Friday was one of those days where everything went wrong, but it was all my fault and now I'm stuck kicking myself in the ass.
First, I overdrew my checking account by $1.35. I had a few bucks in (things have been tight since I missed a month of work for the Africa class), then these two ATM use fees from almost a month ago (like, the day U2 Chicago tix went on sale) showed up. I guess I never balanced them in b/c I assumed they were deducted at the same time I used the ATM to make the withdrawal. So anyway, I overdrew, which could end up in a $25 penalty, all for $1.35. Then, I went in to work b/c a new computer virus came out this week and half our staff was out with a real virus so the entire campus is pissed that we're so behind. I worked all day and missed a dentist appointment. I called to apologize and reschedule and the dentist even yelled at me for "wasting his time". Then I got my paycheck which was supposed to be a great thing, but it wasn't even enough to pay my rent share, let alone utilities, school books, and FOOD. Today my dad did my taxes and yelled at me b/c apparently my school put my local address (where I live instead of my parent's house which is for now my home/permanent address) on my W2 instead of their address. According to my dad this is a terrible pain in the ass and he says I must've given them the wrong address (nevermind I didn't LIVE here when I filled out tax forms 2 years ago).
Anyway, the point of the story is, this whole weekend I've just felt like a total moron for making such rediculous mistakes. Do you ever just feel awful/stupid like nothing you do is right, even if it's insignificant things that don't really matter in the long run?
I guess the silver lining is that I'm getting more back for taxes than I thought and the overdraw charge hasn't shown up on my account yet so I'll keep my fingers crossed...
