Recently quit my latest job and didn't receive any compensation, most likely since it was during a training period. Spent over $200 on Uber the first week, too, because some of the places were too far/difficult for me to drive. In the meantime, I slowly but surely started driving myself through the freeways, so now I can drive pretty much anywhere, near and far. So, at least there's that. I was just annoyed at first that I got zero compensation and no reimbursement for gas or transportation. But I'm over it now. If anything, I find it funny how it all turned out. Last week, I drove over 45 minutes to their office just to drop off the company iPad, and I didn't even ask about compensation or reimbursement; I just didn't think it was worth mentioning/negotiating since I was still technically a trainee, and I quit before I even finished, so... might've been awkward to ask.
Also, I didn't see/couldn't find/didn't receive the replacement for my expiring debit card in the mail these past few weeks, so yesterday I called for another replacement. The lady told me the card number wouldn't change unless there were any fraudulent transactions, but today I noticed my current card isn't being accepted for one of my mobile payments. So I called again earlier today, and a different lady told me the card number has, in fact, changed since my current one has been marked as Lost (instead of Damaged). Makes sense for security purposes, of course, since someone might find the "lost" one. Just a little nerve-wracking that I don't have a debit card to use until I get my new one (which hopefully should come in later this week or early next week). Plus, it's my first time losing a card and getting a card declined/cancelled, and it's a real headache that I hope I never have to deal with again...
Though I do occasionally spend comfortably, I tend to be very careful with my money, so all of this kind of shook me and gave me a serious wake-up call. Just shows that these things can happen, but ideally shouldn't.
