i had a very bad few minutes of shock this morning as, while going down the to-do list and paying various bills (man, i love quicken), i sliced off bits of my available (primary) checking account balance until it was not so very big. and then i thought to myself, “shit! what the hell did i do, that i have so little money left to last me the whole rest of the month?? i’m going to be eating nothing but ramen by the 20th!” and had several minutes of generalized omgwtfbbq angst.
and then i realized that i no longer work for an institution that pays me once monthly, and i get paid in a week. and much relief was had by all (especially the kitties, who worry a lot about where their next meal is coming from).
*phew*
seriously, i know i worked there a long time and all, but of all the vestiges left remaining of that job, you’d think one of the easy ones to shake off would be the paid-monthly thing. my brain is obviously broken.
but: my checking account is not empty, and that is a GOOD thing.
