It's my life and someone else is welcome to it

I truly look forward to the day that my life ceases to be a cheap, unconvincing soap opera.

That day is not today. The tire pressure light was still on, I arrived at my appointment, I asked to see the manager, and the answer to "why do I keep paying you to work on my tire" was "The only tire we *haven't* worked on is the right rear one." In other words, it's not that their fix isn't taking, it's that my tires are hitting their limit one at a time.

So today ended up costing me another $200.

*sigh*

I'm at home, because I'm also tired and stressed and couldn't do decent work if I tried. While I'm here and I'm having a terrible day, I'm going to get the bills paid.

It hasn't been entirely horrible. I enjoyed the Mycroft; my last run to the Book Thing was the best haul *ever* - knitting books! Lots of knitting books, and I got there first! - and I even got some stuff for other people. Most importantly, I have saved enough that I can make it through February (the half paycheck month).

But ARGH!!! If ever a day was made for running around in your jammies eating chocolate, this one was. And yes, that's also on the agenda.

It's a pity the car isn't still under warranty.

And: why do you only get half a paycheque in Feb? Most people here get paid fortnightly, and some weekly. Hubby gets paid monthly and I think it's a tiny torture every month. It also means that I'm often paying for everything in the last week or so of the month.

Thank you.

As for the pay -- now that I'm used to being paid once a month, we're bumping back to a payday on 15 & 30/31. Rather than do the bills half at a time, I'm trying to get through on the "half" pay I get today, and then ignore the pay on the 15th & treat the final check of the month as though it were my monthly check, if that makes sense. One big flurry of bill paying instead of two smaller ones.

sorry you had such a crummy day! But look at it this way: you haven't sunk to soap opera levels until you discover you have an evil twin you never knew about.

If I had one of those, I'd make her do half the chores!
