Lick my dirty hole Wells Fargo!

That 34 dollar overdraft fee that Wells Fargo applied to my account last week was the final nail in the coffin. I’ve been actively researching checking accounts at various banks although I think Washington Mutual looks like it will win my business hands down. Wells Fargo is the shit stain on the panties of life. Seriously.

I’ve been with WaMu in the past and extremely enjoyed their service. Even the ways their employees handle customer complaints were downright phenom. I just can’t wait to walk into the Wells Fargo branch (the one over by my office) to tell them they can shove it. I’m sure they can care less about my account(s) (read: business), but I’m completely fed up with all of their shit. It’s like an abusive relationship where I keep getting smacked in the eye because I don’t know any better. Well you know what Wells Fargo, I’m turning the tables on your ass! Call me Tina and consider yourself Ike, you twats!

Unfortunately, I’m waiting on the company I currently work for to go belly up (or me leaving – which ever is first) before I close out my WF accounts. My employer filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy on December 29th, 2006. And it’s been downhill since then. Publishers and clients are backing off on business with us. Stock is being held. Payments are on hold. Lawsuits are being filed. Hell, even our paychecks are being tinkered with. It’s just all too much to even think about.

I am truly hoping I get laid off sometime in March. That would be totally great. I could file for unemployment. I could have a month or so to pack for the big move. I could help Woods finish up Casa Norte. And I could spend my afternoons cruising certain parking lots and bookstores. Now that is how I want to remember my last days living in San Diego. Call it a fantasy if you want, but at the rate my company is going, it could become reality soon enough.

Altho I do have to admit that I am a bit stressed right now. I discussed Euro travel plans with Woods last night. Planning Coachella is going to be a piece of cake compared to planning the European getaway. The thought currently is to hit up Europe for 4 weeks post Coachella – which would be fine. But even if I still had a job by then, I would have to quit by the time Coach rolled around – which would mean no unemployment coming in. I’m crossing my fingers for a massive lay off.

I guess I feel I have way too much to do with no time to do it in. I’m sure I will have all of my belongings in boxes by the end of April, but I’m scared that my finances won’t be in the light I want them to be. Add that to opening a new checking and savings account, and closing two old ones I’ve had since the early 90’s makes me a bit jumbled.

I suppose all of these obstacles will be worth it in the end. By the time I get back from Europe I will be completely refreshed ready to start a new chapter in my life. A new city, a new outlook, a new job – a new bank! This has been a long time coming so it makes the transition all that sweeter. Along with me flipping the bird to those fuckers Wells Fargo – that will be the icing on the cake.
