This is not the update I'd hope to write (or) Why Banks Suck

General
So...
Yes I did finish Undertale. And yes, it was amazing.
And, someday I might write up my final review of it.
But, that will need to wait, for now.
This update was one I had struggled with and went back and forth on weather to even bring it up. But after much self consideration, I reason it best to relate certain experiences from the last two weeks.
A little over ten days ago, my checking account, that I have had since I was young, was hacked and plundered of a considerable amount of personal funds.
For those that do not know, I work in the banking industry, and for years considered myself to be as careful as one can be in terms of her dealings with funds. I routinely work with individuals whom have had their accounts violated, and in the back of your mind you always feel:
"Well, that can never happen to ME"
But we find in life, sometimes you can do everything correct, and yet still be screwed over without your knowledge.
I won't go into too many details about what happened, or the aftermath. But needless to say, it has been an extremely frustrating last two weeks.
You don't realize how much you take something for granted, until it is no longer there. Bills have to be re-linked, automated payments, money transfers, account numbers updated, debit card sent outs, Checks re done (yes, because some of us old girls do still use checks)
To those I consider my close friends, I know I have been somewhat distant recently, and have not said anything. And, after a bit of soul searching feel those out there deserve a better answer then just "I've been busy"
That said. to anyone else out there with your own banking stories, please feel free to share.
the best way to get rid of pain after all is to spread it around!

Too many to count at this point X3 Had a bank try to charge me an overdraft, when I had deposited money the day before and got a receipt. Called them on it and demanded to see the manager, and got it reversed. Still, was a very annoying thing to have to do to go in person and bring down the angry wrath. Banks sucketh.
