My Sunday Meeting of the Finance Week 7

Sorry, faithful reader(s?).

I've been away for a week. I mentally checked out from this blog here.

It's really hard to maintain a blog. I haven't been in the mood to write a damned thing. It's partly because I'm jittery. The idea of sitting down to blog after 8 hours of being on a computer at work, compounded with using my home computer to find a job, is anathema at times. I'm on the computer a lot. It doesn't feel good.

Also, I gashed my finger. I made a splint out of a popsicle stick and tape. Typing is not easy when your index finger is wedging itself into the keyboard.

Also #2. My dad and stepmom have been pissing me off. Remember that bachelor party I went to? The one for my brother? Well, it turns out my folks were resentful that I buzzed through town overnight without informing them. That might be otherwise understandable, but my brother told them we were coming by and tried set up a breakfast together. My dad said that was cool at first, but a day after agreeing to have breakfast, he became angry and canceled. Because I failed to tell them in addition to my brother. I was stunned that they were so furious and was too scared to call them. Three weeks went by before I finally called... because I knew that the longer I put off calling, the angrier they would get. I smoothed things over with my dad, but they're still angry at my brother. This little scenario has contributed to my jitteriness.

What an awkward conversation I had with my dad. He's insanely passive aggressive. But I can handle him one-on-one. Usually our tiffs are exacerbated when he lets his wife fight his battles for him. She has an interesting habit of being simultaneously aggressive and passive aggressive, if that's possible.

Thinking and talking about them is exhausting right now. That's all I'll say for the time being.

Financially? Oh, yeah! The purpose of this blog! It's going OK. I had my first paycheck in which nothing had to go to a bill. That was quite exciting for me. I bought some shorts, a few songs for my iTunes, some new lunch containers, and food. I fixed my bike up, too. And purchased my brother's wedding present.

I'm going to make an effort to take every Monday evening to look for paying jobs/gigs. I feel I need some routine. But not too much. Some.

Sleep!
