These Are the Days of My Life

My frustration with the world is causing me to write this today.
Let me start at the beginning...
Lat night I went online to check my bank account and was shocked to find that it was about hundreds of dollars less than I thought it would or should be. After taking a deep breath I realized that I just spent that much in the past month. I noticed that my bank (Arizona Federal Credit Union...yup I'm calling them out!!) had charged me $90 for excessive withdrawals from my savings. WHAT IS THAT!!?!??? They are charging me for spending my own money? I have overdraft protection on my checking, so if it is at a zero balance, it will pull from my savings. So I just figured I was covered. I called the bank this morning and asked them to either put the money back in my account or I was going to close my account. I understand that I signed an agreement acknowledging that this could happen...but I signed it 8 years ago. I understand more than anyone to "read what you sign", that's what I deal with everyday of my life at work. But this contract was signed almost a decade ago, and it isn't renewed yearly so the information can be forgotten over the years. I have been a good customer and member to the credit union. Not too mention that the whole family belongs to this bank. We have had credit cards and a car loan through this bank...all on time and paid off! So she agreed to credit only 1/2 of the charge back. I will be closing my account on Monday.
I went to get my hair cut this morning from my pal Carl. He is amazing. My hair looks great and feels so much better. On the way home I decided that I would stop by Target to buy Will & Grace. I get all the way home, 45 minutes mind you, and open the package. I open up the box and come to find that all of the disc have been stolen. Upon further investigating, I realize that some one bought the movie...took it home....took the discs out...repackage it...and even scotch taped the security sticker back on the outside of the movie. I am pissed!! Why does this crap always happen to me. People are evil. I realize that the Target on Baseline and McClintock is kinda ghetto, but this is ridiculous. I am taking the movie back Monday...on my way to the bank.

It's all just a sign of the times we are living.
