My Incompetence Is Infuriating

Aren't bank employees supposed to be able to balance their own fucking checkbooks? Yes?
No.
Not me, who forgot to record the PayPal purchase of two class reunion tickets, made a ten-dollar math error, forgot to record my $30 NSF (non-sufficient funds) fee resulting from said math error, and still had to adjust my checkbook for over $20 I couldn't find. Not me, who is now over $50 in the hole—and that's after transferring funds from my savings.
I'm OK for now; we just can't mail off our car payment just yet. It's not due for another week, though, so we're OK.

Does your bank offer any overdraft protection credit cards or will they let you set up your savings account for it? I highly recommend it. It's much better to pay a $6 overdraft protection fee than $30 - $50 in "oh shit" money to every damned company that feels put out by your first grade arithmetic.
