During my entire time of unemployment, I have managed to keep my checking account stable and relatively full.
But in a VERY poorly timed moment of weakness (rent, car payment, and other bills just officially deducted from my account), I allowed myself to enter a shopping mall... and the rest is history. I almost overdrew my account.
In an even worse timed moment of weakness, I opted to take 66 home instead of 495, and walked right into a 2nd offense HOV violation ticket. The cop was just chillin' there at the exit, waiting for us poor unsuspecting fools. Ugh. I call it entrapment.
So now, I have a really expensive ticket, an almost-empty account, and only 2 paychecks coming my way before a five week period of no income (before my new job kicks in). I am now faced with returning all the delightful things I just bought (most of which WERE necessary, I might add.)
I am in the depths of despair.
