Jan. 21st, 2004 02:34 pmI just got back from work. I've made an informal plan to work 10 extra hours a week for the next 6 weeks; this should lube up the financial works well enough to enable me to afford certain not-vital-to-my-existence purchases I'd like to make, plus make a big dent in aforementioned trip to Atlanta and fence fixing fund. Pluses- with my recent upgrade, I'm getting more bang for my buck, so the 5 hours I did today will net me close to $100 (sorry if salary discussion makes you squeamish; I never got that) and my boss has essentially said I can do this for as long as I want without needing to clear it with her. Being broke sucks, and this will (at least temporarily) fix that. Minuses- because they're seating some other lady at my desk on my off-days at 2pm, I can't work later than that unless I want to sit at a different desk (and I don't for lots and lots of reasons). So since it wouldn't benefit the hotline for me to go in at 3:30am, I'm going in at 9am twice a week.
This means I get 2 less days when I get to sleep in and I'm trying not to get into a headspace where I feel deprived of my much-needed down time. I know on days like this I usually surf the net and read and generally fuck around 'til 2 anyway, but even though it's not productive in the Protestant Work Ethic sense it does help with the introvert need for alone time. So I'll need to be a lot more protective about my down time for awhile.
And classes are starting tomorrow. Eesh. New Moon's tonight, class tomorrow, D&D Friday, and friend's birthday Saturday. I think I'm gonna lock that down NOW. No more planned anything for the rest of the week, unless you plan to come over here and give me a foot massage while I eat bonbons and watch Buffy.
