I screwed up quite completely last week and paid the light-and-water bill twice, which meant I overdrew my checking account by $300. And even after I’ve rounded up every dollar I could from everywhere I could and poured it into the hole, I’m still $90 overdrawn until Thursday, which is when I get the paycheck that is supposed to pay the mortgage and if I do, it leaves me nothing for gas or food until mid-month. I suppose the mortgage will have to get paid in two chunks this month, which will make the mortgageholder unhappy, but can’t be helped if we’re to have anything to eat.
In other news, L continues to be “trained” on her new job, although she says the person training her has no clue about how to train, and his two modes of instruction seem to be “the beatings will continue until morale improves” alternated with “look how much faster I can do this than you can.” She’s trying to suffer through until he takes himself off to be an Enterprise tech and she can try learning the missing bits from the techs nearby.
And because of outages on my team, and because I’m either lead or backup for about four functions, I’m trying to be two different people through at least Wednesday, and doing that is No Fun.
About the only bright spot on the scene is a date with Paradox coming up on . . . Saturday, I think it is. Or maybe Friday. I can’t remember at the moment.
