Chase VISA sucks.

Ok so yeah, as my blog has reflected late last year I got behind on a lot of my bills. Well I finally started a slow recovery when my roommate moved in mid-November. After the holidays I was in good shape and everything appeared to be caught up. I was even able to buy gifts for the children in my family. Well then I received my January Chase statement and my minimum payment was about 8 times what it normally is. I always pay online so I still have my statements and can view the stubs. I knew I'd paid on time because I'd had trouble getting everything paid for 2-3 months and was trying my best to avoid more late fees. So I looked at my statements and realized that I'd paid $1 short on my December statement. I know this was my bonehead mistake, but thought wow it was a $1 seemed hardly fair $1 should end up costing me $74. So I called them up and they wouldn't waive it referencing the "cardmember" agreement. I work in customer service I waive fees and charges every day but she wouldn't budge. After working 10 hours I wasn't ready to start a fight with the poor slug who answered the phones. So I figured I'd bitch about it on here.

I feel like MIchael Douglas in that movie Falling Down. Was that the one where he just fucking loses it and takes a baseball bat to the Fast Food restaurant when they wouldn't serve him breakfast five minutes after the cut off time? This has put me in a bad mood because I've already sent my normal minimum payment this month on time and can't afford to come up with the difference they're asking for until I get paid again. Which means I'll probably have to pay another $74 on top of the already exorbitent (sp?) $74 charges. I think I feel steam coming out of my ears. Just another example of corporate America sticking it to the honest workin man.

Takin' what they givin', cuz I'm working for a livin'....

PS: I'll give your blog kudos if you can name the song and artist of my ending lyrics.

Can you pay my bills, pay my telephone bills.....

Ok, so yeah. My internet service has been disconnected because my broke ass didn't keep up on the payment. Then I let it sit off too long and they disconnected completely so it'll cost me an extra $100 to get it reconnected on top of the $150 or so that I already owe. I'm determined to avoid asking my parents for money. Damn pride. So, I'll probably be back in action after 12/1 since my roommate finally moved in which should save me around $300/mo at least. Maybe....

I don't think you do, sooo, u and me r thru......

It's swell with two people.

Ok, so I haven't ranted yet how tough it is being single and gay in this shit town. For once in my life getting laid isn't a problem but I'm over it already. That didn't take long. I've been single since June and have probably turned down or short changed a few guys that expressed interest almost instantly after my break up because I wasn't wanting to be tied down again so soon. So that period ( I said period) didn't last long. So now I'm in that lonely phase that always happens after a break up. I hang with friends as much as I can but it's in the QC and I'm pretty much broke barely paying the bills that area always piling up. Does this sound like a country song yet? No my dog isn't dead and I have no words of inspiration or whatever. So today I was chatting and agreed to meet this guy at Starbucks. He was sort of a pushy type wanted to meet or me to call him. These types annoy the hell out of me, but I'm desperate enough to take a chance that I might actually like him. First impressions aren't everything. Apparently he was astounded that I could carry on a conversation beyond "how big is it?" So just had to meet me. Anywayz. I'll post a blog on how it goes.
