  • did I mention that I absolutely despise my bank's new online bill-pay website format?censored I can't, for the life of me, figure out how to set up recurring payments.  I liked that feature in the old format...maybe I'll give 'em a call on one of my days off and ask.  they're pretty good at walking me thru past frustrations.  anyway. I do some online banking, transferring a good $300 from checking into my gem encrusted solid gold brake job MC account.  I see they've raised my limit by $500 without askin'. I don't rightly need it, but thanks, just the same.  I don't remember exactly when I got this card, but my year of free interest is gotta be up soon, so my goal is to pay this sucka off before then.  it's an attainable goal, since 3 weeks out of every month, I'm able to throw extry cabbage toward it, I simply gotta be careful about using it for everything under the sun (gas, groceries, etc.).  I do like the flexibility of owning a credit card, I just have to remember lessons learned from past irresponsible useshy.  my set limit is $2500, my actual is $1100 (and dropping), so I'm doing good (self regulation, by being overtly OCD tweaked about my finances, keeps me on my toes).  next week; lot rent and my gas bill are due...what ever is left (sans the weeks living expenses) will also be thrown toward the MC card.cool.

    it's time to take an old dog on a good pooperdog walk, then hit the stalag for my "Friday".  12 more working hours (and counting) 'til the mid-week weekend begins. I'm thinkin' one of this weekends projects will include installing the motion sensor light that I bought (some months back), to be aimed from the porch to the shed *plan*.  I've gotten a bit more confident in electrical wiring since my successful porch outlet projectpleased

    speaking of the stalag, we're constantly being reminded that we're holding up an airplane at the airport for our next shipment, or there's another helicopter (costing the company $10,000/minute) landing in the parking lot so as our parts can be expedited to whatever automotive line we're about to shut down, etc. how in the world is the stalag even still in business. if these stories are true, we've gotta be going deeper into the red. I'm amazed, at every day that goes by, that I go to work and don't see the doors locked with the building being completely dark. I'll let you know when it happenswhatevah. meanwhile, while looking at my check stub, I see I got my 3 month $.40/hour raise (shweet!). seems It was just last year at this time that I was making $8.50/hour, now I'm pulling in $11.35/hour.  huge difference!!pleased

    anyway...oh yeah.  pooperdog walk [ready,GO!]
