In The Red

Hmmm... Sounds like the title for a novel. But it isn't. Simply put, I'm in the red. The previous months' weekend activities had taken a far larger toll on me than expected. I was not expecting to be behind with my cash flow as I do now... Damn it. I'm supposed to be an internal accountant and I let this happen to me. Not too happy with it. Damn me to oblivion.

Anyways, I expect my finances to stabilize by next pay. That's around 2 weeks from now. Still too long for comfort. The fact that it's the day when our quarterly bonus is released doesn't bode well for me either. I'm behind. Way behind. But I reckon that when February rolls in, I'll be in the position to actually start earning. And keeping my rent current. That last bit gnaws at me like a starved rat on a wedge of cheese.

Anyways, no choice but to maintain my present course. The stakes are too high now. And despite how much a prattle or tendency to go emo most of the time, it pales in comparison to the enormity of my year's main task. As I had promised myself, this is the year I obtain my bloody-delayed BSC-Management Accounting degree. Even if I have to go begging at my dad to do so. That will take a huge chunk out of my self-esteem and pride. That blasted degree will go a long way when I finally set the other phases of my plan in motion. If nothing else, it can give my a basic qualification for going up the corporate ladder.

As for why a corporate ladder and not my own business, I'll go into that in the future. It deserves an entry all of its own.
