The Insanity Continues

I have direct deposit and my check is usually available on Thursday (we get paid every Friday). There was one week recently where the deposit hadn't posted until after 6am (it used to be there around 4am). But it's not in my account yet!

When I first checked this morning, my first thought was that I didn't submit my timesheet (we have to manually submit them each Monday). But I did and can even see my check stub so I know how much will be deposited.

Why is my check not in my account!? I have bills that will post within the next few days and I need food!

This has never happened in the six or seven years I've had this account.

Is it possible my bank has decided to stop posting direct deposits a day early?

An update to this post.
( Feel free to skip )

I almost got into a serious accident this morning.

I was in the left lane (I usually drive in the middle/right lane) because I had to get my daughter's Christmas gift out of the Amazon locker near my office. There was a semi in the middle lane and I always do my best to give them a fuck ton of space. As we approached where the road we were on crosses over a tollway, he turned on his left blinker.

I figured he wanted to move over into my lane so he could turn onto the tollway so I started to slow down. Then he started to slow down. So I started to sped up because he obviously wanted me to get in front of him before he moved over.

Only I was wrong. As I approached the cab part, he started to turn. I just barely managed to turn without hitting him or the median or any of the curbs.

Once my heart stopped trying to beat its way out of my chest, I got pissed off. He knew I was behind him because it was after 5 in the morning so it was dark enough for him to see my headlights.

To all my non-American friends: I AM SO FUCKING SORRY! I voted for Clinton, I swear. It leaves me totally confused as to how this poor excuse for a human could have so many people fooled into believing the trash that spews from his mouth. I can only hope that we can annihilate his ass in 2020 with someone who actually cares about others and making the world a better place.

I've been thinking about this post for a while so it is very long. And is actually several posts. I didn't want to spam your inboxes so each "post" is under a cut so you can choose where to start reading.

So, update in this post, sorta.

Today I stopped for gas on my way home and when I got home, I checked my account. And saw $11.57 at QT for my gas along with $10 at Race Track. I don't use Race Track often and definitely didn't use it today.

I called the bank and they said that the charge was done at 6:36 this morning.

When I was at work.

And they swiped a card.

Which makes no sense because I have the card in my possession.

Turns out someone got my card number and created a duplicate card.

This means that an employee at one of the places I've used it recently (since it's new I know approximately when it happened, just not where). So I will now be using cash for all the things I can pay for with cash; like my cable bill, my phone bill and putting gas in my car.

I reconnected with my high school BFF last year and we've texted a bit this past year. She told me this summer that she's divorcing her husband (they've been married for twenty years) and that he was in prison. When I asked why she said it was too long to explain so I let it go.

She texted me today and when I asked about the divorce she told me that it's been postponed while waiting to get her two youngest children back from CPS. When I asked why, she told me they took them because they didn't think she protected them from the sexual abuse they suffered at the hands of their father.

I've met this man. I was at their wedding. I've spent weekends sleeping on their couch. I'm the godmother of their youngest son. I never once thought he would molest all three of his kids (and possibly his grandson who is only a year). I can see him physically abusing his wife and kids (he was emotionally and verbally abusive to my friend and their daughter) but sexual molestation? Nope. Can't see it.

For those who say the wife/mother always knows, I say: no, she doesn't. My friend is a good mother and she totally missed this.

Not sure how the abuse was discovered (not sure I want to know), but I believe her when she says she had no clue.

ETA: Just found out that my friend's daughter turned her husband in because he had started molesting his grandson.

At least I know that he'll suffer in prison once his crime is discovered.

Shortly after I went to bed last night, I was disturbed by the sound of a big truck driving past my apartment. At first I thought it might be a firetruck, they drive through all the time. So I got up and looked out the window. And was totally surprised by what I saw. It wasn't a firetruck, it was a delivery truck. So, I'm just wondering: since when does Fed Ex deliver at 10 o'clock at night!? I mean really? And then when he left, he sped off. Wish I could have gotten his number so I could call and complain.
