Black October
Sept. 31: So my wife moves out. No fighting, no cheating. Needs to be on her own. Ok.
Oct. 1: I go to deposit my pay checkand find out that I can't get any cash because I'm in the negative, despite the fact that I had put a $100 in the day before...fine, not get mad...my own fault, bad at math.
Oct. 2: Evidently my bank doesn't process checks on Saturday...boo...no money...it's okay, the apartment allows me to pay rent on the 4th as long as I get it in before 9am. No problemo
Oct. 3: Well it is Sunday, day of rest, no money. Go to bar, friend is managing, comps all my drinks. He's a great fucking guy...I love him.
Oct. 4 Morning, write check for rent, knowing I have no money in my account...I pray that they don't process the checks before my check clears...which will be today right!?
Oct. 4 Evening: go to store, surely check has cleared, I can buy food...mmm, food. Do shopping, pick out what I need, put in basket...fortunately I decide to check my balance before getting in line for the cashier, really no need, I know it's cleared...just a formality, want to be sure. *sigh* WRONG, no money. Have ten spot in wallet, buy some essentials at least. Call mom, tell her wife moved out, not happy times.
Oct. 5 Check did clear, checked this morning and I have money now. w00t! Then I realize that there won't be any hockey...October hasn't started off real well.
