I hate money… it always gunks up the works. I know it’s impossible to live with out (well at least for me it is) but sometimes I wish I could be a hermit. Wednesday Jimbo went to get some money out of the bank and it gave him some weird error but he was able to pull the money out.. and then it tells him we’re negative 90 something dollars. So he goes into the bank and they tell him it’s in a pending status and they can give us more information on Thursday.

So Thursday we find out its some kind of charge from Amazon.com, which is weird so I call the bank to dispute it and I find out that now i’m negative 170 something dollars. The bank said that they will investigate it, and if they find in my favor I get everything back, but it can take up to 45 days for this to happen.

I call my work to see if I can get the direct deposit stopped so I don’t lose even more money and I found out that the submit it on Wednesday (but it doesn’t actually post until like 4:30 am on Friday). I’m so pissed off right now, this is not the first time my bank has pulled some crap so I’m looking to get another one.

Now I’m gonna be short on several bills cause I’m out a couple hundred dollars. Blargh I just needed to bitch! Jimbo went out of town this weekend so I’m having to catch rides to and from work (we only have one car), which is okay but I’m having to cut back on hours because nobody works my specific schedule. At least I only live like 5 miles from work so it’s not out of the way for anyone.

I swear I feel like I’m going to go freaking insane. My husband and I have been fighting non stop for like the past week over stupid bullshit and I’m getting so sick of it. I haven’t been able to focus on anything lately. I’m so freaking pissed off at him right now that I’m going to be sleeping at work tonight because I just can’t go home.

He’s got a buddy that is staying the week with us, and I absolutely can not stand it when he’s around his friends. What little common sense he has just flies out the freaking window when he gets around his friends.

Not only that, but the check engine line came on, and I have a 100,000 mile warranty, but supposedly the repairs that need to be done aren’t covered in the warranty. It’s gonna cost me over 400 to get it fixed, and I just don’t have the extra money.

Right now I’m just so fed up with everything I have no idea what I’m going to do. Don’t be surprised if I go AWOL in the next few days. I can’t focus on anything, and every time I get online I feel so guilty for neglecting the site.

It just doesn’t seem like I can catch a break. Things had been going really well. Jimbo and I moved into the new apartment, and the minor issues we were having have been fixed. Work started mandatory over time, which was a bonus because we were looking for extra hours anyways.

That’s when things went downhill. Saturday, we went into work, and they told us that the internet was down here, and to go to our old building. So we drive to the old building which is about 15 minutes away, we get there and our boss tells us the internet is back up, to go back to the new building.

We get to the new building, log into the phones, and start taking calls. We’re there for less than an hour when my supervisor tells me that the manager needs to see me. I walked in there, and our assistant manager is in there, and he says we’re waiting on the manager.

Our manager finally comes in, and they’ve got this almost smug look on their faces, and I have NO clue what they are about to tell me. My manager says to me, we had to fire Jimbo, but I wanted to let you know that this doesn’t affect your job in anyway.

I couldn’t freaking believe it. So now, I’m short one income, and I’ve got no clue how I’m going to make my bills. So I came into work on Monday, and asked for a raise. I figured they would turn me down (and they did), so my next step was to ask for more overtime. I’m officially going to work 12 hour days, 5 days a week.

Hopefully I won’t have to do that for too long, just until Jimbo finds a new job. He’s got a couple of interviews already lined up (thanks to my brother in law). I probably won’t be blogging much the next few months, but you can always email and send me comments

EDIT: 08/08/08 Jimbo got a job! It’s only 10 hours a week, but it pays 15 bucks an hour, and there is room for him to get more hours, and bring in his own clients. He’s basically doing home networks, setting up routers and basic pc maintenance. I’ll still be doing over time til he gets at least 20… but at least it didn’t take him several months like it did last time!
