The $400 Paypal Ooooops! I'm at the ATM today trying to withdraw a measly $50. I'm a little low on cash and I'm hungry and cranky after being in this meeting today that stretched 10 minutes worth of information over 3 fucking hours! The screen on the ATM tells me that my 'request has exceeded my available funds' Now, I was not a business major and math skills aren't exactly where I shine, but I am pretty sure I have at least $400 in my checking account. Hmmm, my mood does not improve as I mentally cancel my trip to the Taco Bell drive thru. No beefy stuffed burrito combo for me. When I get home, I get online to check my balance at www.bankofamerica.com and sho 'nuf, they are right. I have $10.31 in my account. 'WTF!' I loudly exclaim to the cat. Now, I love eBay and I love paying for eBay stuff with Paypal. I'm a digital boy and I try to do as much business on-line as possible. But according to my bank statement, Paypal has sent $443 to a seller that I owed $22. 'WTF!' I exclaim again to the cat. I get on the phone to Paypal customer service and it turns out that the error is all mine and basically there is not a damn thing they can do about it. I am advised to 'try and work it out with the seller' Meanwhile, I have $10 in my bank account. Have I mentioned I am sorta unemployed and a kept-boy? I guess I am going to have to tell Ray, but I haven't exactly told him yet about how I forgot to press ENTER when I was e-filing my federal income tax. Why do I feel exactly like Lucy trying to hid something from Ricky? "Jooouuuteennn, you've got sum, 'splain' to do!"
