More "Gap" Than "Stop"

Q: What's more annoying than having just enough to pay the rent?

A: Thinking you have just enough to pay the rent, only to discover another large check that you forgot to record hasn't been taken into account.

I do so hate using my credit card to pay the rent. :-`

Yes, I think I can definitely say that MFF is out. I'd say that D*C is out too if the money hadn't already been bloody spent for the plane ticket, and even then I may punt because of the hotel cost.

Oh well, I'm not going to think about that any more tonight.

Gave Scott a call, per his request, to just touch base generally on the crossover event thingie. Anybody who's tried to arrange phone conversations with me in the past can probably tell you that it's not an easy thing to do. I don't like talking on the phone because I do a lot of "Ummmmmm ... uhhhh ... what was I saying?" I can't keep my thoughts focused, and end up wondering if there are any local villages that have an "idiot" opening.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: if I seem brusque or distracted on the phone, please don't take it personal. I just suck at phone conversation. I do 85% of my communication with TEXT and like it that way. Scott, I hope I didn't seem standoffish; it's not my intention. I'm just, y'know, awkward.

*grumbles* Stupid economy. Stupid terrorists. Stupid me spending too much stupid money at AnthroCon.

I think I better go to stupid bed.

And here I thought it was the scarecrow who needed a brain, not the lion.

You ain't stupid, you're human. I know, beat me up for calling you a homosapien, but hey, if the term fits.... and we all know how humans have a knack for screwing things up.

Hope you get it all worked out, buddy!

*hugs*

Helpful Pn0y!

Well, I hope I can be helpful, at least. I e-mailed you a few of my recent job leads to your thegneech AOL address. Good luck!

No, you didn't sound standoffish.

I DID sound like a hyper idiot, because I was nervous
about meeting the commitment of strips in time.

Mmmm.... Bed...

I got one for you...how about paying $4000 for a car that the dealership produced papers for stating it had had the engine and transmission overhauled and that was the reason for the price (it was a 1978 Bonneville and ---had the engine been good--- the price was correct blue book value) and then finding out that it needs the equivalent of an engine rebuild ($3000) when you thought all it needed was the plugs cleaned and the wheels and tires replaced? And having budgeted for the tires and wheels but not a rebuild, you now have the equivalent of an interesting lead brick in your driveway :P

I hope your finances even out....ours are slowly going to shit in a sandbag through no fault of our own.

Worse than that, I suppose, would be thinking you have enough, cutting the check, only to find two weeks later that it bounced... and all of a sudden you owe the bank $70 before you can pay your bills for that week...
