show me the money
It's no mystery that I am currently obsessed with money and the lack of my having it. I am no stranger to a dearth of wealth but I always had enough. Last night's escapade of
  1. Insufficient Funds
  2. put something back
  3. still Insufficient Funds
  4. give up and go home empty handed
just made me realized exactly how unaware of how quickly my money goes out. No, it's not all that bad but I do forget I debited the rental of two movies when I should have saved that for food. But we have plenty in the fridge so no food bank for toasty. just no toast :(

Anywayz, my brain decided to pick on me last night and gave me a dream about money and working status and bonuses. I am currently at the end of my contract and awaiting with bated breath about either being renewed for a few more months OR being provided with a spanking new position, one basically of my own creation, sort of a documents & services manager with pitbull-like tendencies on Getting Things Done. Being hired or not is on my mind.

So I dreamed about getting hired. For some reason I was chatting with a person in accounting about my latest paystub. We don't actually do that but in the dream we do. There was an additional line stating I was getting $30,000 in addition to my usual 2week pay. And it wasn't a mistake. It was a bonus, a retroactive payment to give me a year's salary at what the management had decided I should have been paid. And it was confirmation that I was getting hired with a nice sized raise in pay. Wow.

I have never actually worked for a company that gives bonuses and I know this one does but I doubt it would ever be 5 figures. Weirder still is the idea that my subconscious believes I was doing good enough job to deserve a bonus. My conscious brain would never believe that. I have too many demons that beleaguer my self-worth to ever actually think I am doing a good job without feeling like a liar. Still, I know a few people have said it so that's worth something.

Anywayz, if things go as planned, anything up to that amount will be accepted with cheer.
