Almost Done Addressing Invitations!

o not much happened today. I got my October scorecard at work. Which means my manager is on top of things this month. I'm oddly at peace now though. That's not good... I didn't make goal again this month (goal was 37 and I did 30 per hour- which is 80% of goal and thus "inconsistant) and apparently I'm still talking too much... that's depressing... but the fact of the matter is that as I did not make goal in October, I can't work overtime or hit incentive for November.... and November is the last month before my wedding. As paychecks pay for the previous 2-weeks of work, this means that I have no chance of making extra money before the wedding. This fact, while it brings along the stress of "WHAT AM I GOING TO DO?!?!" is also rather calming because, hey, if I make goal this month, I can eventually make money and use it to live on... but as for as the wedding goes, I'm out of luck. No stress (on if I make goal or not).

The OTHER bad part about not making goal is that it means I get no raise next year. which sucks. majorly. But there's also nothing I can do about that... maybe might be able to get a job elsewhere.... but at least I'm not stressing over that now.

The suckier part of that is that in reality it will be like taking a voluntary pay CUT next year as I will be paying for dental and vision insurance for both Matt and myself... and 2-people insurances cost more than 1-person coverage. So by not getting a raise and insurring both Matt and myself, in essence I am taking a paycut. which sucks more cause I'm still under 9 dollars an hour.

Which, I can't afford to do... so I'll be praying that God finds a solution to this little financial conundrum.

We're still waiting for word as to if Matt gets on at Staples or not... we are now told that we will know by Monday, so keep praying on that front. In totally positive news, Matt did get some hours tonight and works tomorrow and Saturday.

As for me, I am ALMOST done with addressing my-side's wedding invitations. I think I have 9 left... 3 my mother just sent me and 5-6 that Amanda is supposed to be getting me by tomorrow... So the invites SHOULD be in the mail... by the end of next week.. I don't exactly have the money required to buy stamps for them to be sent this week.

I am PSYCHED about having the internet again... and there are now 53 days till the wedding!

that's NOT much time to get the money needed... not at all...

well, anyways, till next time,

DFTBA
