17 minutes until my shift ends

Another blessedly uneventful week. My mind is still in a state of unrest.

Things I'm trying to keep track of:

• Why did Fulton bank close my account? And where did the money go? Will I get it back? Will I get it back in two weeks? I called twice and they couldn't tell me anything. I really hope it wasn't fraud.
• Oh, man! I wish I had done the requirement for the bank bonus before Fulton closed my account. 
• Where is my stimulus check?
• I have to go to the laundromat tomorrow. I kind of don't want to. I hope I don't forget the bedding and towels. 
• I ate way too many sweets this week and today.
• Why doesn't anybody want to be my friend?
• Ugh, what am I going to do with this hair! This is the third time I'm trying to tackle it. Then I remember how much I hate doing hair. It's so dry and ratty now. 

Had a 1-on-1 with my manager today. It was less than 10 minutes. This time I did not voice any concerns because I knew nothing would change. When she told me I'd be taking on a new project in mid-June, I was actually elated. This meant all the negative feedback I thought we were being told about our work probably hadn't reached her. This meant I was not near the chopping block as my mind tried to fool me into thinking. This meant too, it'll be easy to be agreeable because I hope to be starting my new job by then. 

Finally I was able to complete my onboarding tasks for New Job. I changed my preferred name to something short and easy. I hope it doesn't mess up my direct deposits. One thing I like about Call Center 2 (my current job) is that I can add up to 6 banks on my direct deposit. New Job only allows 3. I actively use 4 slots now for my regular financial transactions - main checking account, savings account for investments, regular savings, and the debit card I use for my monthly allowance of $400.  And I have been using the other 2 slots to meet direct deposit requirement for my bank bonuses. 

On Direct Deposits

When completing onboarding forms for New Job I thought I'd only be able to add 1 direct deposit to payroll until I actually started. That was not the case, so for no reason at all, I quickly decided to just do 2 direct deposits - main checking and savings account for investments. I figured I could move money to regular savings and my monthly allowance debit card from checking. It's an extra step on my end, but hopefully it'll still be easy to visualize and track. I left one spot open for future bank bonuses. 

After I submitted everything though, I realized I'd rather add the $209/pp for regular savings to the direct deposit going to the savings account for investment vs main checking. I'd rather just have savings start in the right place. I prefer not to see money that's allocated for savings in my checking account at all. There is some psychology to savings after all, at least for me anyway.  I set a notification on Calendar, so I hope I remember what I meant and execute it successfully. 

While the reason for hurrying is unknown, I will give myself some credit for my thought process. I was initially concerned with reaching the limit of 6 withdrawals per month because I already have 3 regular withdrawals coming out of the savings account I use for investments, but I think it'll be fine given my historical financial patterns. I don't typically make unscheduled investments.

What else? 

Well my shift is over. I had hoped to do some stretches to transition into the weekend and put my mind at ease, but I don't want to. Yoga and stretching end up activating me and I'm in quite a languid state of mind right now. 

Oh, how could I forget!?! I got another $75 bank bonus today for referring a friend to Varo! Free money Wins!!
