Early day!
Fun day today. I was out by 10:30 after going to Command Indoc. Its always nice when a real early day rolls around. Now I'm sitting around the house in a pair of sweats and watching TV for a change. Well, I was watching TV anyway. Now I'm screwing off on the computer some more. Ahh addictions are a bitch.
Oh well, at least I'll have cash again in a couple of days. Its funny, I've spent the last 2 weeks thinking the reason I was broke was because I blew through more money than I could remember on St Paddie's Day. I've been having to buy food off of my credit card while I waited for this next pay day to roll through or my income tax check to come in. It really sucked. I haven't had to live like that in years. Anyway, I got a chance to look at my earnings statement yesterday and it turns out the reason I have no money isn't because I'm an idiot when I'm drunk (though I am
) its because the Navy pay system fucked up pretty bad.
It goes like this. I was recieving housing allowance for Jacksonville. It was like $800 a month or so. I move to San Diego in December and my allowance should have gone up to around $1100 a month. Well the middle of March rolls around and the Navy realizes that I don't live in Jacksonville anymore, but doesn't realize that I DO live in San Diego. So what did they do? Instead of giving me a $350 a month or so raise, they nailed me for over $500 bucks and took my paycheck, along with saying that I still owe them another $500ish.
Of course, they didn't bother to TELL anyone this. They just direct deposited a whopping $300 into my account on Mar 15th instead of the $1100 or so it should have been. And I was wondering why I couldn't eat? Boy was I surprised when the pay stubs were finally published
Here I was thinking that I had blown like half a grand getting drunk.
Here's the great part though
BACKPAY
On the 1st or 2nd I am getting a check for normal pay, the new BAH for San Diego, the money they took out of my check for the 15th, and all of the money I should have recieved for BAH and BAS in Dec, Jan, Feb, and Mar. All in all I'll be getting close to three grand that check and my income tax return ought to hit the bank at just about the same time
Sometimes life sucks. It really seems to when you are living off leftover pizza the shit you can scrounge out of an empty pantry. But damn its nice when it gets better.
