Two Big Rants-- money related

1. Why do I get taxed twice on the same money? I have had mutual funds my entire life, for college, but I haven't used any of them...except last semester I took some money out of one, but just a little bit. Now I pay taxes on the dividends I earn on those funds, okay, I'm fine with that, but if I transfer those funds to my checking or savings accound, I also owe taxes on that amount of money, not just the interest that money earns me. It feels like the federal government likes fucking it's citizens up the ass twice. Once is enough. (Wait...what did I say?) Seriously, I have no problem with taxes, but when I pay taxes twice on the same money, I get pissed.

2. Banks not cashing checks right away. Is this even necessary? Why can't checks be cashed IMMEDIATELY? It's all electronic, they have no excuse. They're hanging on to some rule that existed before electronic banking, way back in the 40s or something, when checks had to be mailed to be cashed. But in today's day and age, it is NOT necessary. Cash them right away you old skool bastards. Don't hold on to my money. Geez...

I did sign up for direct deposit recently at work, but that takes 2-3 pay periods to process...again why? It's electronic! It should be instantaneous!

216-416-0033-- What the fuck?

Somebody called my cell phone from the number 216-416-0033 (call it, you get static) and left a vulgar message. I did a search, and it happened to somebody else, same exact number. But unfortunately, that link doesn't help much. Any ideas? Update: 7/26/2005 Reader mail! i know this is random, but i am not a member of your blog, so i am sending you a myspace message. i googled the relay number that prank called me this evening, the same one you got a call from in april. that relay number is a number you can find online somewhere, and use your computer to make relay calls. usually you have to have a certain phone to use relay, but this company lets you do it through a computer, thus allowing non-deaf people to make relay calls to other non-deaf people. i found out that it was my boyfriend's little brother calling me, so chances are someone you know found the number and used their computer to call you. so its not some crazy person calling you. just thought i would let you know, th...
