Bitter Sweet Tidbits...

It’s sad when you are attacked by your own policy. In this case, I made a “no-tolerance” policy regarding possible theft. If a fact arises that even suggests that something might have been stolen, we do a complete audit of every expense from either (a) the last two years or (b) since the last audit (which ever is shorter). In this case, even though I had an perfectly good explanation that everyone accepted, I felt that we needed to do the audit anyway (to remove all doubt from anyone’s mind). So, after two grueling 12 hour days, we’re done with the audit and while I feel better it was a ton of very mind numbing work.

I haven’t gotten my Tears For Fears single yet but it’s now available to listen to online (click here: http://www.arista.com), which by the way was quite a slap in the face. On top of that, my first impression, it isn’t that great. Currently I’ve decided to listen to it 800+ times in the hope that, if nothing else, my brain will give up and like it even if it isn’t good.

I, after catching a rerun of Oprah at 1am, decided to meet with a Financial Planner. I found out that, at my current rate of savings, I should be a millionaire by age 45. That made me happy, even though everyone who is older than me has told me that the chances of me keeping up my current rate of savings is unlikely, but it’s still a nice thought (and I don’t necessarily agree)

Someone I like got fired today and where I can’t necessarily say she didn’t deserve it I also can’t necessarily say she did. I’m sure she’ll land on her feet but it’s never good to see someone lose their job. It also shows you a lot about your fellow co-workers, you’d be amazed how callously people react to someone’s entire life being turned upside down. It really is enough to make you sick.

Oh, and I now own a LCD monitor for better or worse...

The End.
