Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

It's just so much easier to keep my spending down when I use actual cash. I have $20 left in my wallet, so that's how much I have to spend for the rest of the month.

I'd do it this way if I had easier access to ATM machines affiliated with my bank (and therefore fee-free). As is, I'd have to carry more cash than I'm comfortable having on my person, given where I live and especially where I work, just to have enough to get me between ATM visits.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I need to go out and get lunch, since I forgot to bring mine.

BUT IT IS SO COLD AND RAINY. And I am so small and wimpy.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

Punishingly Intricate

It's sunny and not too terribly cold here! (Not to brag.) I was just talking about how depressed I got the first year we had real SF winter when I lived out there and not drought winter. It rained every freaking day. That was way worse then Mid-Atlantic winter where at least we have some bright, if cold, days mixed in.

I ated too much lunch I think. Or maybe it was the green tea chai. Delicious but too filling. blergh.

Coding and Sleeping

Ours haven't been done yet. It's a pool of a set percentage for a small number of people, so to give someone a bit extra you have to take away from somebody else. I expect the pool to be about 3% though.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

We do 1 - 3 in university land. 2 % is the norm and 3% is extra special. Mostly, you need to move to a new position to get an increase that is larger than that.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Something near 30% of my income comes bi-weekly but the rest of it varies wildly. I didn't get anything else for the first half of Jan but I should have 3-4 additional checks in the next couple of weeks. My budgeting is like my bowling approach. If I overanalyze it I get all screwed up.

ION, Tommy Tune is in the building today. I haven't seen him yet though.
