Really?!

Sometimes, upward mobility isn't all it's cracked up to be.

When, for instance, the lawn crew begins work at 7:45 right under your bedroom windowI was going to say "being rich" as opposed to "upwardly mobile", but I suspect the Cs don't regard themselves as such ( Read more... )

money, house-sitting, bitch please, ego

I'm broke, i live in a low income bldg. and the assholes with leaf blowers start under my window that early too.

*clinks glass with yours* Oh good, misery has company. (Well, not good-good, but it helps lend perspective....)

I have automatic payments on a couple of small things but typically am running to make a payment on the last day of the grace period! I think for most of us, that's more the norm.

I'd like to be able to do auto-payments; a lot of times, they offer incentives with sign-up...I just don't quite dare. The one time I tried, it ended badly.

You have to give the C's credit where credit is due, though. They've both worked very hard all of their adult lives at very stressful jobs- no one gave them what they have. They are also generous to a fault when it comes to others.

Oh, hey, I'm certainly not trying to bad-mouth them---they've been very good to me, and I totally agree that what they have is the result of hard work and lots of brainpower. I just tend to feel dumb and discouraged when I look at what my life has to offer.

If I didn't have to get up at 6:30 every freakin morning to go to work, I wouldn't care if a German Polka band was playing under my bedroom window! I'd have the knowledge that I could always nap later! THAT would be happiness!

Happily, I've gotten my sleep schedule back on track and away from afternoon naps. (It feels really odd to do lights out at midnight.) Nine is the latest I've slept in a week. Usually I've been up before 8.

I still like a good nap on Saturday or Sunday afternoons- sort of a refuel for the week ahead!!!
