Trying not to let it go so long between posts, weeks instead of months is better, though, I guess ( Read more... )

And, as usual, it's all about money. ( feel free to skip the whining. I have PHEELS about money. )

it giveth and it taketh away. Well, actually nothing's been taken away, but it tried! I didn't get hacked again, but there seems to have been a decimal error in a transaction between my student loan company and the credit union I do business with. The student loan company tried to withdraw $8317.00 from my checking account. It was supposed to be $ ( Read more... )

but I'm hanging in there the best I can. It's not so much that there's more to do than I can handle, it's just all new and I have no basis for comparison, yet, as to whether I'm doing enough or too little on a daily basis. I'm not sure when I'm having a sit down with the boss, again, to go over what I've been learning and how well it matches his ( Read more... )

All I think about anymore is money. And I hate it. I don't want to have to think about it. But I think I have to, so I do. Spreadsheets make me cry. Easy enough to make, I just don't like what they say. I'll survive the next five months, but barely. I've started applying for other jobs, again. I need to work closer to home and get cheaper health ( Read more... )

I got my standard 5% annual pay raise yesterday. It’s a pretty decent percentage, but it irritates me that even with the raise, I’m not moving up in percentile within my paygrade for the company. They keep raising the lower end of the range and every time I get a raise, I’m actually getting closer and closer to the starting salary of someone ( Read more... )

I am obsessing over money. It’s got me grinding my teeth, again. Not as bad as I was when I first went off the Celexa, but it’s bugging me that I’m back to that. And I know the cause. And despite the fact I’ve taken steps to resolve the financial problems, I’m having a hard time reconciling the positive actions with the negative way I feel ( Read more... )

We got a bonus! We got a bonus ( Read more... )

Called the cable company today and had my service downgraded to basic cable, plus the cable modem. I was worried I'd lose all my favorite channels, up in the 40s and 50s. But no, turns out basic cable goes up to channel 75. So, I still get Discovery Channel, TLC, the History Channel and, most of all, the SciFi channel. A channel that even a year ( Read more... )

they sure aren't giving me warm fuzzies. I thought I hadn't gotten my Federal refund, yet, and was really counting on the money. Turns out, I got it back in May and didn't even notice. Mainly because I gave up balancing my checkbook back about, oh, February. So, I haven't even been looking at my bank statements, which would have at least told me I' ( Read more... )
