Well... that happened.
Jul. 29th, 2008 01:14 pmSo here's my day so far.
I got up at 6:30 am, took a shower, and looked over my notes for class. Then I raced out the door to the university, leaving the bag with my snack in it by my dining room table. Since I'm one of those people who needs to eat, or they'll go space cadet, I had to dig out what money I had on me--a buck and change--and get a Reese's Peanut Butter Bar and a Doctor Pepper out of the vending machines.
So after class, I call the bank to see how much I have in the bank. I figure I can grab a bite to eat and get gas. Well, the balance seemed suspicious, so I went to the bank, and I was like, "Hi, did my cable company cash that check?" They said the cable company did NOT cash a check. And apparently, so had someone else along the way, because the balance I had when I called on Friday was just not what it was supposed to be. In fact, I discovered that I was about 8 bucks from being overdrawn when the cable company DID cash the check.
SO! I was pretty determined to not have to call my aunt and uncle for an 8 buck loan. I went home and pulled out my change stash--I'm one of those people who horde change just in case something like this happens. So I wound up back at the bank with a ginormous bag of pennies. I sat out in my car and rolled seven bucks worth, went in, added three bucks in silver change, deposited it and left in search of a cold beverage.
I still have a ginormous bag of pennies, and I'm thinking I might roll them tonight. I get paid on Thursday and Friday, but I need gas and money for lunch at work Thursday.
That's my day so far. :D It's a damn good thing I have a sense of humor.
