Guess what I am short on this week?

It's just that I've had quite a few unexpected expenditures come up. Brae's trip to the doctor was a nice kick in the wallet (thank you Aetna for allowing me to continuously pay you while receiving very, very little in return. You humble me well.)

Then Dodger had a vet appointment in which he got some shots and apparently is not rabid anymore or something which I don't really know know because all I heard was, 'blah,blah,blah,blah,blah,blah,blah,blah,blahGIVEMEONEHUNDREDDOLLARS,blah,blah,blah,blah,blah,blah,blah,CUTEPUPPY,blah,blah,blah.blah,blah,blah,blah,blah,blah,blah,blah'

I'm growing increasingly more frustrated with my finances and have begun to be sloppy about things. Like actually doing my hair, or painting my toes, or shaving my pits. You know, things that need to be accomplished on a DAILY basis have now become all, 'no worries, it doesn't matter anymore because the financial drain has done whisked away my happiness and minute details are just not important anymore. Pass the fudgesicle please.'

I know. I took on a puppy knowing there would be considerable cost involved. And yes, I overlooked that because ZOMG! LOOK AT HIS PAWS!

It's not that I can't afford his vet appointments, it's just that every time I go there and pay my bill I am haunted by the vision of a vegan leather designer purse dancing before me taunting, 'that money could have been spent on me, you silly fool!'

But there are rewards to having this particular puppy. I really enjoy picking sticktights from his overgrown wiener hair and pulling my freshly worn thongs from his mouth.
What can I say? He makes me smile, that's really the only reason I keep anyone around.

Anyway, I kinda got a job offer. Kinda, because I already submitted my resume to the supervisor. I was recommended by my past supervisor to him for my superior attention to detail (read: anal retentive) and he has already let me know that I am his first choice for the position and now we are waiting for HR.

This position comes with a significant amount of responsibility and with my master negotiator skills (read: have never negotiated a salary in my life) I should be looking at a hefty salary increase.

In which case, that dancing purse will be mine.
