In sincere
need of money
Damn,
I hope I get my paycheck tomorrow. Of course, because I need it
I probably won't see it until Monday, as usual.
You heard that
right. It hasn't been delivered on time for the last two pay cycles,
and I'm starting to getting pissed off about this -- just because
I don't have a bank account and direct deposit yet means I get penalized
by TBS's payroll system and local mailroom. It is to make your head
go boom boom boom.
Now,
I make a decent amount of money. And yes, I'm trying to stick to
a budget and save dosh. However, I'm also trying to get things for
the house that were discarded in Sweden (or have been missing altogether)
-- simple things like dishes (I STILL can't find the fucking lapis
dinner plates at Target. Been to four stores in the area and NONE
of them have a set. Shit), dressers, a place to store the fifteen
million videotapes we own, stuff like that. And they're all one-time
purchases, which means I won't be spending money like this all the
time.
But
they are expensive one-time purchases, which means I'm running
out of cash. If worse comes to worse I can take $50 out on the English
credit card and live on that, but I don't want to if I can
at all avoid it -- one of the few good points about Lyn and I being
apart for so long is so that he can save oodles of money and pay
off the Co-op card completely (which was run up in an attempt to
get Tina her A-levels and slide her into university this year. Is
she in uni this year? Hell, no. Is she going to be in uni this fall.
She damn well better be. Yes, Tina, this is a hint).
Luckily,
I can get along quite happily on peanut butter sandwiches and chicken
breasts, so I haven't been starving or anything. But it would be
nice to, like, actually get paid on payday? Oh,
well. Probably won't do anything but unpack this weekend anyway.
