $500/month perscriptions are too much money for him to handle. he lost his auto shop, his car broke down, and his health again has depleated. it's depressing talking to him and he starts this 'i love you' thing that only happens when he thinks he's dying. so tomorrow i'm going over there to fill out paperwork for him and have him sign it - and refill his prescription for him.
speaking of cars... my electrical system is screwing up in mine. not to mention the other day my car did something weird. like it lost acceleration power on the highway for a few seconds. but it may of been because it was wet outside and could of been an air/water bubble. i hope i can figure out my lights... i need my inspection soon. oh and that wreck i was in on HALLOWEEN... that guy tried to claim injury or whatever. well the insurance company made him and OFFER and he turned it down saying that it's not enough. which is bullshit because he was in a big suburban and i was in this little car with no pain at all... yea RIGHT! well now they're investigating him for scamming/fraud. fucking asshole. i hope he gets his.
school is done with this semester. i think i did ok on the finals... but i don't really know until he emails me the scores. it could be dissapointing. we'll see. all the classes i wanted to take this summer are either not available, a tv course or doesn't have a good teacher. i settled for one class, human growth and development. hopefully it'll be good.
probation appointment is tomorrow morning. i haven't been going to aa - and i really hate being on this shit. i dunno.
so tired right now. i never feel like i have enough time for anything. my boyfriend moved far away so if i wanna see him i have to drive all the way out there and drive back. he usually stays the night so i don't have to drive back and forth within one day. this week they scheduled me for 48 hours. good for pay i think but it's wearing me out. plus i had to study for finals this week so that took time too. i need more sleep. i should go to bed soon.
the only thing good about today was going to watch the bats under the old mcneil/35 bridge with my baby. he showed me his snakes at his house earlier in the day and we also went to thundercloud and he bought me a sandwich. i really enjoy spending time with him and he could tell i was stressed and had a lot on my mind. i was grumpy today, man... hope he still loves me haha. oh well. he does so much for me and i'm so glad he's in my life.
i think that's all... i'm going to go to sleep.
