I did a bad thing this morning, something I probably shouldn't have done.

 

I've been trying to limit my "extras" spending lately, to make sure I have enough funds to pay for big things like rent (when I actually get an apartment), car payments, credit card payments, etc.  So this means a cutdown on luxury items like DVDs (*sob*), trips to Cosi for a caffeine jolt, eating out, yadda yadda yadda.

 

But I have so much shit to do over these next two days and all of next week in order to get invitations out to the right people for the May reception in Pittsburgh.  I have a list of categories of people/groups we want to invite, but absolutely no idea where to find the names and addresses.  And the problem is, nobody else seems to know, either.  Everyone who did has now left the Council.  And the list of invitees needs to get to the printer, like, yesterday, in order to get it in the mail on time.

 

So the bad thing I mentioned earlier?  I basically said 'screw the budget', ran out of the office and down to Cosi to get a mint mocha latte. 

 

Looks like I'm not going to be able to leave early tomorrow, either.  Mrgh.

 

 

I am:  stressed

not the end of the world, it'll sort itself out.

 

i also said strict budget- spent like over $100 this week and i feel more ridiculous buys coming up plus a dinner and then drinks... *sigh*

Yeah, I'm feeling a little better about it.  Not by much, mind you, but still better than this morning.  I had a brief meeting with the Asst. Director about our next steps with this, and she basically said that everybody hates the database system, and that I shouldn't feel that this is my thing to save.  She's been on the Exec. Director for weeks now about not only the system, but about hiring someone to come in and help update/fix it.

 

And I've decided that sometimes you just have to blow the budget.  Sometimes = stress times.

Re: Bad girl.
stress is a handy excuse for spending money, eating, smoking etc etc etc we should really embrace it

 

& i sympathize with the database stuff- ours is screwed as well and the incompetent company thats doing the design for the website is doing that too. it was meant to be a 1 year project- its the third year now.

 

& i bet the mint mocha latte was heavenly

*sigh*

Good luck with everything... hope you find that elusive 25th hour.  But yeah, just think of all the fun and candy you'll consume this weekend.   Chocolate cures all.
