It aint right!
|
I may have mentioned that I am going to Washington DC with my job next month for a conference. My supervisor went ahead and submitted a travel advancement for me about a month ago so that I could make my hotel reservations on my credit card. Well of course the hotel does not charge your card until you check out of the hotel. They just use your card number to make the reservations. Keep in mind that I�m broke as hell even though I did just get paid last week, so when I got to work this morning and opened my email and read this: This is an automatic notification from the (my job�s name here) Direct Deposit Service. An electronic payment has been made to your account and should post to your account within two business days. I actually got a little moist. I go to the automatic deposit website and sure enough $800 has been direct deposited into my bank account. Do those direct deposit folks know that they just made a BIG ASS MISTAKE!!! I am the worse when it comes to money and budgeting. I only have $20.00 a week spending limit for this month. I know as long as I don�t go over that $20�I can make it thru the month without having dip into my almost non-existent savings account or having to beg my mom for money. The hard part is, I need some new gym shoes (even though my fat ass aint been to the gym all week), I need a new MAC compact, I could really use some fall work shoes and clothes, my tags on my car are now expired, I need to get a smog check before I can even renew my tags, my license is now expired and I refuse to go and spend $15 of my weekly $20 allowance to renew it. And now these mutha fuckers are teasing by going and depositing $800 dollars into my account. Are they crazy do they know what will happen to that money?? I realize that the money is supposed to be for the trip. It�s supposed to cover my hotel cost, food, shuttle and other incidentals. But that money could also be used to get some new shoes, clothes, and get my car taken care of so I don�t get hauled off to jail for driving while black with an expired license and tags. Oh lawd whats I gonna do?? I can�t spend the money cause there is no way I would be able to replace it come November when it�s time for the trip�but damn I�m livin like a bum and I�m tired of it. Can you believe that I have not been shopping since July?? Not the occasional grab a shirt or a pair of shoes that are on sale shopping, I�m talking bout spending at least $200 dollars at a time shopping. I think that�s a new record for me. My wardrobe is starting to look really, really depressing. And I�m struggling finding stuff to wear in the morning now that fall is approaching. I have plenty of summer clothes but got rid of most of my winter gear when I moved. I thought I would be able to replace it�but unless I hit up the second hand stores it aint gonna happen. Oh and now this shit, I just got an e-mail from Lerner and the Limited with fucking coupons attached to them. I see somebody up above does not love me. How could you possibly tease a recovering shop-a-holic with $800 dollars in her account?? I aint right�It just aint right!! |
