Broke as a Joke
It’s been two weeks since my last updated… I make no apologies for the frequent lapses in blogging. Work has a tendency of kicking my ass every few days, especially when I only had one day off in the last week. I’m getting tired of the long hours spent at work, not so much because it’s work but rather because of the actual time I leave work. Getting home at 11pm every night just doesn’t work for me anymore. I miss being able to go places and do things during the week; you just can’t do that when everything but the local bar is closed when you get out of work.
Which brings me to the usual I’m-poor-and-thus-can’t-afford-to-have-a-life rant. John and I have spent a few days talking about our jobs, and why we don’t get paid enough. As it is, the yearly hosting fee for this very website is due today, but won’t get paid until at least next week. For the impending “site not available” messages, I DO apologize.
Not having any money has certainly put a damper on my social life, but it’s giving me time to relax and reflect on life. I’ve got a stack of books I should start reading; I’ve started working out on a daily basis (and yes John, I will eventually buy a damn bike so quit whining about it!). I really wanted to go to the museum today, but have been informed that it’s not free (unless you go on Mondays, which I usually spend at work). Maybe I’ll shell out the $3.00 and go on a brewery tour — at least that way I’ll get a few drinks out of it.
Update: I did go on that brewery tour after all, over at Lakefront. Ah, there’s nothing quite like getting hammered at 3 o’clock on a Wednesday afternoon :) I highly recommend it!

I will not stop whining about you getting a bike unless you replace the bike with adopting a cat! It’s your choice, cuddle with a cat, feed it and pick up it’s poop, or, buy a bike and get the rock solid abs like me that you sooooo envy. The choice is yours..

Working, having no money, and severely lacking in social activity. HMMMM? Sounds kinda like someone I know. Oh yeah, ME !!!

That late shift took a toll on me quick for the 2mo. I had it..

I hear ya; I’m fed up with working till 10pm and beyond. I just want days dammit! 9 to 5, 11 to 7, somewhere in between…. anything is better than what I work now.
