If it makes you feel any better I asked for a raise due to an ever increasing workload at my job, and my boss literally gave me a gold star instead. I am now looking for a new job because I didn't find that very amusing.

Yeah, I figured it wouldn't have worked out the way it was pictured in my head... But how funny would that have been?

I'm building a clock.
Fudge you, that's clever.
THAT'S clever!
1) I don't even feel safe sitting in my office chair. No fucking way would I stand on it.
2) I don't have a clock, nor even a light in my office.

I need to shut up about work...But the thing is I'm damned proud of what I can do, and I was selling on my second day of work, and ever since I've been micro-managed, I can't what I need to do to sell.Ziggy587 wrote: Yeah, I figured it wouldn't have worked out the way it was pictured in my head...

Excel files, word docs, google calendar, etc. Putting that shit together takes time, and I don't have a client list.

Random thought: My wife is a sneaky nurse. When I was asleep last night she bandaged my boo-boos on my back. The injuries are small cuts from hockey, but I woke up with several bandages on my back.
She'd be an incredible Mother.

Re: Random Thoughts Thread
Amazon/Credit question.
My credit limit for the Amazon card is $2,000 right now I believe. I still have a little bit to pay off from the Wii U purchase, but what happens with the 12 month special financing / no interest if I put another big order on there? Looks like I have until December to pay it off. I was thinking I might cave and order a PS4 as well now, but this time I won't go over the $599 for 12 months and would probably just stick in the 6 month special financing zone ($149 or more). Maybe they keep the special financing separate per separate orders? Either way, I would have to have both paid off by December?
Is this asking for trouble? I'm still not too keen on credit stuff, but I think this Amazon card has been a decent way of building some credit. Maybe I should just pay off the Wii U quickly, then order the PS4 in the coming months. Just not exactly sure how this stuff works.

Re: Random Thoughts Thread
Those special financing things can be a little tricky.
OK, so here's how it will work. You have a balance on the card right now that qualified for X months no interest. If you make another purchase that qualifies for X months no interest, it'll be added to your card balance. But, there's a separate section on your statement that'll show special promotions or whatever it's called. Both purchases will show up there separately, each with its own balance, differed interest balance, and the time you have left to pay it off before the no interest promotions ends.
The one thing I'm not 100% on is if you have multiple no interest for x months purchases, when you make a payment, what percentage of the payment goes to what. I would assume that 100% of your payment goes to the purchase that has the least amount of time left until it's payed off.
