(psst: payperpost is actually being run by the penguin mafia, who are in cahoots with the cloaca-cola soldiers. all their employees are paid in dense stacks of meat and Mr. Accessories, which they cash in for more meat. they sell their stacks of meat to IGE and others in exchange for cash, so they can afford their WoW subscriptions, which they use in turn for gold farming, which they cash in as well to afford the two cars in their driveway. just thought everyone should know that. p.s.: don’t tell anyone that I leaked this information, or they won’t pay me for talking about ads on blogs, okay? Dyspepsi Soldiers, unite! this message will self-destruct in 35 days…)

Giving the people at PayPerPost a break, and some time to catch up, I have come to the following realizations:

I need a second job now, more than ever. Specifically, I need an additional $640 per month from somewhere to go with my meager pay at Albertson’s. Granted, I’m not working full time there, but, for trivia’s sake, I already have a 25% wage garnishment running against me, which means that from the span of 24 to 34 hours, I get paid just about nothing - it all goes to my debtors. If that weren’t happening, I wouldn’t mind working it all at one job, though I would *still* need the second job. I just wouldn’t need it quite as much.

$640 is the safe point. That guarantees house bills, gasoline, food, phone (if PPP doesn’t cover it) and a little extra for my Pepsi habit.
$500 would guarantee bills, and gasoline. I’d be reduced to 10 for $1 ramen and whatever my aunt cooks, as well as water, though. The phone would survive for about 3 months, unpaid. Then I’d be over my account’s spending limit, and it, too, would be cut off.

I’m actually investing a little of my paycheck into this fund thingy that work gave me. I don’t have the paper on-hand to really describe it, though — something with Fidelity Investments or summat.

I have an addiction to pho. That would make the switch back to ramen that much more difficult, after becoming quite rapidly adjusted to the rice noodle (which has a lighter taste) that is in pho. The flour noodle that is in most instant ramen doesn’t appeal very much to me.
(pho just needs less bloody sodium and MSG in it D; that’s going to be my downfall.)

I need new music, eventually.
Might cruise Jamendo for something later on.

I found out what the bug is that’s plaguing this WordPress install, and I’ve worked around it, in part at this point. I’ll likely end up finding where the little piece of JavaScript is that makes WP try to Autosave the post, and killing that. I don’t need Autosave.

Snakes on a Plane was quite funny.
I won’t go into detail, though.

Back to job hunting, and cleaning house.

I’ve noticed a healthy trend over at BlogExplosion:
I seem to be getting the same people re-renting with me, which means I must have found a point of balance, after all.

With that said, I’d like to welcome Full Metal Photographer back into the saltwater here.

This test is a post, to see if the latest post.php is less broken than before.

(and it is! Celebration! it works again, and I can post from the comfort of my Burning Panda.)
