Ok. So before I went to sleep yesterday, I calculated my actual expenses. I had initially thought 200 pesos would be sufficient for my needs. But I was wrong. Dead wrong. My actual for meals, fares, and miscellaneous expenses actually total 340 pesos. Ok.... My budget plan is out of date and in need of serious review. This means re-allocating some of the payments I've planned. My landlady won't be too happy but she'll have to live with it. I'm still paying after all.
Anyways, the goal's 4,000 pesos by my birthday. Hmmm... This will be a fine challenge. I should really start pulling some strings. Remind people who owe me that they owe me, stuff like that.
Gotta make a plannned expenses' report and at the end of the pay-cycle make an actual expenses' report. Then I ought to compare the two and see what other blindspots I have. Cripes. This is gonna be tiresome.
On a different subject, the jester of the department is gone. Today was his last day. Others called him the Showman. He will be missed. He always had something funny to say and never failed in getting at least a smile from all of us. I hope he finds greener pastures and whatever it is he's looking for.
