Hot diggity damn

I got paid today.

Granted, the paychecks are getting smaller due to me not getting as much overtime, but I feel that they are suitable. Now let's see, 50 dollars to save, 150 to go into the car, that leaves me with..........147 dollars..............crap, I bought gas........126 dollars to spend. So that has to last me two weeks. Oh well, that isnt so bad.

*looks at calendar*

DAMNIT. School move in is the 27th/28th and my car goes into the transmission shop on the 29th. And I have managed to save a whole 100 dollars this summer. Amazing how a car and hobbies can eat money like it is nothing at all.

Well, on the bright side I am still single.......wait a second, that sucks.

But seriously, I cant wait to get back up to wheeling and start looking for another job. I like this job and everything, but it just cant sustain me, especially with how gas prices are on the rise. I bought gas today at 2.70 a gallon. A dollar more since I started driving in '02, not bad, but minimum wage is still the same. I now understand how people struggle to live on such a pittance. Everything has gone up, slim jims are 10 cents more, gum is 5 cents more, soda is 20 cents more, little debbie cakes are 20 cents more............yeah, you can tell my diet is mostly junk. Granted, gas wouldnt be so bad if I didnt live 13 miles from my job and my car had a 5th gear, but it has kept me out of the house and away from my parents and making money on my own.

Anyway, enough ranting. I go back on the 29th, so expect more posting and maybe some more sorrid stories of college party life. Anyway, I'm out for tonight. Later.
