Y2 D170

My cold has not passed yet, but I am fighting it with everything I've got. I will not let this cold ruin my weekend. I have been looking forward to this weekend for weeks now and no stupid cold will knock me out. rockstar, rockstar, rockstar.

Speaking of saying things three times, I watched Beetlejuice last night. Decided to text out the ol' PS3 and it's Netflix functions. Hey guess what? Just as usable as the Xbox version without the $60 a year. Wootness.

Work was a little stressful yesterday. I walked into a stack of changes. Turns out I totally blew a couple of the formulas which threw everything off. There are between 900 and 1500 fields on some these reports all based on the first five or six fields. If the calculations on those are even slightly off, then the whole report is off. I messed up four of the six. D'oh. That meant the whole report looked horrible because you had a report of a 1000 fields looking all wrong when it was just the first few numbers that were 'wrong'. Regardless, once we realized what had happened, it wasn't too bad to fix. Took me about 9 hours to get four of the six reports done. Two more today and then some minor cleanup. Finish the week strong.

And I am proud to say I made it to payday. I had roughly $30 in the bank since Monday. With the exception of one pack of smokes, I spent nothing all week. I had 24 in the bank last night and I made it to this morning. Now bills get paid and I will be right back where I started. I am hanging in there. Learning to live within my means. Learning to do without, make do, and do over. It's tough, but I can do it.

Don't need much this week. A little bit of groceries, some stuff for the party, and I am good. The cat needs litter, food, and the bunnies need food. I can do this dammit.
