I'm bitching about my being stupid and impulsive when I was younger.. running up the credit cards, living it up, acting dumb, etc..
Now I have to be all responsible and lock down the money until I pay off all of my debt. I planned it all out, and it should all be gone by the end of summer, but geez.. that's still crappy. I can't throw any more money towards parts for the 2JZ swap until then. After that, we really need more/better furniture, and I need a laptop for next time I deploy, whenever that may be [also need a laptop for when I eventually get an AEM EMS].
I have a BHG, but that's not anything new. I still have to try and make this last, or do a half-assed repair to make it last a year [ARPs + Cleanup + Composite Gasket + gasket spray?]. I live close to where I work, so I only drive the car to and from work on days when there is a downpour, and to go on large grocery trips. I miss driving, I miss boosting. Can't really gun it when you are trying to keep it from breaking.
Meanwhile, I have a new duty position at work, and I am not yet used to it. Every month, there is a large meeting in regards to what I do, and I know I am going to get ripped by the boss because I haven't learned all of the ins and outs yet, and they are going to see "my work" and be like "WTF, dirtbag?". The impending ass-chewing is just giving me heartburn.
On a positive note, at the rate I have calculated all of my debt planning, after August I will be out of debt and gaining money at a pretty good rate - so much that after bills and groceries every month are calculated out, I should have almost $10k by the end of the year. Of course, the laptop that I want and the furniture that my wife wants will take about 1/2 of that, but I am estimating that I should have a front-clip ready for transplant next spring. Maybe I'll be able to make it to SILV'06, but that's a long shot..
I've been needing to take time off, but something new always comes up, where I have to learn something new, I have important paperwork that magically comes due, I have a mandatory appointment, or I have other things to do BEFORE I can take time off, and I am never able to do it! I have 57 days saved up - I haven't taken a day off in 2 years! Needless to say, I am in need of some major time off.
So there you have it.
No, this is not ALL I have to bitch about. There is more. Much more. We'll see what happens tomorrow..
