I was afraid that my taking a couple of days off in the last pay period because I was ill would cut into my check, but it they just credited me the days from my sick leave this year, and I got full pay. HOORAY!!

Extra hooray because I made a sanity purchase today. *sigh* OK, I totally broke down (not like a mental break down, just a budget one) and had to get a new music player for the bus rides and stuff. I have been going CRAZY on the bus with no music. I mean, REALLY nuts. (KILL KILL KILL) So I went to the Rite Aid around the corner from my office because they sell some fairly decent electronics stuff... and I was *going* to get a cd player and then maybe in a few months find an MP3 player... and they had an all in one for 30$ more than I was *planning* to spend, but YAY... I have both.. and it will play MP3 discs.

HOORAY FOR MODERN TECHNOLOGY!!

And... Thomas gave me a new cd. I thought he was just letting me listen to it, but NO... it is for me to KEEP.. YAY... NEW MUSIC.. it is a band called Hat Makes The Man. They sound a lot like Uncle Bonzai (for those of you that remember *them*).

Color me THRILLED.
Current Music: Hat Makes the Man - Shout It Out.

WOW was it ever worth the money. I came home and popped in one of my mp3 discs and *low* it played. No fuss, no muss.

*this* was a GREAT investment. HOORAY!!!

ok, plus the fact that I am a bit of a technophile... I love my technology... mmmmmmmm gadgets.... mmmmmm...

it's been a long long time since I got a new gadget. and I had my last cd player for about 6 years before it finally gave up the ghost.

So I figured it was worth splurging. I have to be careful with my pennies from here on out this month, but I am glad I got this.

Somehow in college I managed to live on 300/month and be satisfied somewhat. Now my monthly bills are 700 and I still want more! Im ashamed!

In college, you knew that when you got out, had a good job and such, you would be able to get all of the things you wanted then, and were thus content to wait for that time.

It is easier to be content when you know the timeline on your brighter horizon. ;)
