Some BS. in Since OD is shutting down....

Alright so today I decided to call Curves and let them know I'm cancelling my membership. The lady I talked to said that even though I'm giving them notice, because I'm canceling early, they were still going to hit my bank account for another 3 months and charge me $80 each time! Which would be $30 for the membership and the rest would be penalty fees! Okay yeah fuck to the no! So I called my bank and stopped payment on it! Sure it's still costing me $30 to stop payment but it's a one time fee and is way cheaper in the end! I am just so shocked that this place thought I was just gonna go along with this shit! I don't recall ever signing something stating that this would happen if I cancelled (early or not) and I even asked if there would be a penalty if I decided it wasn't for me and they said no. I feel like I was lied to and what really pisses me off is when I signed up, the lady told me that she couldn't even show me how to do the machines unless I gave her payment upfront but when I first called and talked to someone they said my first week would be free! I had to pay even before I got to work out which is fucking bullshit!

So yeah, after this fiasco, I don't see myself signing up for a gym membership EVER again unless it's a month to month type of deal. If I would have known that they were still going to charge me a for a full year if I decided to cancel, I would have never in a million years signed up for this shit! It still pisses me off that I had to give them a check upfront even after I was told the first week would be free. I knew right then I should have said something but I didn't because I figured I would like it and I ended up hating it. It wasn't challenging at all, I barely would break a fucking sweat and the machines would make my back hurt. I just think it's bullshit I had to pay ahead of time before getting a trial run to make sure it would be a good fit for me. I'm annoyed at myself for not speaking up and telling this lady I was supposed to get the first week free. I know next time I will make sure I get to do shit at least a couple of times before I sign up to pay for it!

It's just sad that this is how the world works. I just hardly ever feel like things are fair to me or in my favor. I'm just glad my bank is able to stop payment on it so I don't continue paying for something I don't use. I think it's bullshit that I wasn't told when I signed up that they would charge me a bunch of money for 3 months because I canceled early, even though I've told them the machines made my back hurt.

Anyways, I worked until 10pm last night and I have to go in soon and work until 7pm tonight. I'm working for some boy who is a total fucking creeper but I need the money. I am trying to hard to get my bank account back to where it was and I want some money for the weekend. I was told I should be off by 7pm and I hope so because I want to get a couple of tattoos done and hopefully see my niece before she goes to bed. I'm definitely getting my hours in this week and that makes me happy. I'm late paying one of my credit cards because I forgot that it was due yesterday and still owe on my cable bill. Money, it's just a never ending cycle. Earning and spending.

Alright so I need to finish getting ready, I'll write more later.
