Boss: Stay after a bit Monday and we'll get your review in.

Me: Wow, um, okay. I should be done by 9, so I'll ping you if I haven't heard from you by then?

Boss: I usually get in about 11.

Me: Wow. I'll be really tired, but I appreciate that you are trying to fit me in so I'm willing to try.

No response since Friday night. So ... I'll be here past noon it seems *headdesk*

It's 20 something degrees out and brightly sunny.

Despite being adrift from any discernable cycle, I am up and have done things what needed doing. Also despite new video games, BID. I got out of bed last night at almost exactly 1900 and watched some videos with bugman, and ended up with an unplanned visit near 0100. Took a nap at about 2 that didn't even make it to 3, and ended up playing with and in Oblivion (got some patches and mods ...) until we declared breakfast at, um 4-something, and shortly after I was back to video games ... and on like that until eleven or so when I finally tore myself away from RTS crack Warzone.

Cleaned out and closed out sturge unit. Got oil changed (grabbed lunch at Taco Hell during) and after a brief internal struggle, drove up to B&N and got the giftcards for the relatives. Along with cancelling Sidekick and Audible, and an order from BestBuy that should be here any second (...) that effectively wraps up my Yule* shopping and reduces monthly expenses by more than 125 bucks (!).

Next post is about games, and then maybe a mail of happy to customer service. If I don't pass out first. Water seems advised

Well, I need to stop beating myself up quite as much over being broke, as I have finally actually looked at what's going on. Between the glasses and the OLPC, plus a few silly clothing purchases, I've spent 1K on additional purchases the last two quarters. And, same two quarters I've picked up new bills, particularly the utilities, at about 200-300 a month. And my income is unchanged.

So, yes I am spending too much, and it's irritating, but there is no mystery, and no great catastrophe to be all larpy about. Both of those major purchases (glasses, olpc) were planned and put off variously for years.

Still need to move forward on cost cutting, of course, but I don't need to be quite so upset at myself.
