*sigh*

I should know better.
I'm an adult - I should KNOW better than to look at things that disturb me. To read things I KNOW are going to PISS me off!
*deep cleansing breath*
I must have faith in Karma, for she is a bitch, and ALWAYS exacts the perfect revenge.

And, I want to pat myself on the back - for every one liner, for every biting remark, for every nasty thing I COULD say and DO NOT. Some of them are VERY clever indeed, and I really think they SHOULD be heard, somewhere, I wish I were as much of a bitch as the rep says, because BELIEVE me, everyone would so totally despise me then *snicker* But seriously, the wasted oneliners are incredible!

This entry has been HOURS In the making. My contacts are starting to bother me (and they NEVER DO! Adding one more thing to my grocery list - more contact lenses, since I'm down to two and I'd like to start wearing them only two weeks and tossing them) I have lots to say, but I never got back in touch with my NYC co-conspirator, so I'm going to email him now then go to bed. Sleep - where I'm a Viking!

Yikes!

I hate when things that need to happen hinge on something else.
Like, finding hotel reservations to my NYC hotel of choice (the Gershwin, and I know it's a tad too run down for the price, but outside parking and location just can't be beat) for two, for LESS than $100 a night, the only thing up in the air is one bed or two, but I'm going to request two, and NOT being able to get a hold of my cohort is annoying.

Of course, as I'm typing that - he calls. We're going to get that room.

BUT - getting the room hinges on getting a paycheck. If I don't get it today, to put more on my credit card, which needs to pay for an oil change to the Auto of Doom today, it's JUST not quite enough to pay for everything. If ONLY I Hadn't paid every bill I could get my hands on. If' I'd ONLY just sat on the one not due til the end of the month, I'd be SET. Also, if I'd only not forgotten to put in two charges into my checkbook, I wouldn't have paid that last bill, since I would have been TOO close to broke to do it.

*sigh* I wish I had these problems every month.

I think I'm just going to jump with both feet. I'm going to use the debit card to pay for the oil change, which is the last of my cash, and book the room once I get to the office. AND send out that thing I need to send using the company account. (And they love me so much, that I'm going to TELL them I'm doing it, instead of not!) That way, I'm all set. Completely BROKE, but all set, and all I need is the check, and I'm ALL set. AND, I can cash the check, and deposit the excess cash for my remaining bill.

*shakes head* How do I get into these financial twists and turns?

OK - I have to get up and dress quickly, while waiting for the girl babysitting my nephew today. I want to be outside when she gets here. Oh, and each major street between me and my nephews school is flooded. So much for neato thunder, lightning and rain. *makes a face*

OK - Back later!

I love it

When a plan comes together!

- Call to Unit, re: Check from CPA #1. Arrival status: Confirmed
(This was after getting plesantly surprised by call from CPA #1, whom I thought left on Vacation today. She leaves tomorrow. Got principle confirmation of mailing of check.)

- Immediate turn to computer, to book hotel room at favored hotel at cheap prince. Status: Confirmed. AND prepaid. OK, sucky, yes, BUT, I'm also guaranteed a late arrival, so I don't have to call the hotel. AND I shouldn't have to pay for parking, since I'm going to try and manouver street parking. AND, it's prepaid, so I don't need to worry about saving myself enough money for the bill on Sunday. (yes, I see this is a pro AND a con, I'm a chick and a Leo, get over it!)

- Plans for work schedule change AND trip plans. Status: Falling into place. Change to schedule confirmed, I have the hotel, and the confirm of my companion. AND I just need directions and refreshing on the route from Providence and I'm good to go.

- Additional room on the credit card for incidentals. Status: Pending. I need to 1) cash paycheck 2) deposit cash tomorrow 3) wait for it to clear and 4) setup payment. I'm going to TRIPLE check regarding availability of cash, then I'm going to setup the payment to my credit card. I need to be OK, since I'm probably going to hit the $10 mark on my new Fast Lane transponder and if they can't recharge it, that would suck.

- Notifcation of NYC peeps about arrival. Status: pending. Call already placed to SUPERHOTANDYUMMY Mr. Constantine (*Sighs* Oh, I'm sorry, am I drooling?) Call TO be placed to Ms. staralfurinn tonight before leaving for MR, I didn't want to bother her at work. Emails to be sent to my nice new NYC friends daathphi and angelsil to see if there's any hangout time to be had. Need to go through my box o'papers to find Mr. Ed-the-sexy-Brooklyn-boy-Rivethead's phone number and email to poke HIM about a hangout (but he works at Freaks, like, all the time, so that won't be hard *grins*) And the best part - although andelucien wants to hang out, he has other stuff to do, leaving me free to wander as I please, which, after the Montreal retarded collective mentallity, will be nice. OH and reconnect with elvendoll regarding connecting for dinner.

Can we say Stompy Boot Shopping! I knew we could! Plus, I'm on the hunt for Ayashi No Ceres DVDs, and the InuYasha Soundtracks.

Arrival is scheduled for around 11PM Friday night. There's something going on that M wants to go to, so I need to get that confirmed, then it's shopping and food galore. I want noodles, and burgers and LOVERLY Vegan Dim Sum. OH and SUSHI!

And - total tanget - It's NICE to come into an office and be LOVED. The high boss loves me, my minion loves me (I leave her alone, but take the problems off her hands) Human Resources loves me. And I just got to tell one of the support staff that we're looking at promoting her into my staff (to theoretically be my replacement) and she was TOTALLY thrilled. I LIKE being the harbringer of good stuff (Wait, that sounds somewhat dirty!)

Right, I now have lots of stuff to do before leaving and I REALLY HOPE the big boss's minion is still here.

On the agenda for tonight - free entree into MR, putting up with stupid people who will make crap up in their LJ's afterwards, getting home WAY too late and somehow fitting mailing out two returns and packing (LIGHTLY) in there somwhere.

At least I can have a drinkie! I'm going to KISS my boss for mailing my check!

The only thing wrong with tonight

is that it sounds like every stupid poopface in the tri-NE State area is showing up. GOOD for business, I'm OK with it for the club's sake, BUT, that means I have to put up with people like the Yahoos who "posed" and "danced" for the photographer and film crew that time. I mean, COME on people. better not be any newbies in my seat, or else there's a PRIME hurtin' goin' down.

I have to go dress to the nines now. My hair needs a-cutting, so I'm tying it back, and adding my favorite extensions, and tying them up like big poufy ponytails. And I REALLY should get going on that, before I dress, to let my whoopie-pie dinner settle a bit. *sigh*
