All I Wanted Was Some Sushi

I went out to lunch today for work to get some sushi at this sushi bar right around the corner. I had a weird feeling to check the amount in my bank account before I went in... and I did... and I got robbed. AGAIN. (Yes, this happened to me last week... please click here) Of all my money. Thanks, JERKS.

B of A's "stop check fraud" program doesn't seem to be working as well as I thought/as well as they said it would. However, maybe they really were serious when they said I needed to close my current account and open up a new one...

In conclusion, I wasn't able to get my sushi (I did have my mom's VISA, but I decided not to use it since it's technically not my money). All I wanted was their Kiss of Fire roll... spicy tuna and cucumber and onion wrapped in seaweed and rice, topped off with tuna and this super-hot sauce... all for $8.00. I just wanted some sushi... !!DIE, BANK ROBBER, DIE!!

(I get a little mean when you get in the way of my SUSHI)

Deter, Defect, Defend: Don't Steal My Money HO

I logged onto my Bank of America online account today and noticed there was a money through the form of an e-check taken out that I did NOT authorize, which resulted in my account being over-drawn. And B of A pillages your accounts with fees. I was not a happy camper. I called my bank, and was like, what is up, I did not approve this, and then I realized... I've been STOLEN FROM.

I am a victim of identity theft. (Take this quiz to see if you're safe from ID theft). I now have to close my account and open a new one.

Dear Whomever Stole My Money,

I want to kick you in the shins.

Sincerely,

Tracie

On top of everything else, I have been drinking Diet Coke every day this week (I worked 8-5p Monday at my receptionist job, then 6p-3a at Victoria's Secret, then got up and went to work again at 8a... Diet Coke was the only way to survive), and I haven't had one yet, and I am sluggish and tired and starting to get a headache and incensed/irked that my body has developed a dependency on Diet Coke so quickly.

BTW, I am overly-thrilled that Comfort went home last night on SYTYCD.

One Word: Divine.

Time for a Diet Coke run before I pass out from exhaustion.

Because Harvard Business Review Said So...

Apparently splurging on over-priced items is good for your health in the long run, according to the Harvard Business Review. Read the article on Wall Street Journal Online.

All self-imposed limits have just gone out the window.

Take that, World! Science is on MY side.

The ONLY thing that gets me through the day without:

1. Clicking the "Purchase" icon on (example) the Victoria's Secret Shopping Check-out Page and

2.Shopping in general after work

is---cue drumroll---chanting the following Miracle-(dubbed miracle by me because it WORKS) Mantra:

"My credit score/financial future/growing savings account is MORE IMPORTANT than this _____________ (insert potential merchandise item)."



I can say no.

I CAN say no.

I can SAY no.

I can say NO.
