Time O' Finances

Wow, its been a while since I posted. I suck. So, I got a second job.... yay..... We used our tax returns to get almost completely out of debt! So now as long as we're careful we shouldn't be scraping by so bad anymore. This whole cutback at Invisus thing really sucks though. I got paid last week, and I had the same amount on my check from Teleperformance as I did on my check from Invisus. So, with the more expensive insurance and the cut in pay and hours, I'm now making at Invisus the equivalent of $4 an hour less at 40 hours a week. So I am now working 80 hours a week and making $200 a month more than I was making 2 months ago. That sucks. Oh well, I guess that's life. At least with the second job we'll be able to pay our bills.

I am happy about the new stimulus package if only for one reason. It means the government gave me $8000 that I don't have to pay back! Yay! That really helped us out too. Because of that we were able to get out of debt and are able to buy food now. I'm a big fan of Obama for that. Although, watching the congressional address last night cracked me up. They gave him a standing ovation in between every statement he said. They kept standing up. Shouldn't the standing ovation be saved for the end? I mean, seriously, are you guys just trying to stay awake or what? It was humorous to me. And at one point Obama said something about starting to export American goods to strengthen the economy. I'm like, since when did America have goods? >.> We don't make any exportable goods. We get all our stuff from Asia. We have WoW. That is our contribution to the world. I thought it was funny. No one else in the break room did. :P

So, that's my life right now. Work, live for Saturdays, try to find humor in not so funny places. You have to laugh at life. If I couldn't laugh at life, I wouldn't be able to do what I'm doing now. That is the moral of today. Laugh at everything you can.
