Work Is Teh Suck Right Now

My desk at work is pretty big. Sometimes I think I should just give it a shot and hide it like George from Seinfeld did. No one would be the wiser, I would think. Lord knows work can be so mind-numbingly boring sometimes that the need to sleep nearly takes over.

My boss wants me doing a tour of the east in a few weeks. I'd be travelling from Fredricton to the barren nowheres of Newfoundland all within the span of a week. Travelling is fun and all but sometimes all I crave is a more routine kind of life... wake up, take the subway downtown, run around doing work at an office all day, meet up with friends for dinner and drinks, maybe go shopping, head home for some good TV and a nice warm shower, then go to sleep. Day in, day out, that wouldn't be a bad deal.

I've been struggling with figuring out where I stand financially. Most of my money had been squirreled away for safekeeping/investment purposes, and every two weeks I manage to spend more than my disposable income allows for. I always feel like I'm on a tight budget, even though I do end up spending money on gratuitous items every now and then. My parents tell me to go ahead and take money out of my savings accounts and investment funds if I want to, but I can't help but feel that would be the beginning of the end. Once I start, I'd never be able to stop, and I'd be left with nothing for the future. Wow, don't I sound like the responsibility-minded adult? ;)
