So today as I beavered away at my occupation, I heard tell of an Edmonton Twitter users' meetup, or "Tweetup." I asked @mastermaq when it was, and how he heard about it, and he said it was tonight and that he had organized it! After reading about it on the Edmonton Tweetup website, I resolved to attend.
It was good times. Great location (the Billiard Club), great food, great people. Met one individual in particular, by the Twitter name @kwirq, who was VERY fun to talk to. We talked video games, VMs, OSes, sci-fi books, transhumanism, and others. Fascinating. I was glad I attended.
Alas, nature's call waits for no man. I excused myself to pay my bill and visit the little boys' room.
Now, the bill was not extortionate by any stretch, and at any rate I had checked my accounts before leaving home and I was aware of the levels of my finances. "No problem," thought I, "well covered." Not so, said the money machines. "You haven't the funds, you great big loser!" said the text scrolling across the screen "WTF???" said I!
This glorious new iPhone contraption I have has internet access and a decent web browser wherever I go, which I took advantage of to once again consult my accounts. "$9" said they.
OMGWTFBBQ????
As it turns out, my car insurance had come out of my account between me leaving home and paying my bill! On top of this, I had recently bought a pricey birthday present, and I had forgotten to submit my hours to the purse-holders last week. I went from little money to practically none during my brief absence from my home, putting me in quite a spot!
I went pee, as I couldn't face this malarkay on a full whatnot.
