Sunny Breaks

Man I can’t catch a break. The other day I went to the bank to shut down one of the accounts. I did and it all went relatively okay. Later in the day the guy rang to say that he’d made a mistake and that could I come back down to pay a forty dollar fee they’d neglected to charge me. I said sure, thinking about karma. Also he said he’d give me a gift. The gift was a collapsible beach bucket.

When I think about karma and try and make a deal with it, I think that something good should happen to me right away. It should but it doesn’t.

Today I was informed that with another bank, another bank account, they’d accidentally paid me too much overtime, it was my workplace telling me this but it was a fault f the bank’s. 250 bucks too much. They wanted me to pay the cash back. I did. I then realised I had to go to that same bank branch to pay some money into a business’ acct because I want some carbonated mineral water. Carbonated mineral water is hard to come by here (_{they don’t like the bubbles}) and there appears to be only one supplier. The supplier’s website, for some mysterious reason, rejects my korean credit card.

I normally buy mineral water from the chang-dong e-mart but some weeks they don’t have any. Some weeks they don’t have any breakfast cereal. In short, the chang-dong e-mart needs to be nuked from orbit, it’s the only way to be sure.

At the local branch they didn’t realise I was the person who’d just voluntarily rectified their $250 mistake. I’d written down one digit wrong in the acct I wanted to deposit into and for this they treated me like a regular arsehole.

I am looking forward to getting my boxes of mineral water, 6-8 weeks from now.
