Credit Card...
Yesterday, I worked, then hung out with TJ for a few hours. 'Bout it.
Today was one of the last days of my ENGL class. So glad. That class is a freakin' joke. It'll be my last English course I need to take...and I'm rather happy about that fact.
The mail came today. There was even mail for me in it! FOR ME? OH JOY!
Except for the fact that it was a bill for my credit card... I opened it up to expect my $39 bill for what I had bought in the last month. However, the balance was nowhere near $39.
I owed $176.
So, where did this big leap take place? Well, the previous month, I sent out a check for $100. Somewhere in the process of mailing, the letter en route for 1st Financial Bank got forwarded to the infinite void where all lost mail goes (not to be confused with the infinite void where lost things that Ashley touched last go...), thus I got had that carried over to this statement.
But wait, a brilliant mathematician such as myself can figure out that $100+$39 =/= $176. So, where is that difference made up? Why, they gave me a $37 Late Fee, of course!
Bastards...
So, most of the afternoon that wasn't spent with company, was spent developing ulcers and aneurysms calling Customer Service lines, finding out where my check was, driving to Meijer hoping for reimbursement for my $100 money order, only to find that I needed to mail MoneyGram for that, with a $12 Processing Fee, and trying to get my credit card company to waive the Late Fee, only to have to pay everything up until today in full.
I need a smoke...
