Anthrocon? I wish.

...I don't think we're going to Anthrocon.
If what's been dumped in my checking account is my paycheck, I only have $180. This can't be right. I worked two weeks prior to this week's payday. I should have two weeks pay. This is only ONE week's pay.
On top of that, I have to put something on my credit card. I'm over my limit by $100 and that's so not even cool it's not funny. I wasn't able to pay anything on it because of the move and the fact that, well, I didn't HAVE the money to pay on it. Which is my fault, but food comes before paying things I can pay off later.
But, even still, I'd like to start getting it back into the positive.
I'll have to call the bank and see what I can do. I'm hating getting hit with the overlimit fees. If those would go away, I could get it down under it's $500 limit no problem.
I just feel...kind of defeated. I'm now really pissed because I can't afford AC in any feasible way. I have to send out badges and hope to god they get to people before the convention. I have to miss out on seeing friends and all that fun shit.
Plus? I already got those days off work. So I only have two full workdays next week.
Lovely.
Overall, I want to cry. I busted my ass to make sure things would transition smoothly once we got back here. That I wouldn't be out of work for long and I cound start fixing up my finances. But that obviously didn't happen. I was out of work for over a month (including the move), all of my funds were tapped getting here, including our tax refund things. Which could've paid off most of my credit card.
None of my shit is selling and I just want to throw my hands up and say 'fuck it all' because I'm obviously moving backwards instead of making ANY headway.
