Pitfall

Everything goes good for a while and then all of a sudden a bunch of crap happens! I am still really happy that school is going to be starting soon, and then I won't be so bored all the time. Also I will work less hours and the time that I'm at work I won't be doing very much since there isn't too much to do, which means I can read and do my homework! It's really nice that I have such a good job right now. I don't get paid very much, but it's a good amount for what I do (which isn't much). I make more than I did at the library and it was fun, but I worked hard. Sometimes I work hard, here, too, when there is work to do, but sometimes there's nothing to do so it evens out.

The only bad thing about school is that I don't have enough financial aid to take 20 credits this quarter, since I have to pay a few bills, so I have to be content with 15 credits. Next quarter and the one after though, I can take 20 so I am looking forward to that.

Work is really busy right now though so when I work I am constantly working and I still don't get everything done. Hopefully it will slow down soon, that will be nice to have a break. It might be busy until I start school, and that's okay too, just I don't have very much reading time at work anymore. That's okay though, too, because the stool makes my back hurt when I read for a while.

The really bad thing is that my credit card bill is astoundingly high since I had joined a DVD club thing a while back and I should have just already canceled by now but I keep forgetting to call and cancel, and they sent a DVD that I didn't want because I didn't respond to the notification that they were going to send it soon enough, and so I was just going to send it back, but I never got it. So I go on to look, and this is the address they sent it to:

CRYSTAL RAYPOLE
801 1515 N AZR CRYSTAL ST
EDWALL, WA 98926

I have no idea where they got that ridiculous address from, but that's what they have. I also don't know how the bill went through, since that's also the billing address! But it did, and that is the problem. Since it was a month before that, it went onto my credit card just recently, which is at the limit, and so I got charged for the DVD, for the overlimit fee (39.00), and so now I have to pay my regular payment (15) plus the DVD (25.49) plus the overlimit fee (39), PLUS the payment protector fee (5) which got attached to my account somehow, I have no idea how since I never heard about it or requested it. Fantastic. I can't wait to pay off the stupid card and cut it up. Credit is nice, sometimes, but I'm going to keep the USBank one instead of this one, which was what I was going to keep, because I've never ever had any problems with them.

So now on Monday I have to call everyone and get it straightened out. I'm sure if I get the DVD charge erased, which I'd better since I never got it, their fault, and was going to send it back anyway, they'll take away the overlimit fee and that will all be taken care of. The crappy thing is that my payment is due on Tuesday! Which is the reason I found all this out in the first place, because I was checking my payment.

Money sucks. Everything should be free, or else the only things that people should be able to get, at all, are what they need and only that. Then everyone will be the same and have the same amount of stuff and just worry about more important things. Okay, that really wouldn't work so well.
