Yesterday was my day off from my Full Time job, and since I wasn't so burned out from my 40hr week I decided to work for my old job.
Yesterday was fun in that I found out that my boss had hired someone Full Time and hadn't told me (he hired the person back in Sept or Oct!)....plus...did I mention they were FULL TIME???? When I worked for this other person, I had been promised and promised time and time again that I would eventually go full time, which never happened and eventually was put down to 8hours a week.
I even have written proof from my boss that I would be going Full Time by May 2008. HA! I'm about ready to tell this boss that I don't need him anymore and that he can take his crappy job that I barely work anymore and...well I'm too nice to really say what I'm thinking :P
Anyway, so as I wasn't at my regular job yesterday, I missed the email from our President letting us know that we would be receiving a $300 Christmas gift! After bonus taxes it comes out to just over $184. You wouldn't believe how many people were complaining about how little it was. Excuse me???? This is $184 I didn't have yesterday. And I'm sorry, but they didn't have to give this to us.
I really dislike ungrateful people.
This $184 is all going towards paying off one of our CCs. We didn't get any snow like a lot of the eastern states did, but it sure snowed in my checking account! :)
Our Journey to becoming less haunted by debt. There will be good times, and I'm sure bad, but in the end we hope to bring our debt down and manage our financial lives responsibly.

Paydays!
So it's a few days late, but J and I both got our paychecks last week, and more than half of the bills have been paid for the month.
It's very odd for me to only pay minimum payments on them, after paying more than the minimums for such a long time. But only time will tell how this DRP will work! I guess when I start knocking some of the cards off my list it will make more sense and give me a boost to continue with it :)
So Christmas is well on it's way, and I have started with the shopping. Didn't get as much done this weekend as I wanted to as I had to work today (gotta love the jobs that are 24/7 365 days a year!) and I got hit with a cold on Friday, pf which I still feel pretty lousy.
Going to be working my 'other' job tomorrow. It's the job I had before getting this one...if you read back to October 2009 you'll know about 'that' job. Basically, I lend a hand when I can. Plus it will mean about $150 snowflakes to debt in the new year.
Hope the season is treating everyone well, and that the budgets haven't been blown yet :)
