Bottom to the Bottomless

I closed another month and realized, oh, shiznit, I'm poor!

I went to AFO early this month and I really shouldn't have gone. Yeah, Su split everything with me, but she paid back in cash. Problem with cash? If it's cash, and it's in my pocket, I'll eventually spend it.

Especially at strip clubs.

So here's my moratorium: no more. I need to quintuple my reserves before I even THINK about going back.

And I wondered why I didn't have to go to an ATM to get a few lap dances last two times.

So that's what The Devil card in my tarot readings were alluding to. You know, temptation, choosing the wrong thing even though you shouldn't. Not to say that it's BAD what I've been doing, just that it's bad when you can't afford it.

Alcohol is expensive, too. I really should drink up my reserves. But, alas, I'm a bad bartender it seems. At least right now without the right equipment. I'm NOT going to go out and buy this equipment, so...

Anyone like their Banana Rum straight up? *raise hand*

Still no internet at home. Doing this from work. It's irritating at this time. I can't get any help because every call I make to tech support starts going into "Oh, well, make sure the computer is plugged in..."

I can't just say, "Hey, I can't connect to the PPPoE server." They'd respond: "What's a server?" I'd answer, then they'd ask "What's a PPPoE?". I'd answer, then they'd ask "What's a 'hey'?"

Hay, as we all know, is for whoreses.

I'm fine, though, I've got emergency cash reserves that I'll probably tap and get in my account so none of my checks bounce. And I've got a grand or two winking away in a dedicated savings account. I really don't want to pull THAT since it's earning interest.

Perhaps I should also mention I lost a lot of cash in the market last month. Not a big deal, since you don't invest with anything other than "risk capital". But it still hurts to know it isn't there. I, being a young guy, invest in agressive stocks and ignored things like, oh, I don't know... OIL. Ah, well, hindsight is 20/20.

In other news, Diana did buy me a lap dance last time I was there. So that's $25 saved. Y
