Fucking banks. Everything is automated and they can call you two seconds after you withdraw your account, but they don't have the capability to see when funds are available from another check. AND, the money on hold (that I had to ask my mother for, and I was completely ashamed) shows as a fucking debit on my already overdrawn account. So my electric bill wasn't going to get paid, the whole damn reason I had to ask for the money (and for, you know, gas and food because I'm selfish like that). I called and the girl I spoke with called a higher-up who happens to be my third cousin. She said there was nothing they could do about the hold but she WOULD make sure the electric bill wouldn't be returned. Otherwise, temps in my place can reach 100 degrees pretty quickly.

I know why people kill themselves over financial woes. I had to go and fuck up my life by having my 27 year old capped teeth break and having insurance that didn't cover an entire 1800 dollars. I don't know too many people who have 1800 saved up in case they end up looking like a character in Deliverance...and I have, for months now, been robbing peter to pay paul just trying to keep my head above water.

Promises from people that they will try to give me money for having let them live on my couch never come to fruition.

Good guys get fucked.

I'm so distraught and upset and I can't concentrate on anything at work or in my life. I'm tired of doing it all alone, I'm tired of playing Miss Independent and I'm tired of being strong. The choices seem to be: find a way to get in the crossfire of some gang murder in this armpit of a city, or win the lottery. I can tell you which is most likely.

As I side note: to all the attention whores who always remind us how noble they are and the rest of us should be noble like them because they hit the tip jar...good for fucking you. I do what I can, when I have it. Your transparent, self-serving admonitions (and I ain't talking about the mod) don't help those of us who can't do anything at the time, but still sometimes feel the need to find support here at teh Cellar, which I'm sure you think we don't deserve, and it's a special form of tacky redneckiness to want attention and accolades for your contributions to ANYTHING.
