Letting money slip through your fingers

That really annoys me. It seems like some people can always get their hands on spare cash and within days have nothing to show for it. One of my friends is like this. She can always get extra cash but she just wastes it. Last year she got over $2k from stock options from the company she works for. She got the money in 3 installments because it was 3 different disbursements.

With the first two she went and got tattoos that was almost half of the disbursement. Then she paid a few bills and wasted the rest of the money going out with her friends. She also had to pay back more than one cash advance that she had taken out. Then she complains because she wants to buy a computer and go back to school. Needless to say she’s not in school this semester because she couldn’t afford $500 for 2 classes. Major eyeroll there.

I shudder to think how she’s going to waste her tax refund. I wish I could get my hands on half the cash she does.

My interview is today

I’m not even nervous about it either. Which is weird because I usually stress all day when I have an interview. Not this time though. I think it’s because I really don’t care if I get the job. The extra money would be nice and the experience would be even nicer. Yeah imagine that, I’m more concerned with the additional experience than I am about the money. But I like my job and wouldn’t mind staying here.

I applied for this job initially several months ago. I never really gave it any more thought because it took so long for them to get back to me. I thought maybe they had filled the position or something. So I was surprised when they called me to schedule the interview. The only thing I’m stressed about? My hair! It’s a mess. It’s raining and humid outside so it’s turning into a frizzy mess. I forgot my hair clip this morning so I could clip it back, so I have it in a semi-bob hairstyle.

Oh well, it will be over soon.
