Damn, how much scotch did you spill that you require a shower?
Not much -- less than an inch in a plastic cup -- but it soaked through my jeans over most of my thigh.
Every nightmare I have that doesn't revolve around academic failure or public nudity is about that thing. In fact, once I dreamt that it attacked me while I was late for a test and naked.

“Not dead yet!”
Cass is very wise. (So is JZ. But I'm siding with Cass on this one.)
As am I.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Heh.West coast is only a vacation destination at this point, sadly. We can't afford to move. Being upside down on the house guarantees it.
Tep, I'm ok, just fucking pissed. The assholes are handling me, and that's the one thing I detest.
Waiting to board my flight home.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Turned out the check cleared on the same day as the overdrafts, just later.
Huh. You know they put the charges through before the deposits, right? They do that shit deliberately; it's happened to me several times.
Maria, good luck on removing yourself to a better situation!
Steph, I feel we are as one. My problem is the gangsta-wannabes who drive by with their horrid music blaring and the bass turned up so loud my windows vibrate. Several times a day. I've threatened to blast back at them with Charlie Daniels Band or something.

My fortune cookie tells me "All your hard work will soon pay off." I think I'm taping this one above my desk.

It's my own fault, since I got complacent and didn't look for anything else when the getting was good.
Sorry everyone. I needed to vent and I couldn't do it in the middle of the airport.

All I know about my friend's baby is that he is out of surgery. Hopefully he is already on the road to a full recovery.
We have pizza and drinks for dinner.

Maria, vent away and don't apologize. It's one of the things we're here for.

Our wings are not tired.
It doesn't help Sean today, but you all will be happy to know that the new Federal regulations re: banking and credit means that banks won't be able to pull that shit anymore.
Starting July 1, in an effort to protect consumers, the Federal Reserve will begin banning banks from charging consumers overdraft fees at ATMs and for one-time debit card transactions, according to a Federal Reserve press release. Consumers will have the option to consent, or opt in, to the overdraft service for those types of transactions if they want to continue receiving the service.
Like all other financial institutions, Bank of America is affected by the new rule, but it is going a step further than the rule requires. Starting June 19, Bank of America customers' debit card purchases will no longer go through if there is not enough money in their account, according to a March 10 Associate Press story. And if a customer attempts to withdraw more than his or her balance, he or she will have to agree to pay a $35 overdraft fee before the ATM will disperse the requested funds.
