"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Isn't that a great feeling?!

It is. It was also great calling up the credit union for the balance and finding out it was less than I expected (I'd been paying a bit more than the designated monthly payment since the beginning).

I've got about 10K in other debt to pay off, and then I am debt-free! This just freed up a little more money towards that cause.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Good for you, Frank!!

I am on hold with the bank, waiting to see if I can get some Turkish lira. Good times.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Right on, Frank!!!

ION, I'm loopy on migraine meds, and here is one example of how it's manifesting: I edited the phrase "activities of daily living" as "activities of Faily" living.

And then I started wondering: what would an activity of faily living look like? Using your computer's CD tray as a drink holder? (FAIL.)

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yay for paying off debt!

I am not a positive thinker.

I prefer pools to lakes, and I don't swim in the ocean.

I am also not a positive thinker.

I am not a positive thinker.

I am only in the sense that I'm positive bad things are going to happen.

I think I embraced that old saw "an optimist can never be pleasantly surprised".

Punishingly Intricate

Woohoo paying off debt! My brother is selling a nearly new car that he offered me for a good price but not one I could take on w/out a loan. I declined and am hoping my car will last another couple of years (at least until after the freaking condo sells). I'm totally spoiled for not having car payments!

I'm not exactly a negative thinker but I'm a worrier (who tries to be positive).

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

People tend to accuse me of being unreasonably optimistic, but really it's because I've already considered the worst case scenario and figured out a workaround.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Sorry, I missed the Census question from earlier. Your local enumerator has a Crew Leader, who reports to a Field Office Supervisor and on up the chain of command. (The people who designed the bureau evidently had lots of military experience. Only they LIKE forms more than the Army does, impossible though it seems.)

If you go to this page:

you'll be able to drill down far enough to find the right local office to complain to. However, if you give your address, the national/regional office is going to be able to look up their own records and figure out which enumerator/crew leader is getting complained about.
