Coin Op-The Comic

The series of events that follow can be summed up in one sentence, "I'm really stupid about decisions regarding money." You officially don't have to read anymore, the rest of this will back that one sentence up. You can leave and know the whole purpose of this rant and not have to bore yourself with details.

I got behind in bills and thought I could get a title loan and pay the money back quickly enough. Apparently I am an idiot cause I had my truck towed Monday night. I owe $1,200.00 on a loan now and I have about 12 days to get this money. The plan was simple....get my W2 from my job, get my taxes filed (with H&R Block), and my sister would help me on the rest of the money. If all was right in the world, I could have had 90% of this done today.

Of course it's never that simple.

My employer has the W2 forms in the building where I work (which I didn't have access to), and my boss was not there when I went in today. I would have gone in, but a small problem with my set of keys to the building were left in the truck that got towed Monday night. Okay, find truck and see if they can get me those keys.

After 3 stops I get someone who said they do have my truck...well at least they WILL have my truck that afternoon. It hasn't arrived at its destination, so I have no keys, no W2, no truck still, and trying everything in my power to get the money to pay them. Of course, since I'm using my sister's car, I'm essentially her little slave from the time she gets off work until she says she's done for the day. So all that I have done so far, is nothing. And I get to try this again in the morning. There will be more to this as I'm assuming I will get money back on my taxes as well as loans from friends who have offered to help me.

(crossing fingers) it looks like it is going to get better...but I'm praying that it doesn't get worse.
Either way...there will be more later as it happens...
