...and I just spend a long lunch catching up with a friend, talking travel and my recent ones and...funny.
And now I miss Kathmandu. And Barcelona. Hmph.
See, Vera? Dress yourself up; you get taken out somewhere fun.

In the good news department, I had an extremely complimentary state-of-the-union meeting yesterday with the company owner and one of my other superiors, and was told that next month the bulk of my pay cut will be repealed.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Yay pay cut partial repealage! Or something!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
IS the WWF funding some sort of Tsunami stopping panda technology?!?!
Hee!
I was offended any time I heard Katrina being compared to 9/11 -- because one was a REGIONAL NATURAL DISASTER. The other was terrible, but really really localized.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Yay, Matt!!!

YAY pay!
So, luckily I have only been leaning on the one CC through this past month. And while it has gone from manageable to maxed out, which is not great, the others are almost paid off. I just set up a payment to pay off one, pay half the remaining balance on another and now I will check on my emergency back-up that I have been using some this past week. If it is manageable, then operation TiVO is on.
It is exciting that theoretically by this time next month, I will only have a balance on one card. The monthly payments I made on the others (I had never used two of them as active cards) will now shift to that one balance and it should be gone within the year - barring more emergencies than the buffer can handle.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Yay, Matt!
