Have you ever felt that it just wasn't your month? Well that's how I feel as of right now. It all started when my mom decided to make me start paying for my car. I've always talked about how 'spoiled' I was growing up because my parents would never let me pay for anything. But I did offer to pay a portion of it last summer when I was working for my aunt. Of course they didn't take the money because they said it was my money to spend. I believed them when they said I don't have to pay for anything. But it's no biggie for me since I get paid pretty well. But after the news of paying for my car, everything went down hill from there.
I got paid on Friday and was excited to see some money. After paying for my car and giving my sister some spending money, I was in need of some cash. What I love about my job is that I get automatic deposit straight into my savings account. Love it! I am so lazy when it comes to banks. I will always put off going to the bank until I really need to go. Anyways, after work, my friend calls me and we were doing what girls love to do...gossip. While I was talking to her, I decided to go to the ATM machine and withdraw some cash for gas and for my sister. I'm such a nice sister, I give my sister money every paycheck for her spending needs. She goes to school full time so she doesn't have time to work. That's how our parents have us do. I was busy gossiping that I didn't realize I withdrew from my checking instead of the savings. I only had 60 some dollars in my checking and the freaking ATM still let me withdraw 200 dollars! I withdrew on Friday and didn't realize the over withdrawl until yesterday! And the overcharges are almost $50! That's $50 down the drain. It just kills me that I have enough money to withdraw $200 and yet I withdrew from the wrong bank account. Lesson learned is never talk on the phone while withdrawing from the ATM, especially if you are gossiping.
But it gets better than that!
Today I was already in a bad mood from yesterday so I was counting the minutes till I got off work. I left work about 2 minutes to 5pm. I was coming up the light when it turned yellow and I went for it. It turned red right when i was half way making my left turn. Oh well. Everyone does it. Well, a cop saw me and decided to stay far behind me watching my every move. And if you know me, I tend to speed to 60mph whatever the speed limit is. Well it was the cop's lucky day to add another tally to his monthly quota. He pulled me over. This is my first time getting pulled over and all I could think of was Friends when Rachael and Ross got pulled over. I wish I pulled a Rachael and flirted with the cop but I was already in a bad mood. I didn't even know what to give him. What a registration even looked like. I know lame. But my dad puts all that good stuff in my car for me. After I handed him the papers, he asked me if I had any weapons in my car. WTF?! If I did have a gun in my car, do you think I would honestly tell you, "yes sir, I have an AK 47 in the back, would you like me to show you how to shoot it??" He wrote me up for running a red light and going over the speed limit of 46mph in a 45mph zone...At least he was nice enough to mark my speeding down to 46? Who gives a fuck. My mom says I have to do traffic school.
I just want this month to get over with. No more partying till I get money. My next two paychecks will probably go towards my car and my ticket. Damn you August! Damn you!!!
