07.15.05 - Friday
Friday snuck up on me completely! I hadn't realized it was the weekend until my coworker mentioned it. My mind registered a vague feeling of Wednesday or Thursday when I got to work this morning, for some reason.
This week probably flew by because I've been so worried about not having money, and about still having to pay bills. There should be some sort of law where you shouldn't have to pay your bills if you're broke. Can we start that? Thanks, that would be great. "Hey, Ford Motors, lemme get back to ya. Yeah, dead broke this month. Thaaaanks."
Shyeah, right.
I had a recent roadside mishap that set me back $500 and as a result threw all my bills limbo. My bank account is currently a joke at $35 in the negative, and I don't know where it'll be by next Friday when my direct deposit finally goes in. I still have no idea how I'm going to get all my bills paid. I feel I should be pulling my hair out trying to figure out how I'm going to get my expenses under control, but I've been too busy playing with my new cell phone from T-Mobile.
The New Toy
Ladies, and gentlemen, I give you (for $319.00) the new and improved T-Mobile "Sidekick II". This little gadget features a tiny "qwerty" keyboard, a flip-style color screen, and all the functionality of a cell phone, digital camera, personal digital assistant, real web browser and chat messenger all wrapped into one. This new toy has all but replaced my notebook computer at work, and I can't believe how incredibly handy it is to have around. I haven't worked out the details of how I'm going to pay for it yet, but I just can't put it down long enough to worry. The total cost was added to my phone bill which is due next month, so I have all that time to come up with something. (Procrastinators unite!)
But, to be honest, I think this tiny gadget has been my saving grace during this past week. I've been so wrapped up in its functions and features that I didn't have time to feel depressed about being short on funds. I didn't have time to dwell on the fact I'm thirty-five dollars overdrawn at the bank. I didn't have time to stress about the fact I missed my car payment for the very first time.
Who says electronics aren't therapeutic? I may not have the solution to my financial problems, but it's a vastly fascinating electronic world of blissful denial here. And I like it.
