At Work

The cat is away again! Time to play!

Woke up really early this morning. I think it was not even 4am yet. Started thinking about the changes I had to make on my financial reports. Yesterday, I got to visit with somebody who's supposedly was an "expert" in finances. Showed him what I do, the recording and the reports... He suggested a thing or two like to further simplify my reports. I guess it was too complicated for the board members that's why he had to check on me. But oh well, can't please everybody! Anyway, he was all praise about my work. He said I was a genius in PeachTree (the accounting software we use) and that he was so impressed with the quality of work that I do. He said it to a couple of our board members and my boss. I was elated when I went home. A few kind words made me forget my frustrations. At least for the rest of the day yesterday. This morning I was greeted by my computer with an error. The smile quickly fade away... Life is not perfect, so I just have to deal with it.

Broke!

I'm officially broke.

It is such a sad sad feeling knowing you can't afford to buy anything. Not even a pair of flip flops! Although I don't need one... but it gives me comfort when I know I can buy anything I want without having to worry about it. I may sound selfish but I worked hard to be where I am now.. or should I say, where I was. I guess I should work harder and stop giving away my hours. Stop calling in sick and not leave early because I don't have anything else to do. I hate wasting the company's money, but what the heck! I am broke! I can't even afford to pick my own nose! Rick always uses that expression whenever he talks about somebody who's broke. But I never really fully understood the whole meaning of it. Oh well, I'll borrow his line anyway.

Ugh! I really don't feel too well right now. Being broke makes me nauseous. Weird. But, I only have myself to blame. As what most people say in times of trouble... "There's a light at the end of the tunnel." I can see a tiny glimpse of it now. There is hope after all.
