My Economic Crisis... Federal Bailout, Please!


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.

YAY! It's always exciting when you finally have an income coming your way! :) I went through a month w/o a job and it was terrible. I barely had gas money, so I know exactly how you feel!
