I got paid on Thursday and it was a paper check (the place I work demands everyone have direct deposit but since there were so many screw-ups with my paperwork, I got a paper check). The better-half deposited it on Friday morning.
Saturday we went online and we bought a new laptop since my old one dies unexpectedly and is a flaming hunk of shit. Since we were buying, I also bought an MP3 player. Which is also totally justifiable since my office is so quiet it is like working in a tomb and while I like quiet it is ridiculously quiet. Luckily, I get a pretty decent discount because of my place of employment. Oh, what’s left of that check? Nothing. Spent in 48 hours on electronics–sweet.
It’s fun to occasionally blow a whole paycheck. I’ll admit that mine wouldn’t go nearly that far though! I’m just a part-timer, so I could probably splurge on a really nice dinner!
