“Come on be my baby, toniiiight” –David, The Real World: New Orleans
Things That Are Cool And/Or Of Concern About Next Month:
Can you discern which is which is the real question, though….
1. This bitch turns 28! How in the holla hell did that happen? Just as fast as you can say dial Dr. Botox circa my mini-Extreme Makeover Special, and now we’re talkin’.
2. My PTO accrual rate goes up to 14.78 hours per quadri-weekly cycle! PTO, which stands for "paid time off" for the sad uninitiated, generally increases by ten, fifteen, and twenty years increments of service to my employer. But since my employer is a UC school, and I went to and worked at a UC school, heeeeeeey! I gets credit earned for credits served. Cha-ching bling bling and e’erything.
3. The Castro Street Halloween "Festival" Occurs! And this time, the Castro isn’t my backyard, so I can come, piss as I please, get loudly drunk and obscene, and not have to suffer from others doin’ the same when I throw in the towel at 8:00 p.m. as per my wont.
4. The second pay check I receive in October can be used for whatever I want! Since I get three pay checks in November versus two, thus covering November and December rent, the second of two I get in October is all mine, baby. Will I pay bills? Will I invest wisely? Will I forward the monies towards some large munificent "project" to my liking? Oh, the suspense is barely perceptible.
