After I have a long talk with myself, (exactly how many of these little talking to's am I going to have to go through before I actually listen to myself and not become engrossed in something new? It's Evony for the past two weeks), I will be going back to bed. I didn't do too badly, sleep-wise last night. Yes, I didn't go to bed until four in the morning (I got attacked on Evony and I was trying to build up my troops in order to counter. I lost) but I did wake up by one in the afternoon. Didn't do much, other than re-check my status on Evony (maybe I would all of a sudden be not colonised? No such luck.) while I stayed in bed and then finally went for a little walk.
I am in dire need of getting money due to a little problem with none of the accounting being properly set up by the time our first pay check was due. We got it all in cheque form, three days before Bank Holiday Monday. So, we could either cash it in the main branch, on the other side of the Liffey (I'm working all hours the bank is open and my lunch break isn't long enough to get there and back [and you need ID in order to cash it so I can't get someone else to do it for me]), or else just put it into our account and wait for it to clear. That means that of today, I'm not getting my money until next Monday. Six days! I'm going to be getting my pay check for this week, before I'll get it last week's.
Until then, I'm completely broke. I've gone ten euro to keep me going until Thursday, with it costing nearly five euro to get to where my work is. Luckily I'm only going in for one more day, tomorrow, and then I have Thursday off. So hopefully, I'll wake up Thursday, and have money in my account. I have a big chunk of my credit card to pay up, and then I owe 50 euro to my sister who has been helping me get by. And then I need to pay off all food and various other household expenses that the rest of the householders have been helpfully allowing all of this to be put onto the backseat until I can pay it off.
So, life is rosy in the sense that I am back in work, but not so -beautiful- in terms of my money situation. That's just gotten worse. But, I'm here.
Still. |
