Blargh!!

Ok, as much as I'd love to say 'I'm going to work at Lowes till all my bills are paid!' that's not going to happen. Why? Example...My schedule currently: 6 to close Wed-Fri. Off Sat (omg!), 4:30-6:30 Sun (2 hours?!), 6 to close Mon-Wed and Friday. Which means I have one day real day off and one evening off in a 9 day stretch. WTF?!?!

In order to save my sanity (and not feel like a total loser) I'm dropping the date-based bill payoffs and am now just going to have certain bills paid before I leave. I realised that my bill schedule was unrealistic since 1) I'm going to D*con this year, 2) Something always freaking happens when I get spare cash, 3) I didn't plan in money for b-days, anni's, and other gift-giving holidays. So I'm just going to tell myself 'Yah, you could buy that manga, or you could pay off *blank* and stop working so freaking much'.

The LIST!!
Capital One $1250.00
Household Bank $660.00
Roper Hospital $700.00
Firestone Tires $300.00
plus various interest $3000.00

I'll have an extra $200 a month going to bills along with the slight overpayment I'm doing now. I figure in about a year I'll be done. Probably sooner since I have a b-day and xmas coming up. I usually get cash instead of presents (woot!) so that'll help too.

Speaking of D*con, I've decided to concentrate on one costume instead of 3 as I had planned. Jessica is out the door. I couldn't pull her off right now anyway. Pepper is on the back burner since I can't find the fabric I want. This leaves Birdgirl. I already have the fabric for her suit. I'm just wondering how I should do the leggings. They don't make yellow in my size, plus I have those freaky red boots to worry about. Should I just make some leggings and sew the boots right onto them? Or should I make *shudder* stirrup pants and make the boots seperate? *ponder*

*struck dumb*

I'm doing the deposits right now, and I've come across a check for $20,000 that a customer has written because 'he's pretty sure he'll be buying enough furniture to cover it'. Wtf man. Wtf.

Btw, 20k isn't unusual around here. We do very high end homes and businesses. Like Bruce Willis (no joke). However, they usually don't give us checks for stuff they haven't even picked out yet. *shakes head* And I can't afford a lamp, even with my discount. Sheesh!
