Karen: Did they like the skeptic piece?
me: haven't heard back from them yet, usually takes the fellow a little while to respond to even non-3000-word e-mails
Karen: YOU"RE OVERDRAWN AGAIN. WTF?
me: ?
Karen: Sign on and look at your f-ing account.
me: I didn't do anything
Karen: Well, look at it.
me: it says $37
Karen: Because it overdrew my account $50. Look at it! You put in 500 and withdrew more than that!
Karen: For god's sakes.
me: I didn't, I withdrew 445
me: and had a few dollars left
Karen: Then Bushwick Country Club, Antonia's Deli, ATM withdrawal and another. Just look at withdrawal record!
Karen: McDonald's
me: but there was money in there when I withdrew from bank and that was last time I used it
me: a couple of these didn't post to my account until much later
Karen: You aren't doing the math, you aren't checking each morning to see what's pending.
me: I went to McDonald's well before yesterday, for instance
Karen: Yes, and you were overdrawn. I'm not going to argue with you, just look at the posting record there. You only had X amount of money and you spent more than X.
me: I'm sorry, I didn't know what was pending
Karen: That's why I've asked you 100? times to look at the whole thing every f-ing morning before you leave the house!
me: I was already away from the house when dad made the deposit and stopped at bank to withdraw rent money. I have really tried to be very careful not to over-withdraw lately, but I am sorry that I did so this time.
Karen: Love you.
Karen: You just need to get cracking on making some money!
me: love you too, I'm sorry
me: working on that now
Karen: I just want you to be happy/self-sufficient.
me: me too
