I hate the bank I hate the bank I hate the bank...
I don't understand what's going on in this world, when a bank that makes billions of dollars in profits every year can't reimburse an actor, who makes about $10 000 a year, the $2000 that was stolen from her account.
What's the big fucking deal? To them, it's a measly 2 grand. To me, it's 1/5 of my yearly income. It's the difference between being able to pay rent and being fucked up the ass. It's the difference between having a semi-decent low-income existance and getting fucked up the ass, screwed into the dust, while dancing bank trolls gleefully sing the Happy Bank Song about a girl who gets FUCKED UP THE ASS!
The CEO of the Bank of Montreal could probably hand me $2000 cash OUT OF HIS POCKET right now. He probably blows that much on one business lunch. Me, it means I can't go see a dance show I really want to see. I can't pay rent in Toronto for a couple months. I can't throw $1000 at my friend's theatre company so that we can tour on the Fringe this summer.
Well, I guess that's not quite true. I'll hopefully find a way to do all these things. I am lucky to have a roof over my head, rent-free for now, to have a well paying job that will help me get through this, and to have parents who will take pity on me and maybe even help me out a little. A little more. Than they already have, which is a fuck of a lot. I am wayyyy better off than a lot of people in this world. I count my blessings every day. Or at least I try to.
But that doesn't change the fact that I GOT SCREWED OUT OF TWO GRAND and the fucking bank is trying to tell me I'm somehow responsible. And I guess they're right. I didn't protect my PIN well enough. Lesson learned. Thank fucking Christ they didn't take more. But TWO GRAND. I could have gone to Europe for two months. I could have gone to Thailand for two YEARS. I could have put it into my RRSP. I could have started a fund for a down payment on my first house. I could have blown it all on beer, which is probably what I would have done. But still, it was MY MONEY!!!
I HATE THE BANK AND THEIR FUCKING BANK TROLLS, THANKS FOR FUCKING ME UP THE ASS, YOU FUCKING FUCKERS!! FUCK!!!

That Bites.
Banks are EVIL. And inefficient, and we could go on about this all day.
Thanks for stopping by the old El Jay! Some of the stuff is protected, so if you'd like to become a regular reader, you should grab an account so I can add you. (Though you have to log in for all that, blah blah.) You should be able to aggregate it to wherever once you're on my 'friends' list (of the dorky nomenclature.)
Anyway. Hope you get the finances resolved soon!
