So today, I'm super upset at the world. I don't mean that to sound so melodramatic, and it's not entirely true... but it sure in the heck feels like it.... so... how about I write a disclaimer for what I'm not angry at?
DISCLAIMER: When I say that I am mad at the world, I do not mean the following people/items. 1- I am not mad at either of my maid of honors whom did an amazing job with my bridal shower. 2- I am not mad at my mom who is doing all that she possibly can so that I get to have my wedding at the Elms where I want it. 3- I am not mad at my dad as there is no reason I should be. 4-I am not mad at my amazing husband-to-be Matt, because he puts up with me when I'm in these moods and none of it is his fault. In fact I'm highly thankful to matt for putting up with me and allowing me to bawl like a baby on his shoulder. 5/6/7/8- I am not mad at my ninny, aunt becky, jewelee or robbie. the first two as they help me through whatever I have to face and try to keep me as sane as possible, the later two because I've no reason to be mad at them and if there was a reason to be mad at them- their cuteness would override said reason. 9- I am not mad at my grandmother Nora who does what she can for me and although at times she can feel... restrictive... I know she does have my best interests at heart and honestly wants to help. 10- I am not mad at mountain dew- as it is my minor alcohol, i am also very thankful for it and don't know what I'd do without it.
Ok... disclaimer out of the way... what I AM mad at... well... there's really no one to blame.. and thus I say I am mad at the world. See, Matt and I opened a joint checking account but for reasons I'm not sure of I couldn't keep my individual account (nor did I want to, though I DO know why I didn't want to. I didn't WANT to keep it cause one checking account is more than enough to keep tract of, much less two) and so we closed that account, moved the funds to my new account, and linked my debit card to the new account. The problem being... I DID have auto-deposit on my paychecks... and so I made sure to uncheck auto-deposit at work and re-wire it to the new account instead, but sometime between the time I disabled auto-deposit and reenabled it with the new account, the new paychecks went through (last wed). Well... needless to say my funds did NOT get deposited into my new account, and I was expecting to get my paycheck in the mail... so I gave it till Friday then called up HR as my paycheck had yet to appear. A small solace was found in the fact that Matt DID get his paycheck physically handed to him on Friday.
So, we deposited his check in the account and paid off my wedding dress with the funds because my deadline to pay off the dress completely was Sunday. Well... for whatever reason the way our world works, you can withdraw funds ANYTIME you want and they'll happily take the money out of your account... unfortunitly, you can't just deposit money so freely. What ended up happening is that David's Bridal's payment wen through... Matt's paycheck is still on pending... and thus it now looks like we have insufficient funds.
Now, had all the paychecks gone through, we still would be broke and have no money now... but at least I could find peace in knowing my bills and stuff had been taken care of. As it is we are shown as having insufficient funds, AND my insurance, 3 credit card bills, cell phone, rent, and a small store-wide credit card still need paid before my next paycheck... normally all this would be taken care of... o, and I've no money left for food either.
Well, lets continue with the story. So, after finding my old account deleted, Citi mailed my check to me... and they said that the check should come in the mail today. Well, waitied till 5pm... checked the mail... not a thing. so I called them back and they said they don't know where the check is currently, but they are going to void that and then auto-deposit my check into my account, but due to bank processing and all that, the earliest I will get it is Wednesday. A whole week AFTER it was supposed to be given to me.
As for Matt's paycheck, I'm told it's supposed to go through tonight at midnight.... but still that's not too helpful... I think that will give us 50 dollars. YAY! *note sarcasm*
So while dealing with trying to find money to put into the gas tank (difficulty: 2), money to buy food with (difficulty: 100), and money with which to buy my tranquilizer (mountain dew) (difficulty: 5), I also had a wedding shower which I outlined a few previous entries back. (enjoyment level- 10) And with wedding showers come presents. and with presents not-given at the anniversary of your birth (also known as your birthday), comes the necessity of writing out thank you cards! (enjoyment level- 2. it gets points as I"m able to cuddle in my new blankets while doing this.) And while writing thank you notes is already at the top of my "yay I get to do this list", it just made the cake when, after getting back to my apartment, I seem to have lost my thank you notes mom gave me, as well as the list of who gave me what. So as much I as I seriously want to get to writing thank you notes... I can't cause I don't have the cards nor the paper telling who gave me what.
And to top it all off- when I got home Matt had cleaned the room up a bit- now THAT I am not angry about.. that was nice to come home to... what was NOT nice to come home to- Carolyn banged on the door, walked in and said how the room was nothing but a mess and she was allowing us to stay on the lease and it's disrespectful for us to keep the room in such a state of disarray. Now, had she said that yesterday, I'd recoil like some sad puppy that got smacked and begrudgingly cleaned up... as, yes, it is true that yesterday you could not have seen the floor... but matt worked hard on the room, the floor was near spotless and the only 'mess' left was on the futon where I had dumped my clean clothes and extra blankets and clothes that I really don't have room for elsewhere. and so, that just got added to the heap of things I'm mad about. Cause it's not easy fitting everything in this room unorganized... and it's near impossible to get everything to it's "rightful place" because it's all packed in tightly. I mean, there's just not enough space in the room for all of the clothing and stuff... so we do our best... but apparently that's not quite good enough.
Which.... reminds me! I missed something else that I'm mad at. I'm mad at my boss. Cause I'm honestly at a loss. I've worked freaking hard all of September, including times when everyone else was talking I just sat there ignoring the visitor and working my little butt off, verifying as many affidavits as I possibly could... and today I went to my boss and asked if I'd done enough to make goal as I didn't make goal for August and thus for the latter part of September I was put on overtime freeze. Well... turns out I did not make goal for September and thus will not be able to work overtime for October either. Which SUCKS cause I NEED overtime to help pay for the wedding... or at least to help pay for bills and rent when I'm done paying for the wedding... in anycase I NEED to be able to work overtime and I'm at a COMPLETE loss as I seriously did the best that I could throughout all of September and if mid-month reviews are to be believed (they don't change your overtime freeze status, just allow you to see how your doing thus far in that given month) then I had close to the highest number of affidavits ran... and yet I still did not make goal... I'm about ready to give up... seriously... when your best isn't good enough, what can you do?
And finally, I guess I have to recant what I said earlier cause I am a bit mad at Matt. But that's a recent development since I started writing this entry. See, he took the dirty laundry to his mom's house to cool off. We talked about me going but I need to be somewhere comfy and familiar. I needed to stay here... and I need him too but, alas, he needed to leave the apartment. So I decided that was fine, that he could leave and do the laundry and I'd stay here and cuddle up and cool off some, with the promise that he'd be back before 11 (which is "our time" as of thursday) and that we'd both wear hats until he got back. Well he went to Sunfresh with his brother, Chris and called while Chris ran inside and informed me that his hat "was too hot and thus he had to take it off" Well... that sounds silly but the hats were a connection... silly, yes, but it cheered me up a bit to think that we'd both look silly until he got back... and on top pf everthing else... It makes me minorly mad at him... but it's play-mad when considering all the above.
However, regardless how mad I am with the world and all that.... I did get up a video today for Randomchatters so that much I can consider good... although it's not much more than more ranting, I did include the mandatory why today is awesome... so yay! I promise I'll make a better video next week....
till next time,
