Powers out at work and I’m sitting around on my phone waiting for the power to come back or just go home. How’re you all doing. :p

Love the color, but that is about when Ford lost me on the Mustang. I refer to 71-78 as the lost years, although I also was never a fan of the fourth gen either.

hopefully you’re staying cool. A few weeks ago the power went out at work but we have generators to keep the computers and servers going so we didn’t have any downtime BUT the AC system didn’t have power. I felt disgusting when I left

Woke up about 10 minutes after when I should normally have left to head in to the office. Scrambled through the fastest shower of my life and managed to be out the door 10 minutes later. Hauled ass through traffic and made it only about 5 minutes late. Thankfully my manager wasn’t there yet. God I hope I didn’t pass her in traffic while I was driving like a fool. I don’t think she knows what I drive though so I should be alright...
So yeah, that’s been my morning so far.

It’s a good question. I’m not sure I really know. Probably money issues. I say issues, that’s not really the right word. Lack of progress, I think is the better way to couch it. I got laid off back in the beginning of 2014, and was out of work for 8 months. That killed my savings, got a new job finally, but had to move. We were in an apartment, had a contract on our house to sell all signed, and we signed to buy a new house, and had a kid on the way. It all looked ok, but the contract to sell fell through, and I was stuck with two mortgage payments for another 8 months. Most of my cash flow was tied up in that, had to sell my ‘Vette, downgrade cars (not feeling bad about that, no big, just cars) which meant most day to day stuff, like food, ended up on credit cards until the house was sold, which of course we didn’t really make anything on. And then we had some failing appliances, the kitchen remodel which I did most of the work on, but the granite that we had to have, etc. and the roof damage, the windows that need replaced... It all just mounts. I have managed to stay off of mounting more debt, for the most part, but every time I seem to get ahead a bit, there’s more stuff. Like a new car seat, clothes for the kids, that roof deductible, the new blower motor for the HVAC, and everything resets and it’s like I’ve made no progress. It’s depressing. Overall, we’re still in the black, month to month, so most of the time I can make up some room on the debt, and overall, the balances are going down, but not that fast. I managed to take advantage of some “deals” on prime day yesterday on stuff we needed to get, like that car seat, but it still costs money. And I’ve got upcoming dental work that needs to be paid for, so yay, I guess. Plus class starts up soon, they’ll want their $2000. Only six more of those to do. I’m just not feeling any progress towards things being paid off. phooey.

Gearing up for a long day, which is why I showed up 30 minutes early. It was a nice breezy 80-something morning, which made for a nice drive.

It was worth a shot...
But just venting helped a bit. Thanks!
