Sometimes I feel like something is wrong/the same goes for you

So it turns out I'm an identity thief. On Wednesday, I tried to use my debit card at a restaurant and it was declined. It was weird, because I knew I had money in my account, and could think of nothing that might have triggered it. I used it at lunch on Thursday and it worked, and then at dinner that night it was rejected again. So I went to Ikea today to get a bed (I still haven't gotten one, I've been sleeping on the couch all this time). I figured my debit card wouldn't go through, and I realized I didn't have enough left on my credit card to pay for everything. So I called my bank. I pulled out my card to be ready to read off the numbers. Just as a guy answers, I notice that my card says "ROBERT J SLOAN" on it. It turns out that when I went to this bar to see this bluegrass band Leadfoot, our cards got switched. That was on the 14th. So I've been using this guy's card for 8 days. The reason why I didn't realize it was that it is also a LaSalle debit card - it looks exactly the same. So I called up the bank, explained it, am getting a new card, all the charges are being transferred to my card, everything's good. I told the woman to keep both charges from the Abbey (where our cards got switched) on my card. It's the least I can do for the guy.

In other news, I'm dating somebody. Her name's Laura, although hereafter she may be referred to as "Some Broad" (the same Some Broad as in this post). It's going well. If you'd like to see a picture in which we both look terrible, there's this one from when we went to Dave and Buster's with a bunch of people. I won her the bear.

In other other news, I pretty much hate my job. Maybe not all of the time, but at least some of the time.
