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.

well joy, cheer up and take comfort in the thought that you are not alone. i am unemployed, a bum, hence no moolahs for me. i am afraid though that i have the power of a credit card because i know my husband has to pay for it. or maybe i should rephrase that...my husband is afraid that i have the spending power of a credit card attached to his bank account. ^-^

don't worry, you can still find happiness in the midst of being broke. take it from the expert. hehe

thank you odette and caryn! eventually it'll get better. just have to work harder and stop being lazy. i'm quite blessed because while others scramble to find a job... i have two! i can't blame the economy on my predicament! lol!just need to stop wasting my hours.

credit cards are tempting! but i managed to stay away from them. "live within your means" is my motto in life.
