A bit of an emergency

Blargle Add comments

This one is more personal. In a previous post, I mentioned that I had to get rid of my debit card and cancel my direct deposit due to some unauthorized removal of funds from my account, which I could ill afford. (And which, as a matter of fact, caused my bank account to go into being overdrawn.) That means my employer, which is based in Atlanta, has to mail my check to me. I just checked the mailbox right now and so far no check. I don’t know if the mailman came yet or not — the postal schedule in Central Florida doesn’t seem to exactly operate like clockwork. I may not get my check until Monday. That wouldn’t be such a bad thing if I wasn’t almost out of certain non-essentials like food and gas. So to reiterate, if you have a spare dollar or two just taking up space in your life, I’ll be glad to give it a new home…

(I’m serious. Last night I had to break out the emergency penny fund and go to the drugstore for some, ah, necessities. And wouldn’t you know, I get to the cash register and there’s no one around, so I think “at least I won’t have a long line of people behind me waiting impatiently for me to count out $2.99 cents in pennies,” and then lo and behold, a line of people immediately started forming behind me.)
