In which this weather is giving me a sore throat.

I’m cold.

It’s 28 degrees out and there are flurries. SNOW FLURRIES! The neighbors across the street have half their yard covered in towels to keep their tender young plants from freezing to death.

Brrr.

In other news, I suck at balancing checking accounts. (That’s what I’m doing at work this morning: balancing the checkbook. Badly.)

In other news, here’s my desktop. (It’s a huge file because I have no graphics software on this machine and couldn’t convert and compress it. Don’t click if you’re on dial-up!)

    If you locate the checkbook’s center of gravity, you should be able to balance it more easily.

    *smooch*

    LOL! -m

    Thanks for the dial-up warning. You did that for me, didn’t you? The good news is that since our fiber optic has been connected, our dial-up speed has gone from 26.4 kbps to 45.2 kbps. Whee! The speed is making me dizzy!

    Connecting fiber shouldn’t have any effect whatsoever on your dial-up speeds, though. -m

    Like I told you years ago…

    round DOWN deposits (record a deposit of $400 though you put in $410)
    round UP check amounts (write a check for $37.23, recorded it as $40)

    Why? Because you really don’t need to know the exact balance in your account. But you do need a cushion.

    Stay consistant and in a years time you’ll have a nice little nest egg. Leave it alone. And you’ll never be poor again!

    I don’t have a checking account, and since my last one was closed due to levy and my credit’s fucked I can’t open a new one. Good idea, though! -m
