2002-08-01 - 9:10 p.m.� I've been spending way too much money lately. Spend, spend, consume, consume. I keep trying to justify my purchases to myself, explaining it away, trying to make myself believe that my purchases mean more than just the aquistion of new things. This week I've spent a good deal of money on used books, which is okay, see, because it's kind of like recycling, and it's supporting small business and not a corporate giant. And besides, who could really argue that books are bad? It's good read! Give a hoot, read a book! I've also bought a whole lot of stuff at various dollar stores, which is fine too, of course, because the things I bought would have cost me a whole lot more elsewhere, and also, come on, that funky purple clock was only $3.00-- they were practically giving it away! The only problem is these things are adding up. I've spent about a hundred bucks this week, on sale items, used books, and dollar store finds. Meanwhile, over half of my paycheque went to rent and utilities, and I've got to buy my brother a birthday present, a wedding present for my friend, and something to wear to my friend's wedding. And groceries. I think I need to find another source of income just to support my shopping habit, so I can afford all these things I can't help but buy. Also, I'm really thinking that this money would have been better spent on an air conditioner, because it's a frickin' oven in here. If anyone out there would like to buy me an air conditioner, or even just donate to the overall cost, feel free to email me. I'm not proud, I'll accept your money. In other news, I am seriously stressed at work right now. No major disasters at work today, just about a million little disasters. I've managed to hold the department together admirably during my coworker's vacation, but it has taken its toll on me. And right now I'm into the busiest time in my own job, the dreaded monthly reports, so I really don't have the time to do anyone else's job. Normally during report time, my coworker even takes over some of my job, so I can put all my energies into working on the reports. So basically, right now it's like I'm responsible for more than double what I normally am. And in case it's not clear to everyone, I'd just like to say, the whole situation completely sucks.
