From the monthly archives:
It amazes me the things people get upset over. And when I say people, I’m including myself.
“work is hard”, “my boss is mean”, “sally doesn’t like me”, “my boyfriend/girlfriend is being dumb”.

I’m reading a little Dickens right now. Hard Times. It’s one of his shorter novels, and although I’m taking my time (a few pages a night), I’m about half way through it.

OK, I did an updated spreadsheet, included all business and personal unsecured debt. I did not include the car loan (which is under the business). Most of the business debt is all in collections. I have not heard from WAMU in over 9 months. Same on Wells until this week.

They used none…pretty clever guys. Nicely done.
