Not a good sign... the last week or two I've been unable to find any funniness in my job. AND THAT IS SO NOT OK!
The fruits of the phone are not being reaped. I rarely talk to anyone. I listen to fax machines, busy signals and tepid, banal messages on answering machines.
I know the tide will turn... the dude who had the cube next to me got an awesome phone message last week. The debtor calls back after the Sunday morning church service. All she says is "Mr. Bill Collector, you are THE DEVIL." click. Then she calls back with the second half, says while she was at church that morning, she had rebuked the devil and then she apologized for saying he was the devil. What she meant was that he was possessed by the devil and she would be willing to help drive the devil out of his body. How come I'm not getting any of that shit? Damn.

The Logic Astounds Me
I love the "not my fault" calls...
THEY shouldn't have lent me the money...
THEY knew I didn't have a job when THEY gave me the credit card.
THEY knew I couldnt pay it back, so I shouldnt have to.
This chick was a true piece of work... I'm looking at her account.. appears to be an overdrawn checkbook. I get her on the phone and she tells me about the day she goes to the cash machine to get $20 for her baby's daddy.... she takes out the $20 and sees a balance of over $3000 on the receipt. So she takes out as much as she can at the cash machine and then writes a couple thousand dollars worth of checks against the rest. Common sense tells the majority of us that those extra zeros on the balance will go away as fast as they appeared. Now this chick is all balled up about me calling her asking her to cover all the bad checks she wrote. "Shit, the bank gave me the money and I don't have to give it back, it's the bank's mistake!!"
And I never get the satisfaction of seeing the sheriff roll in on the workplace or see the look on the dude's face after we clean out his checking account. Lots of strokin' but I never get the happy ending. Maybe I should switch to the legal department.

Spend responsibly - pay down your credit cards... don't give the credit card companies any more money than you have to.

End of the Month
Apparently I was in a bad mood yesterday.... LORDY,this job is a bit of a downer.
Hold yourself accountable and give just a little thought to what you spend your money on.
How much thought, energy and money goes into the advertising we are bombarded with? So maybe put a little bit of thought into your purchases before you throw down the plastic....
Five awesome questions to ask yourself when you're pulling out your wallet...
DO I NEED IT?
WHAT WILL I DO WITH IT?
WHERE WILL I PUT IT?
WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF I WAIT TO BUY IT?
HOW WILL I PAY FOR IT?
