Far Away Eyes CAN'T Do Math

[farawayeyes4]

Hey,

Yeah, I have gotten more than enough proof throughout the years that I can't do math. I had a hard time in grade school, middle school, high school, and college. I had to have help in my school years to even pass classes. Even now, though, I can often find out just how inadequate my math skills ARE. Like today, when I get my bank statement. I was pretty much 700 dollars off (and the weird thing is, folks, I keep track of ALL my expenses and deposits in a notebook so I don't have this happen). The good thing, the bank said I had some 700 dollars MORE than I thought I did. Yay for me on that. I seem to always end up thinking I've got way less than I actually do, which is better than finding out you way overspent what you thought you had. God gave me a gift to play with words, although I'm not always sure I do it well. He did NOT give me a gift to play with numbers, and I am always reminded it from time to time.

In other news, I actually work tomorrow and Sunday. Someone called and gave me their apparel shifts from 2 PM until 10 PM (More like 10:30 or 11 depending how much maintenance or signing has to be done, but still). That'll help out in the long run, especially considering I still do have bills to pay NEXT month and the months after that. Then I'll work on Thursday morning from 4 AM until 9 AM (or whenever my supervisor says I can go. I know him, he'll ask me to stay an hour, two, three, whatever past my clock out time. As little as I've worked lately, I won't mind.)

Do you think it'd be terribly awful of me to actually break down and buy a couple manga...now knowing I'm not totally and irrevocably broke or close to it? I know I'm still not working a ton, but I am quite a bit away from actually being in the hole, and my ready reserve is now paid off, so that's 20 bucks I won't have sucked out for that. It wouldn't be evil of me, would it?? Cause Ranma vol 1 is now available at my fave store. . .EDIT: I did it. I broke down and bought the first Ranma and another Inu manga volume. Yeah, I know. I shouldn't but damn it, I couldn't help it!

I suppose I should go write so I can get some where on my story, especially considering I work tomorrow. . .

Until next time,

Far Away Eyes
