ARGH

Why is my financial life so riddled with difficulties lately?! I just tried to use my debit card at the grocery store, and found out that my card doesn't work. So, I called the bank, and they said they'd turned it off on the 12th, because I disputed a charge. I'm not sure why they did that, because the charge itself wasn't unauthorized. In fact, it was scheduled to be refunded, but I got an e-mail from that company about a week ago, saying that the outfit which handles their credit card transactions wasn't honoring their refund requests. So, the company advised us to dispute the charge.

Anyway, the lady I originally reported the disputed charge to didn't tell me that they were going to turn off my card, and whoever actually turned off the card didn't order me a new one! And of course, it takes 5-7 business days for a new one to get here, and they can't send it any faster. Which, of course, means that it won't be here by Friday morning.

So, instead of having my trusty Visa debit to use while I'm down at Stanford this weekend, I am going to have to either carry an assload of cash the whole time, or write checks all over town. I am SO ANNOYED. What an incredible pain in the ass!

Ahem. Now that I've griped about that...

addwag made a post last night that made me wonder: perhaps, since I'm in Eugene and all, I could audit Japanese classes at Uni. :) I would love to keep studying it, and I'm already forgetting material because I currently have nowhere to use it, except for the occasional meet with Kemma. Maybe I should look into it next term, assuming there aren't too many outrageous fees involved...

Today was going pretty good, for a while there. I ran a couple errands, and now there's money in my account, and things are looking up. Or at least they were, before the debit card debacle. God, it's amazing how much that completely killed my mood. Grr. Stupid bank!

Tonight, there will be wushu, Angel, and DDS. I'm not sure what I'm going to do for dinner, because I don't have any groceries, and I probably won't have time to go back to the store again with my checkbook today.

Anyway, I'm going to get to sewing now, so I won't trip over my pants at competition. Blah, I need to calm down. :)

I can't think of a quote

So, I'm at the job right now, and things are pretty quiet. I'm not sure if that's good or bad. But, I'm eating some food from Wendy's, so it could be worse.

I have to plug this again, because I'm crazy:

JSO MOVIE NIGHT!
Thurs. Feb 19th, @ 7pm in Willamette 110!

We're showing Ping Pong with subtitles, so I will definitely go for at least part of it. Y'all should come see it, too. :)

Tomorrow is going to be 10000x busy. First, I have an application/interview appointment at Express Personnel, so hopefully something will pan out there. Then, I have to do driver training at 3p, because Club Sports somehow feels it necessary to make me go through *their* driver training before I can drive to Stanford, in spite of the fact that I've already been trained and certified for DDS. Bleh! :p

And of course, there's more wushu training, which I definitely need, although my crane stances were getting better today. And I'm supposed to meet with Kemma, but I may bow out of that. (insert massive feelings of guilt here) Oh, and somewhere during the day, I also have to get groceries, do laundry, and finish my shirt modding.

And there's also Survivor and CSI, and NO shifts at DDS! There's no way I'm working when I have to meet up with the team at 10:30a Friday morning and drive/ride in a big van with 10 other people all day. ;p

I'm soooo tired right now, but I'm less ticked off now about things. So, yay!
