Instant banking?
Apr. 26th, 2007 01:25 pmI've managed to overdraw my checking account, thanks to an online payment that somehow took several days to be debited. How is that possible, in this day of electronic banking? I looked at my balance Monday, didn't check the actual transactions, mea culpa, because I thought, gee, I paid them last week OF COURSE it's been deducted by now. *mumblemumblemumble*
Naturally, that means they're going to hit me with a $28 service charge (but thank God for overdraft protection!) for being overdrawn, and after three or five days (I forget which, this rarely happens to me!), they tack on $5 a day for having a negative balance.
I'm not to pleased by the state of affairs, but hey, I own it. It still isn't as bad as the time Wal*Mart took almost a month to deposit one of my checks...that was a REAL clusterfuck. I bounced several checks, and got hit with all the fees TWICE, because everyone tried to redeposit them. I ended up so far in hock that even after my next paycheck was direct deposited, I was still $50 in the hole. I was living on fried egg sandwiches for a month.
Meanwhile, I'm writing again. I haven't been able to crank my brain enough to get the John-Nancy 'verse going, but I'm working on the sequel to "Son of a Bitch", where Dean meets his illegitimate kid. (Basically, I'm putting season two through a blender. It kind of references people who appear, but it isn't going to spoil anything.) And oh goody, I've finally figured out a way to do Wincest that doesn't squick me!
Now I need to get ready for work, alas. It's a shame, because I'm inspired. It's always something!
