Money…
28 July 2006 — butchjaxIt’s funny how the tides change. We’ve been struggling to get our deposit out of our old management company for the past two weeks. It’s been around 57 days since we turned in our keys, well past the 30 day requirement. And the past 2 weeks they’ve given us the same bs answer of the check being in the mail, basically, when it isn’t.
So today, I gave them a paper saying they have 10 days to get us our deposit our we’re suing them. Needless to say, that made the office person pretty angry. She said if we’re going to pull this crap on them, then I need to move my vehicle, which I already had made arrangements to take care of. However, it wasn’t abandoned because we left it in the care of our old neighbors. And, since it wasn’t an issue of contention, then it’s pointless. But, I put it on craigs list and had it sold within minutes. We just got back from selling it. He seemed to be a very nice guy. And we had enough money to buy cigarettes and food for the weekend (though we had plenty of food, that was never a problem).
Earlier today I cashed in our pennies. I counted out $2 worth, and guessed it to be around $5. So I went to the bank, and lo a behold, it was exactly $5! How neat!
And then, tonight, I check my aol mail. My mom sent me $50 to pay for the greatly discounted copy of microsoft office through school, though that’s only $30. My mom just can’t help but to give money. I wish I could just give it back…some day I’ll be able to pay her back and then some. Though I’m sure she’ll still give me money. lol, some habits die hard.
So, knowing my bank is in the negative, I checked it to see if I could transfer the money from paypal or not. And suprise suprise, I got paid! This is a full day earlier than the earliest I expected it. Woohoo! Well, when it rains it pours, and this was probably all just backed up, waiting for me to let it just enter my life. All I could do was laugh.
So hooray! Now it’s just a matter of getting financial aid soon.

LOL… having cash in hand is always fun… :-). And yet, we all try to say that money doesn’t buy happiness. What a contradiction and I’m all into that same bullshit, LOL.
