JSYK - Just So You Know
I realized lately that my posts have been like forwards that you get from friends: a lil spastic, indicating that they are alive but containing no real information. So let me fill you in JSYK.
I wish I had a dictaphone cuz I get so in detail with telling what happened and giving background info I am discouraged to start raconteering (wc) before I even make a keystroke.
Ok so let's talk about my Friday that actually began on a Thursday.
But I've been sleep deprived from the Monday cuz I had a big project to hand in, so I was working on it the entire weekend. Did I mention that I almost busted my ass in Rock Creek Park collecting data from a river for this project?
I almost went home soaked when I tried to lever down the embankment to the river by manoevering from a tree branch. A hard smack when I landed on my ass then it was full speed down the lil hill straight to wards the river. I stuck my arm out and CLAWED the earth for dear life...it looked like a scene out of Cliffhanger. Afterwards my shoulder felt like it was almost yanked out of its socket. My ass was sore after, so were my shoulder muscles and my fingernails were packed with earth.
SMH I was lucky I escaped it was like the water was coming up to meet me.
Whew.
Ok have I mentioned that I am an insomniac and a procrastinator.....so I start my big project at 9PM Thurday night when it is due Friday at 9AM. Not only is it a written project but I have to do a Power Point Presentation as well. This is separate from what was due on Monday. Of course I procrastinated and this class isn't even in my field I mean yeah it has bio in its title but it was way more informatics than Bio....BIO informatics.
So being that it was not in my field I should have started earlier since I am iffy with algorithms, theories of Parsimony, and the short string theory and the list goes on. This may seem elementary to someone involved in programming and C++ and java and all that bullshit I don't care about ,,,,but it isn't simple to me.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
So basically Sun into Mon I din sleep, Wed night I din sleep (well about 4 hrs) cuz I was horny, then no sleep Thurs info Fri.
I took a break at 7AM to shower get ready...left home at 8:15AM went to the ilab printed the written portion and tweaked my slide presentation.
Presentation at 9:30AM and got great feedback from my professor and TA... speaking about that they wanted me to email the PPS file cuz I guess it was that good.
Toot toot....(that's me beeping my own horn LoL)
So I finish that go return the texts from that class that I kept all semester.
I go to the library expecting a fine cuz I think they were due back in like March......NO CHARGE.
I was like OKAY!!!.
Then I go check my professor to see how I did in my Biostatistics final.
Then I go home and drop off my fucking laptop because it is brick heavy.
I take the mail inside and see the gass bill is $700 thereabouts.
WTF
I jump on the net and check the payments and what they charged for.....
The actual gas usage is $77
but there is a $600+ addition.
So I run back up to campus print all the zero balances to make my point and fly down to their offices to have it out with somebody... anybody cuz I 'aint payin this shit.
They say its billing from Feb - Jun 2005 before we even moved in.
I ask why is it being billed now...no answer
Ok not my prob I need to call the land lord who is this dizzy chick an African woman that gives credence to the theory of the weak ditzy female...or maybe she's just pretending to be dumb like the President on 24.
Either way I don't trust her.
So I decide I will go to the movies with a friend of mine to go see the movie Stick it. I appreciate movies forwhat they are. I anticipate its gonna be a campy white america pic like Bring it On or Mean Girls and I'm all for the silliness.
Steups too often the time posted online is wrong so the movie is actually 2 hours from the arrival time. Fine we go see Lucky Number Sle7in....a good revenge movie if I ever saw one....Hmmmmmm I'm usually good at associations...the only thing I can compare is the last scene in Godfather I and III wherhe he kills his brother in law that abuses his sis, the guy from the rival fam that set him up and the ppl that put a hit out on his bro, all in one swoop etc, or the movie CONfidence,,,, or this other scam movie; I forgot the name but it had the burly guy from Gangs of New York in it.
I like it - nice interracial love scene and didn't Josh Hartnett look ridiculous walkin around in that flowered too small towel.
I like the old flick Kingpin (from Spiderman) gangster feel the movie had. All around really smart dialogue... I appreciated that and I love Bruce Willis even though this is the 2nd time he had a foppish (wc) gayish hairstyle. (I think the other time was him as an assassin in the movie The Jackal with Richard Gere which was a remake of the original The day of the Jackal)
Of course I went to see Stick it after Lucky #... I paid my damn money. It wasn't as silly as I expected and that was it's downfall.
It attempted to be pseudo-deep and that was a waste of time. Punch in a lot of gymnastics routines, girl power high-fives, rival teams, snide remarks, teenage lust, misplaced angst and it would have been 10X better. But hey I din expect much so I wasn't super disappointed.
So I get out of the movies about 5PM and have a message from BOA to call their Debit card Dept...something about an unauthorized purchase that they need me to verify....and I am thankful I have less $$ in my account now than I did last yr or else...the amount wouldn't seem that crucial for them to call me.
So I call and the menu sounds like BOA but mistrusting me grills the associate to ensure its really BOA and not some spam message tricking me into verifying my info so they can then REally steal my $$$.
Thank god these ppl are trained to be patient lol
Me: ...."but how can I be SURE this is a rep from BOA and not a scammer? Let's try this again....when you look on the screen what does it day my DOB is? Hmmmmm so where did I open my account????"
LOL I am too much.
So eventually we get down to business and I get the facts:
Amt: $141
Location: Mississipi
Time: 1:10PM
Method: It was SWIPED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so that means they have a fake card with my number.
Action: Hold on my account and I am unable to use my current card. One will be delivered in 5 days.
This is funny this is the one day I haven't used my card all day and as usual I have no cash cuz I always use my card.
Ooops no party money
Oooops no water, electricity or gas money.
Yes I wait till a week before the due date...you have to ration your funds instead of payin all your bills at a certain time or else you will be broke all the time. (Don't judge it works for me)
They then reassure me that I can go get a temporary card if I go to a BOA.
So I get there before they close and the day is saved.
I go back to school chat with my professor we (4ppl) are supposed to go to a Mycology excursion at Penn State over the weekend. He says we will have to sleep over at his house.
It is 6PM he wants to leave campus for home at 6:30PM. I am tired I haven't slept since 9AM Thursday morn, had my bank account hijacked and watched 2 movies back to back....my head hurts an I wanna crash...I don't feel like being social, polite and effervescent and I don't wanna end up seeming rude so I make up an excuse and decline.
It would have really been nice but hopefully God will smile on me again.
So I get home about 7PM on Friday and crash until 9AM Saturday morning.
I missed umpteen calls to go get drunk for Cinco de Mayo. Damn Damn Damn.
and that's JSYK Part I ; )
