Had a brain cramp this past week and completely forgot to "refill" my commuter card for the coming month (duh!) so I will have to pay for the next 40 days of subway fare from post-tax money. DOH!
And I am also teetering on the brink of total overdraft disaster at the bank (yes, I have an overdraft protection account, but I have been using it way too often lately) so refilling my MetroCard until payday on Thursday should be interesting.
So you could say that I have indeed fallen back to earth with a thump. I mean, hey, we don't get Columbus Day off at our company either, so today was (a) a workday, and (b) started off by my locking myself out of the network at the office since I mistyped my LAN password 3 times (two words: case sensitive).
After a helpful chat with the Help Desk, I cleared out a little under 300 e-mails from my inbox this morning (my eyes felt like they were crossing by the last dozen or so). Tomorrow, I rescheduled a checkup with my onco-doc since I still have to finish my third quarter billing (sssshh! we got an extension -- don't tell my boss or she might have apoplexy).
I leave you all with two things: (1) this lovely view of the lower Manhattan skyline taken at the South Street Seaport during sunset this summer, [both my old office building and the new one -- 4 blocks further from the subway -- are in the shot] and (2) the plaintive question as to when I can leave for my next vacation?
(Lest you all think I am ungrateful: I love Love LOVE being employed! I do! And I especially adore my health insurance! Yes indeed! I just really enjoyed my vacation and liked it LOTS. Heh.)
