the internet is a good thing

since yesterday was payday for me and we didn't have any food in the house worthy of katie's taste buds she asked me if she could borrow my debit card to get something to take to work to eat. well, being the idiot that she is, instead of just *USING* the debit card and *NOT* incurring any additional atm fees she went to an atm to withdraw money (DUMBASS!!!!) i say it this way because there isn't a local branch of my credit union anywhere close by. the closest one is an hour away so any time she goes to an atm to withdraw money it charges almost $5 in fees from all the different banks it has to go through which is just flat out retarded when she could've just *USED* the friggin' card!!

so anywho, she went to an atm and it ate my card. did you hear me? IT ATE MY CARD!!!! and i don't have any checks for this account or any other card or a local branch that i can go to to get money out of or anything!!! so yesterday was payday and bills were due and SURPRISE!!! i didn't have any way of paying them!

but then i had an a-hah! moment and realized that the bills that were due were all accessible through the internet (cell phone bill, car insurance bill, utility bill) so i went online, created profiles for all of these places, uploaded my financial information (checking account number, routing number ~ scary stuff!!!) and OoOoOoOoooh!! i paid the bills :~)

so then i called the credit union, canceled my old debit card and ordered a new one which should be arriving in the next 7-10 business days. meantime i've got to figure a way to get katie's paycheck away from her before she spends it all so that we can still have money for gas and groceries for the next week since i don't have access to my "hidden" money anymore. (FUCKING HELL MAN!!!!!)

oh and btw, this is day 8 of "the migraine that wouldn't end"...
