Damn Overdraft Charges

Okay, I know I need to be more consistent with these entries. I'm going to try harder to submit a new post on a regular basis, even when I don't have much to report.

Did I mention that the old DM of my store got the boot? Well, he did, and good riddance. Since then, work has been pretty much cake, except for the Eager Beaver who's temporarily running the store while my boss is away. I can't wait for my old boss to come back.We all really miss her. The sooner she's back, the sooner we can get back to our little dysfunctional family. In the meantime, Eager Beaver is holding out hours on some of the workers, while trying to dump a bunch of unwanted ones on me. No can do, I said. I need my 'me' time. As much as I loove slinging videos, I do have a life outside work.

Then again, picking up a few extra hours may not be such a bad idea. As it turns out, I owe over $600 in overdraft charges at the bank. Total bullshit! I knew I had an overdraft charge, but last time I checked I had owed only $400, half of which I paid off with my entire paycheck. After that I didn't use my debit card once--not once! Guess what, though. I still had a bunch of little charges made earlier--like, from the month before--to account for, which the bank, in its infinite financial wisdom, decided to kick in after I had paid half my overcharged balance. So I'm still racking up overdraft charges on purchases I thought were already paid for. Sucks, doesn't it? Totally.

Fuck banks. Fuck' em in the balls. If only our government would let them fail. And as a tax payer, don't I own a fraction of this corrupt system? Aren't I, in a sense, being penalized for money I've barrowed from myself? Okay, so it's not as simple as that. I know, I know. Still, it's such a scam. It' s total theft! How can the bank let me take out money I don't have, and never consciously asked for, and then punish me royally for $3.00 sandwich and a cup of coffee? Yeah, I know...personal responsibility and all that jazz. Seriously, if you believe this go hurl yourself from your ivory tower into a lake of fire. It's a mistake. People make them all the time. Only in America do people redefine human error as an abominable moral crime. In this country, everyone is alway looking for the next scam to make them millionaires. There's a business in personal failings, lots of cash to be made off the misfortune of others, and it's sickening. Living in a free market economy means the burden is on you to measure how long is the dick that's screwing you in the ass. Screw this country and everyone in it.

Sorry for all the cursing. I'm feeling really defeated over this overdraft thing. Tomorrow I'll go down to my neighborhood branch and see what I can do about it. If they can't do anything for me, I'll just have to think of something.
