Money Matters
Ok… so here is my little rant for the evening. I will give you the punch line… Bank of America stole 5 bucks from me and I’m bummed on the principle of the thing. Ok… so you can stop reading now. Actually. I don’t need to really rant. Damg, I stole my own thunder.
On related matters, IZ’s boss is French. Ok. Let that sink in. Now that it has, I will make the connection for you. Cause it so isn’t obvious. Evidently, the French don’t celebrate Columbus day (and neither does anyone in America except for thieving banks who want your five bucks… ok, so I’m not completely over it!) and therefore IZ’s boss didn’t calculate that the thieving banks of America would be taking Monday off. What does that mean? It means payroll is a day late. Consequently, payday is a day late! This isn’t really a big issue– we have food. There’s tons of toilet paper in the bathroom closet. The creamer in the refrigerator isn’t technically bad for another few days. So, we are covered. But you know, you can add this to the many many reasons NOT to celebrate Columbus day! (He didn’t really discover America, he brought over disease and Alcohol and in the process helped annihilate thousands of REAL Americans… not to mention the ones he actually KILLED.)
Whew.
Ok… so how does this all comes together? You ready? So, because payday moved to Thursday, I took my honorarium check to Bank of America today to cash it, instead of mailing it into my bank. I figured some money was better than no money. Bank of America thought the same thing! They charged me five bucks to cash a check drawn on their bank. (not to be picky: but that so isn’t legal!) Tsk Tsk. Ok, so, five bucks is what… two lattes? But it’s the principle of the thing. Freaks.
I think I feel better. (going back to my Bowie now. . . fall dog bombs the moon…)
