Now I did a job. I got nothing but trouble since I did it, not to mention more than a few unkind words as regard to my character so let me make this abundantly clear. I do the job. And then I get paid.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Thank all the divinities of everyone's choice it's a short week.

Yes indeedy. Mine's supershort, too, since I'm taking Thursday and Friday off for my nephew's graduation.

Is having a graduation on a weekday a regular thing? I seem to recall mine were on a Saturday and a Sunday, and I thought weekend graduations were the norm.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Not sucking so much here. It's sunny and pretty and we're both dressed and have eaten. Big accomplishments. Besides sucky, hidden bank transaction fees, we're doing well.

Aimee, YIKES! We're cat pee-free for now. But only just.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I can't remember what day my graduation was, but I know a bunch of the high schools used the same theater, so some of them must have had weekday graduations.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Have skipped gazillions of posts. Back from our trip to the NYC and environs. Got to go to a gorgeous, intimate wedding in a cool private club (The Lotos Club--Mark Twain was a member!), dinners with several friends and with family, and lots of catch-up. It was a great trip, and after getting up at 4:30 am to catch the plane back, I am wiped. Not, however, too wiped to say Hello, Buffistas!

Ann, that's a ferret.

I remember attending a Friday evening graduation. Not quite a weekend, but inconvenient for anyone trying to attend from out of town.

Our wings are not tired.

It's an ok Tuesday here. Poured rain, which is a good thing. I got no personal issues with the day, but it is still in trouble with me for being unkind to my friends. Back off Tuesday!

Sophia, passing some Credit~ma along to you. I just found out today that ours is much higher than expected. Color me surprised. Whee!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh yeah, I meant to say this -- I think the main thing landlords care about, credit-wise, is do you pay your rent and do you make enough money. I don't think they actually care about when you pay your other bills, unless you are completely out of the realm of responsible bill-payer who sometimes gets in a little trouble.

I am hoping this is the case. I have never been even LATE with my rent my whole life, but I have been late with credit cards and also forgot to pay my car insurance long enough that it got cancelled and I had to have it reinstated. And I have also (for the same reason of stupidity) been late for parking tickets.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

After my landlord made a couple of comments obliquely pointing out (correctly) that I'm in a lower income bracket than most of my neighbors, I made a point of mentioning to the building manager that rent always comes first each month before I even look at other bills.
