Payday didn’t eventuate today. Why? I wondered. Then went and checked how much I was paid on Christmas Eve - it didn’t seem enough to cover a whole month (i.e. two pay packets in one because the uni would be closed on the day I was supposed to put in my next timesheet) - so I assumed I’d been paid a little bit more than the usual amount, either due to Christmas bonhomie in the pay office, or the extra hours I’d tacked on for extra report work. Nope. Neither. I had actually submitted my projected hours due to no one being around over Christmas and New Year, but assumed I’d still get paid fortnightly. Wrong.

What happened (this is what I’ve been able to fathom) is that they gave me a months pay all in one go on Christmas Eve, but it was less than what I would have got if I added two fortnightly ones together. I think I went into another tax bracket. Which is why it didn’t add up. Which is why I, in my personal form of budgeting which works by having about $10 left before payday, am going to be living on rice for the next two weeks. Gah. Actually, my budgeting wasn’t too bad, I had put a little bit aside to cover house repayments…kind of. Well, with the addition of all my secret emergency money *sigh*

Antipathy is waning. M made the best pesto I have ever tasted tonight for dinner with grape tomatoes and wholemeal pasta. I swooned with delight and washed up without a peep. I even took a picture of my dinner, but I won’t post it here because I am running out of space…actually had NO SPACE left until nice Martin gave me 20MB more to use and told me to start deleting to make some room. I can’t decided whether to kill off some of the Bidston Moss mp3 files (that are taking up 50% of all my space or wipe some [miaow] archives. I’m leaning toward the mp3s. Oh. Also saw the biggest spider I’ve ever seen outside captivity today. Sitting on my car. Took a picture of that too.

Oh you can never delete archives! It would be such a shame!
I even go back and read some of my old stuff. It’s like a wonderful walk down memory lane for me.

I think you’re probably right - I did get the server space for me and not for the band…So I suppose if the band want to throw some money at some server space, then that’s when I’ll put the mp3’s back up. I think I’ll just take down half of them….
:o)
