Frustrated and Broke

This weekend has been a nightmare, a disaster in all manner of the word, in fact the week prior to the weekend was crap too. Wednesday was ok, I like my wednesday's, I have the day off and for this I won't be penalised when the school has strike action this coming wednesday 24th September.

However towards the end of the week, the thursday evening, I received a phone call from a credit card company informing me that someone had tried to use my credit card online to buy music downloads from iTunes. This annoyed me because less than a month ago some nasty piece of work hacked into my now closed MSN account and stole all my contacts and used them to send Trojan Horses to all my friends and contacts. The only way I found out was due to four of the sent emails bouncing back to me by the Postmaster failed system. I then had to spend an hour and a half emailing all my friends and contacts with my new email address to inform them to delete the old email address that I had and any that came into their email pigeon holes.

Then I discovered that someone had also used my ebay account to sell some fraudulent sunglasses. Because I randomly received ebay emails, and a lot of those were spoof, I also ignored the real ones from Ebay. It was only when I went into the Messages section of Ebay that I discovered my site was temporarily closed due to the fraudulent sunglasses breaching all kinds of not copyright but trademark laws. So after many emails to and fro between myself and ebay, they apologised, lifted the ban on me and I reset my password.

So to have the credit card used against me and then having the card cancelled by the bank I'm not having such a brilliant month am I?

Then to cap it all off, the first two weeks after returning to work after the school holidays the wages department have no trace of my timesheet and then when they do its sent in late and so I get no wages for two weeks, and incur a £28 bank charge for being overdrawn when the payments for the internet come out. I only work 12 hours a week as it is and then when I do get my wages the sods are still taking tax off me when they shouldnt. So after finally sorting it all out I get two weeks back pay which they nobble £32 in tax off me which they still shouldnt be doing as I'm still below the tax code. THEN, this week, I hotfoot it to the bank knowing I have several bills to pay and still no ruddy money in.

It does make me feel like crawling back under the duvet and not coming out again for some time.

I seriously need a career change!

I also need some good luck and copious amounts of money and then I reckon I'd have cracked it. But in the meantime, I'll keep writing the stories, keep putting up my comments and poetry and look out of the window for that silver lining that doesn't indicate its going to rain again next week.
