2008/6/29 I got Stolen $1500Never thought I would be one of those victims that got stolen money on their credit card... but you never know.. things happen.. shit happens..
Unfortunatelly, it happened to me.. and what i learn.. never say never..
so basically, I have two credit cards, one debit card... I use my citi student credit card in the US as it has a pretty ok reward system... I use my capital one card for international purchase because it doesn't charge any international fee and such... so once I got back to the US, I barely use my capital one card, except once or twice at subway when i forgot my citi card..
Anyway, last week, i got a phone call from capital one telling me that i spent over my account limit ($1500 account limit) with a total balance of $2200 or so.. i know i have about $725 ish on that card but $2200, are u f**king kidding me... and the capital one rep from India told em that they would do me a favor by not charging me any overcharge fee is i pay them right at that moment.. i thought it was a fraud.. but when i check online... yep.. someone has stolen $1500 from my account.. and the funniest thing of all, i still have teh card with me..
From the transaction details, the $1500 were mainly spend at Murphey Gas Station in NC and SC... states where I have never even step a foot on... I was able to google info on these gas stations and call each of them up to inform them about my incidence. All of said that they only accept credit card physically not over the phone.. so my only guess would be someone who has access to the credit card machine that could punch in the number would be the one that stole money from account.. which i guess might be one of the employees.. regardless.. this incidence showed me that i really need to be very careful with my credit history and constantly checking them....
the credit card company said that would do an investigation and pay the money back to my account.. hopefully soon.. because i am darn poor...
p.s Everyone, make sure you check your accounts frequently, at least twice a week or so...
2008/6/14 Future is evil! 我不想长大。。 我到底要什么啦???It sux to grow up。。
i really don't want to grow up。。
真不知道以后要做啥。。不是说找不到工作。。 而是怕工作。。 我现在的暑假工作在别人眼中因该是算白领阶级的。。毕业的时候也肯定会找到差不多的工作。。 可是我怕的是每天朝8晚5的 一尘不变的生活。。 天天坐在办公室, 屁股都会做烂掉。。 可是如果不做这种工作, 要做啥啦。。 我读的是商科。。 也不可能去跑去做医生什么的。。 而且医生那些工作都是要有规律的。。 我看我其实是讨厌规律而不是讨厌工作。。
可是世界上也没几个工作可以让人别玩边赚钱。。 有的话, 大家也是抢破头的。。。
梦想就是走过世界。。 冒险。。 和没有规律的生活。。 可是在我们这个世界上, 没规律的生活就等于没有stability。。 那就代表没有稳定的收入。。 没收入的话啥都不能做。。 还真的是 钱不是最重要的。。 没钱根本就什么都不做。。 人就是一直被套在这样的圈圈里。。 跳不出去。。 也许有人说可以活的随心所欲。。 可是我觉得根本不肯能, 我们不可能不管父母, 自己一个人跑出去过着有梦想可是有一餐每一餐的日子。。
有时候我觉得我不会知足。。 想7想8的。。 唉。。 咋办啦。。 我到底要什么啦? 2008/6/7 Week 1 Down!Week 1 of work is all done and completed! It definitely went super fast.
The week started on Tuesday with a orientation from 8 to 5. I live about 12 miles away from my work, but with traffic, it took me almost an hour to get there. As a result, I retreated to public transportation - NJ transit and Lightrail.. still take about 40 minutes, but at least I could chill and nap a bit.
The official first day of work - meeting boss and everything was on Wednesday. My boss is very cool. One thing really interesting is the department I am in is about 80% female.. haha.. kind of interesting huh?.. the first day went pretty smooth... about 8 to 5 too..
My boss only works 4 days a week with Wednesday off, but this week she took Thursday off instead. I didn't get to ask her about my working time, so I figure going in early would be nice so I arrive around 7:45am.. most people didn't show up till 8:30 or so... At first I was thinking, damn, I am not going to get any work.. but then.. of course.. the jynx worked and I got quite a bit of work.. I am a bit of perfectionist so it took me a while to do a really pretty org chart, lining up all the little lines and stuff... anyway.. I didnt go home till 6:30pm..
There are also tons of meetings at my work.. and they take over half of the day.. especially on Friday.. I was going from meeting to meeting and had very limited time to do work all along while getting more work... also.. since interns are not suppose to work more than 8 hours a day, I was only allow to fill 32 hours on my time sheet although I worked about another 5 hours more... so i guess.. I am getting a bit ripped there... sigh.. However.. I actually do very much enjoy how fast I was put on track and start working.. i feel like there's not enough time to do all the work..
Friday night few interns got together and went out to a bar to chill.. had conversation about women and men and who should stay home... another girl and I were saying that we want to work in the finance industry because we love money and want to earn tons of them.. and we wouldn't mind if our future husband stay home while we work... the guys think its ridiculous and us the ladies should not work because we love money and they also disagree about the husband stay at home thing... oh well.. money is not everything but without money, there won't be anything....
i believe that i should make as much money while i am still young.. then retire at a young age and travel around... ideally.. 2008/6/2 Kids are too honest... sometimes it hurt...Kids are often consider innocent and honest. The things they makes people laugh, but sometimes things they said might hurt... I have this far distance cousin, about 4.5 years old.. she was kind of special since she was born on my 16th bday.. so we share the same bday but 16 years apart.. (I guess people always feel closer to those that share similarities: when we go to a strange place, we look for people who looks like us, speaks the same language as us, or have the same interest). A Anyway.. this little cousin is consider quite like a "little adult". She is certainly smart. She knows when to say the right thing and when not to say the right thing. Most people think she's quite adorable for her age. We sort of interacted a few times when she was younger, about 2 to 3 ish, and obviously she does not remember. She was quite sweet back then. Ok, going back to the titled topic, "Kids are too honest, sometimes it hurt". So, I saw again today (few hours ago), and greet her in something like, "oh, you are so pretty".. and quietly said "its a joke" to my other older closer, first cousin. I am almost sure she did not hear the second part. After that, my cousin (the first cousin one) asked if she thinks she's pretty (the first cousin), she said yes. My first cousin repeated the same question again asking the little one about herself, she also said yes. Of course you could guess that she asked the same question, but this time for me, and the little one replied "she's really ugly". (right at the moment, i felt speechless, sort of shattered into pieces *_*.. hehe.. and don't really know what to respond). So there goes my title. Bottom line, I used to think it is quite stupid to be hurt by little kids' random words, but now that i am in the situation myself, i could definitely say that kids little sayings hurts more.. sigh.. Ulala.. |
